Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • An incomplete roguelike with 3D graphics, yet extremely traditional gameplay. Playing it comes down to trying to lure enemies one by one, pressing Z next to them and pacing around to regenerate HP every once in a while (waiting with C appears a lot worse at that than pacing). Since you can see the entire map from the start and destroying other lost souls does nothing for you, you can just rush to the exit room every time, only occasionally having to explore the level to search for mushrooms to address hunger. (How is a soul in the afterlife threatened by hunger anyway, and how do poisonous-looking mushrooms grow there?) In all, this is hardly a fun experience, especially in its current state.

Your game is a bit confusing on what their attack range is

Yeah I can see that - there’s a finished version coming in the near future which addresses issues like that, so stay tuned!
