Ranked from 11 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
The relics and "upgrades" you find can't be trusted until you uncover what they actually do. One of the characters may also not be what they seem...

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We used public assets for most 3D models and animations, and bought a character pack for all enemies in the game. Credits are in the Description :)

All code and and 2D art were made during the jam.

Nice game, I liked the movement mechanics and combos, but it was too laggy to use its full potentional.

Can you control the wasps?

This reminded me of a game from like 20 years ago that I cant remember the name of. The Visuals were great, I loved the model choices, especially the enemies. The shaders were nice and clean looking but boy did they mess up performance. specifically the fire splash looking shader that would appear around the enemies, that one seemed to cause the most performance drop. I loved the item mechanic, most of the negative ones were inconvenient in a way that made the gameplay interesting and fun, but some of them were just straight out of hell. I could have sworn I heard one of you laughing when I realized the one that inverted the movement keys also messed with the mouse. diabolical.

Restarting the game after dying didn't seem to work very well, everything was unlit and flickering until getting to the shop keeper. This happened every time that I restarted, I liked the music choice for the game, it totally went along with the game reminding me of something from 20 years ago.

pretty solid game overall lots of stars

Thanks so much for the thorough review!! You're probably right about the shaders; it was our first 3D game, so we still need to figure out what works and what doesn't in the browser. The reason the game flickers like that when you reload is because we tried to optimize by only rendering the rooms that the player is in and the ones the player is next to, but didn't get a chance to fix that for reload, so when you restart, you are technically too far away for that room to render properly; it was a good lesson. Thanks for checking it out!

Honest opinion:

A lot of work. Mechanics seem to work fine. But game is very unoptimised, it's especially noticable when shader effects occur. I had to stop playing as it slowed down too much. I managed to walk off map at one point, but it wasn't game breaking.

Music doesn't fit at all. You've got a rock track to a fantasy setting. It's a complete mismatch.

The theme is there, but it's really just felt like a small side mechanic.

Dungeon of Distrust

The whole idea of not knowing what an item actually does until you use it works really well with the jam theme — every new piece of loot makes you question whether you should even touch it I also really liked the music and the minimap, they add a surprising amount to the overall feel of the game.

The game did get pretty noticeably laggy for me at times, especially during combat. If the performance gets a little more polish, I think the whole experience would feel much better. But the core dungeon crawler idea is really fun!

Thanks so much for checking it out, Rae! I'm so glad you like the music; it was super fun to make! I noticed that the game gets pretty laggy during the first fight, but once the enemy assets are loaded, it's pretty smooth if you ever want to give it another shot.

Thats a nice game !!! Love the art!

I find the music to surprising when I start, it'd be better to have a softer start! Also you could have made a good loading screen!

The game is great and I liked it!

loot you cant identify until you use it is a proper trust no one twist on a dungeon crawler, and the hand drawn key art is a delight against the 3d. the descend button never took my click in browser tho so i only saw the menu, difficulty names are funny

Thanks so much for playing! This was our first 3D game on itch.io, so I'm sure it could be better optimized.
