I really dig the overall aesthetic of the game, but not so much the core gameplay loop.

First I want to say that I wish every commented review was a stream because it's way more informative to me as a developer to watch exactly how someone interacts with the game. Appreciate the review, especially the good feedback (I've never had the chance to play wind waker, and now I wish I had before I did this jam). Some of your questions were covered in the tutorial, but it's not very clear that the tutorial text is a button so that's probably a design mistake on my part. Definitely not a great game loop but a good lesson in what is and ISN'T fun in game design. I enjoyed watching that though, I'd go as far to say I'd love to QA test my larger projects with you streaming them as kind of an "Streamer Early Access" type deal. The assessments are fair and the feedback is actually useful and thought provoking, even when it's blunt (but blunt feedback makes better games). So maybe in the not-so-near future I'll hit you up and we can work something out for my larger projects :)
This looks and sounds cool, and the character's movement is great! But whenever the first package expired, I got a game over screen, was brought to the menu screen, and never got any gold to spend in the shop.

Fateful DungeonThe presentation is very cool--I love the old-school CRT monitor effect. The controls are solid. The sound design is pleasant, atmospheric and not grating.
Unfortunately, the gameplay doesn't quite have enough variety to sustain interest after a bit. At first we aspire to get the upgrades, but once we have them, the gameplay doesn't continue to evolve.
(Random thought: Boy, am I glad I don't work at Amazon. :/ )

The Shirt of ScarsAgreed. An idea I initially had was for random consumables to drop - package freeze, package "nuke", score multiplier, time slowdown, etc. It also would've been cool to find new ways to add a little more "punch" to the gameplay, and difficulty increase over time. Thank you for the kind review, it was a fun jam :) (Also I worked at a FedEx warehouse as a package handler briefly lol)
A really well made game, especially love the CRT effect. Tho it is a bit hard for me.
