Fun game! The different environments are cool and I liked the way the gameplay sections are broken up.
One technical thing: I played on browser because I'm on Linux, and for whatever reason the text wasn't scaling properly so I couldn't fully read it.
I also think the music would be better with a longer loop.
Thanks for playing it. Wish we had more time to finetune the difficulty but such is the nature of a short jam.
I had a really good time with this one. I especially liked the random choices before entering the dungeon, they add a nice bit of variety and make each run feel a little different.
I also really liked the art. Out of all the games I've played in the jam so far, this is probably the one that gave me the strongest actual Game Boy feeling, both visually and in the overall presentation.
I found the game a bit difficult at times, but not in a frustrating way. Overall, it was a really nice experience and definitely one of the entries that stood out to me so far.
I really appreciate you taking the time to play it and make a comment like this! We're happy it fit the theme. This is our first jam and it's nice to know some people enjoyed what we made.
I had some fun playing this game. It has the feeling of a gameboy game. diffrent option you choose can help you push forward or can heal you up entirely which is nice because I fell into many traps.
I did encounter a small bug. when I skip a temple it got stuck in the dialog and I couldn't go on.
Thank you for playing and for the bug report! The ending was very rushed. I think we'll finish the game soon and upload a "final" polished version after the jam has fully ended.
Pretty fun and had some pretty hard gameplay! Definitely landed the GB soul in there, liked the intro too. Great submission.
Thanks so much. Maybe we should have toned down the difficulty a tad. ;)
Nice opening, starting on a black screen because hes blindfolded is a great way to use the limitation. and the rest study artifacts pick berries choice before the dungeon gives the run some shape before you even get there. nice job
I appreciate it. We wanted to break up the dungeon crawling gameplay with a fresh way to get some random bonuses.
Thank you so much for playing the game!
I think the dialogue was quite funny and the game gives of a really nice nostalgic vibe, only issue is what you already said yourself about the difficulty being a bit skewed: in the haunted ship, the arrow and the sword at the boss was especially difficult, and the arrows overall feel a little bit quick. But, I genuinely like the game and I think it fits the theme well, super well done on your first jam!
Thank you so much for playing the game and for your detailed review. You got pretty far into it, which is awesome to hear.
Also the specific feedback in regards of difficulty is really useful.
