• This is really neat!
• I thought this was really neat! The aesthetics are simple but work well and although quite minimal, the clear controls made it easy to quickly start playing. There's a great framework here for innovation in the future. With more time it could become something great!
• An appropriate name for an appropriately quaint little title. Really liked the aesthetic chosen here compliments the simple and arcade-y game-play. Trying to solve each room even though its a little different each time is a really good hook and there's a fair amount of depth to think about past that. Its quick to get back into the game after a loss which is big for game like this. The quaint little messages from the death screens made me feel a little better each time I died and I liked knowing that my efforts were in vain because of my bat related diseases. The only major complaint I have with the game is that its often way to restricting in the players movement, since you cant move into a space a monster is leaving or entering (and angry onward the spaces besides those spaces) it often leaves you in scenarios where you have no way out. Its fine and often a fun feature of rogue-likes to have rounds you just cant win but in this game I feel it happens way to often. it could have just been my luck but I must have had 20 deaths to attempting to move out of the way of a monster into a block that had a monster in it. Then there were the times when I would reveal 3 monsters at the start and get boxed in, or reveal a monster on every square around the stairs, or had 2 angry enemies passing by. The shield saved my life so many times also really funny that i just wear it like a suit of armor. I started really taking into account what my move was if the next square I revealed was an enemy and in a lot of situation it would just end my run before I had any space to work with. I'm not sure how the enemy spawn works like if its a % chance based on level but it was wildly variant in my playthroughs In my last winning run I had 3 of the angry levels with 1 or no enemies spawn but 5 or 6 in bouncy tourney and slimy. in the last few levels when the map is bigger it actually felt like the game was so much easier despite the harder enemies just because I had more room to work with. I know that was kind of a lot to say about balance because despite being a little rogue-like there's a lot to love in game-play idea, aesthetics, and humor but had kind of a frustrating time actually beating the game and i thin with just a few tweaks I wouldn't have felt that way.
