Use of the limitation
I made the game loop/win condition revolve around collecting crystals for the theme. I made timing central to the combat for the restriction.

No cookies were eaten :( But I did have PB&Js

Love the art style. Whole game was very immersive, almost like VR. Great work!

Submitted

This game looks amazing! Really cool idea, and I love how the combat with the enemies feels. Great work!

Submitted

Really cool dungeon crawler! I liked the hand-drawn style, exploring for crystals and chests, and then running into enemies along the way. The timing-based combat is a nice fit for the limitation. I’d just make the timing window and successful hits a little clearer with stronger visual or audio feedback.

Developer

Yeah I think after actually getting to test it more I realized how clunky the stamina and combat can get, especially for someone else playing it... I'm glad you liked it though :)

Submitted

Wow i've played for nearly 2h this was a lot of fun, a lot of content for a minijam and well balanced. 

This is the best game i have played in this jam. It feels good to be alive !

Congratulations !

Developer

Wow I'm glad you tried it for that long! I realized too late that a lot of the mechanics aren't really explained so thanks for sticking it out

Submitted

This is incredibly well made, I can't believe you did this by yourself in 3 days, and to have made all the art as well is crazy. Seriously well done

Developer

Haha thanks I'm honestly surprised people liked the art so much! I had a head start with some reused player controller and maze generation code and even then it took way way longer than I was expecting... and I had to patch it after the time limit because the ending didn't work which kinda goes against the sprit of a time limit tbh

Submitted

it’s really too good !!!

Submitted

Really fun and polished !

Submitted

art is great!

i wish i could punch the wizard, the art was silly and i enjoyed chasing the guys around to pummel them. i like how we could optionally shake our fists in rage too, collecting he crystals were fun. 10/10 

Submitted

I like the art but you couldn't punch the wizard

Submitted

the art style is amazing!

I think this one wins conceptually for me. Reminds me of kings field a bit, for some reason.

Developer

Wow thanks a lot! I looked at some gameplay and it really is similar, but with better models lol

My main inspirations were the old elder scrolls games that used the 2d sprites and a bit of punch-out for the combat

Submitted

Nice art idea concept and interesting gameplay.

Not bad the idea of using the stamina for the time restriction but wanted to see a little more.

Submitted

Love the art but I don't see how the limitation was implemented.

Developer

You can parry if you time your block and you deal more damage if you time your punch charge
