Banger soundtrack with a cool idea for a game, zelda likes are popular for a reason. The game does suffer a bit form “mash the atttack” and nothing else, which is I think the biggest “issue” here, what we have is not bad, it just comes down to attack and pray. Some kind of abilities/items or healing that can be found in the dungeon would help a bit with the scorechaser idea.

Graphics were neat, very reminicent of the old are, so was the sfx and the music. Sometimes gold was not picked up :(

Overall a cool idea and with some additions you could have a lovely game on your hands!

That soundtrack is great, and the combat actually made me think rather than just mash

Great game! We were also inspired by Ozymandias for our game so it's cool to see someone else do a similar interpretation even though our games are so distinct.

Best Soundtrack Ever! I matches the “datacenter” theme perfect. You did a great job with the graphics and music, and the game has a good pace! I would love to have more weapons and more complex rooms.

Well done anyways!

Great job on this! I like how combat wasn't just knocking back enemies over and over, I actually had to develop a decent strategy and play carefully. Also loving the Toby Fox inspiration with the music, it's a bop. Nice work!

Thanks Levi!! Glad you enjoyed it!

I liked it, it's a good game, short but concise in its main mechanics (kill robots and collect gold), it reminds me a lot of the dungeons in "A Link to the Past" but quite cut down (I suppose there's more to add if we take into account the audios/effects that weren't used). Keep up the good work.

We had quite a scope for this game originally (think multiple levels, a proper shop upgrade system, a pizza-tower-wario-land-esc escape system) haha and sorta panicked later in the week. cydlee, our sole programmer, had the misfortune of being coincidentally swept up in jury duty which kept him in court for a good chunk of time. we have quite a bunch of leftover assets for other obstacles like slightly more complicated enemies and lasers and spikes and special artifacts (the 2005 Reagan proof coin is the best one). could continue building on this game in the future, but really happy with what we could out for this jam!! (cydlee gets most of the credit)
