Agreed!
Please don't feel discouraged by the ratings guys, i think you should turn this into a full game, its so damn good

Thank you! We were prepared for really bad ratings since we had many reviews complaining about the movement and gameplay difficulty. In my head I don't see a game like this being viable for anything longer than the game jam version since the random events gets a little bit tiring. Having more would help with that, but it would make it feel even less in control, and having fewer would get old fast. If this WERE to be a full game, it might be better to have linear levels with combat arenas, like a top down version of DOOM (1993), and the arenas could be designed around one of the curses, or a selection of them.
For me the movement and the difficulty are big reasons why I was engaged (I played until stage 14 and would have continued if i didnt rage quit and lose all my progress...)
During my game time, I haven't felt tired of the curses/blessings and was still trying to play around them to get better, it's a kind of a rare game experience so I loved it.
I think you have something here, and you obviously got more ideas you can play with, im not sure what you mean by the combat arenas but you're already cooking. Anyway whatever you do you guys are talented AF and im glad you're making games
