Woah pretty nice roguelike dungeon crawler, I really enjoyed playing it, even tho I’m not a big fan of the genre, still very neat, specially puzzles parts, like the candles

Thank you for the feedback! And thanks for playing! Glad to hear you enjoyed the game!

Very fun. I didn't notice the music loop thing the first time I played, so I can say it's not as distracting as the notice in the description made it sound.

Developer

Thank you for playing and thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear that it didn't bother you that much. The loop song is quite long so if you are fast enough it might not become an issue.

fun, it would be interesting to see powerups that let you freeze time

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! There were initial ideas of powerups, but those had to be left out due to resource and time constraints. Managing scope can be rough sometimes!

I found this game to be really fun. I like that there are two variants of the slime, and the timer is a nice addition to put pressure on the player. The combat feels good, and the artwork is nice. My only problem was that the music did not loop. Overall I really liked this.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Great that you found the game fun! Yeah, unfortunately we found out too late that the music format was wrong for it to loop on the web player version, but it does loop on the desktop version.

So close to getting to 3rd floor, simple / fun combat. Super well done

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Second floor is a bit difficult and needs balancing, but if you can make it to the start of the third level then you should be ok!

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the second level balance is still a bit off. Getting hit by the red slime is very punishing and there aren't enough green slimes to balance the clock out.
