The puzzles were somewhat counterintuitive in a good way - that takes some effort to design in such a way that the player never feels cheated or defeated. The music and graphics were a nice combination - gave a sort of SNES throwback. The combat was kind of clunky, but it's no a big deal.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I put a lot of thought into the puzzle design, so I’m really happy to hear that. As for the combat—well, it’s more of a secondary element!

Cool game!
I can't stop playing it until I solve the whole puzzle.
I really enjoyed playing it!
Keep up the good work!

I think I sequence broke the game; I left the dungeon as soon as I found the torch and then died. I don’t think that’s a flaw though; I think this is one of those knowledge-based games like Fear and Hunger and I felt kinda smart when I figured it out.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I designed it so that if you figure out the trick, you can escape right away. I was a bit worried that people might think it was a bug, so I’m really glad you saw it as a knowledge-based challenge instead! Hearing that you figured it out on your own really excites me.

The level design was great, and the notes on the walls guide you to learning all the secrets in a fun and engaging way! Great job!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Glad to hear that! I’m happy the notes helped guide you through the secrets in a fun way!

The mechanic for navigating the item menu is pretty neat! It makes efficient use of the space and keeps the player in the game.

Developer

Thank you for playing!
Since the screen felt too wide compared to something like the SNES, I wanted to make use of that space and avoid switching between screens for the menu.

Good game, the water felt counter intuitive lol, but fun ending!

Developer

Thank you for playing!
It’s that feeling of needing a bit of courage to take the first step... or well, it was just how the implementation worked out lol.

Yeah, the writing on the walls was well done!

Good game! But i goth stuck on some parts but it is well put together.

Developer

Thank you for playing! If there's any part that felt tricky, I’d love to hear about it.

Nice game.
The shift+WASD for moving things in your menu sounds like a weird idea but it works pretty well.

Developer

Thank you for playing!
The menu controls might be a bit unique, but I wanted to allow navigation without switching screens, so I thought this would work well.
