Thanks so much! Really appreciate it. :D

Really appreciate it! Yeah, it was a lot of fun to dip into something retro, but it ended up being a great choice for the idea.

Thanks so much! Yeah, I thought it was a fun challenge to make an old broken game still feel polished and modern. A lot of choices were around how "broken" it should feel while still being true to how the "original" game would play.

Thanks! A lot of it was actually pulled from a D&D campaign, so it's like a little slice of another story I may want to flesh out in a longer game one day.

Thanks so much! Surprised you hit a softlock, thanks for letting me know. I know that in testing it was possible to break the game by getting to a room without corruption or keys, but then I thought I plugged them up. Ah well, glad it was a good time foryou!

Thanks so much! I appreciate it. :D Loved yours as well

Thanks! High praise because I was very addicted to the gameplay loop on your game. :D I was worried going into this jam that the replayability on mine was tough because it wasn't always clear what items would do, but a few items were actually quite fun in practice.

Thanks so much! 

I thought I put enemies far enough away, so sorry for the issues with the bumping. Very glad you enjoyed the story, though, that one was Sunday's polishing round.

Volume control was on my "Nice to have" list that I couldn't get around to implementing in time. Thanks for the feedback, I'll make sure it's in future games.

Wow, that's awesome praise! Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it and got through. :D

Thanks so much! Yeah, the graphics were one of my first ideas because I am not good at art or 3d and I like the idea of trying to find alternative interpretations of the theme. Appreciate it!

Thanks! I appreciate it because I went through several iterations finding the best way to represent something that's kind of confusing at first.

PS: Went through a small deep dive on some of your games, so now I take your praise of the highest esteem. xD Love your work!

Appreciate it! :D

Thanks so much! So glad you made it to the end. I'm curious how many people get that far and get the true ending.

Yeah, trying to get the concept clear was the biggest struggle for me. I wrote the game and still found myself getting in a flow and trying to stab enemies to death. Making that concept clear initially without spoiling the story is tough to put into a few minutes-long game.

Vamp Dagger was probably my favorite. Overflow kills are so satisfying and you get to zip around the map after using it. FOUNTAIN is also an amusing strategy.

Thanks for playing! :D

Really appreciate the kind words! I was actually inspired on the theme thinking about things like the Pokemon Black Version and Ben Drowned. The idea of turning the genre a bit upside down was fun to try.

Your game is awesome, by the way. Was going to play it before this comment and ended up just playing it until I had to leave for lunch. xD

Thanks for playing! Yeah, trying to make the gimmick clear without explaining it straight up in the game was something I struggled with communicating. But it's a concept I'm really happy with, especially some of the broken item combos that offset it.

Loved your game as well. :D
