Cool game. I struggled a bit to understand what exactly I have to do near the well but than it was a very nice experience.
Really addicting, has excellent game play, highly suggest
I was not able to jump. The game just restarts when pressing space. W does not do anything unfortunately. It looks like an interesting game though.
Really nice game. The graphics are nice and the gameplay feels very polished. The idea of sacrificing bugs to the well for money was really funny. Pretty great all around! Please give my game a try too :)
Thanks! Will do.
Really loved the art style.. It was beautiful.. The game was pretty decent.. I had fun playing it.. Good job :)
Great job on your game really enjoyed it specially the boss battle. Great job on even having a second stage of the boss. Liked the music and art style.
The visuals are amazing, loved the concept and would love to have controller support for the game
Please try our game and drop in some feedback

Thanks! I might figure out controller support in the future. Also, sure, I'll check out your game.
I love the game the visuals are amazing and the soundtrack is pretty neat to. The controls are okay, but create problems with different types of keyboards. Besides that amazing game I would love this as a full release :D
Neat game, but it is really hard to enjoy with these controls. For most people it is not a problem, but the Z and the Y button are flipped on some keyboards (Hungarian, German etc) so I would recommend either not using a control scheme like this, or providing alternatives (like: ASD does the same thing), or adding the ability to rebind. Also, using the up button, or space for jumping would feel more natural, so I think it's worth considering to rebind the controls.
The actual game was fun, but fighting even a simple spider was tedious (because controls). The game had a quite a lot of enemy variety, and a shop with unique upgrades, so great job! :)
Thanks for the feedback! You're right, I hadn't even considered how different keyboards would affect the controls. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
Brilliant game design! I love the visuals of this game.
Sound effects and music all fit the tone of this game so well.
The transition between maps is also smooth.
The character control is nice, and I enjoy the boss battle a lot.
Great job!
Surprisingly complex game. I like your concept of the Theme and your art work.
Great work :)
Really cute fun game! The movement is tight and polished tho the controls confused me a little but I eventually got used to them :) Awesome game overall!
really chill game with a lot of potential! the graphics are awesome and the sound design is perfect! the start of the game is a bit harsh. getting used to the controls and constant deaths but the further you proceed the more fun the game gets!
i would love to see a longer experience with the same mechanics! 9.8 / 10
Nice idea. Game looks polished, movement is smooth. Art is clear and have a gameboy vibe.
Good job!
The graphics are beautiful and cute, I really loved it. The game is also very fun and the sound effects and background music really adds onto the cute graphics of the game. Well Dome.
Fun little game, but the final boss was a big heckin pain. I really don't enjoy grinding, but felt that the game forced me to do so anyways. It was just a lot of back and forth from the skeletons to the shop and back. Then when I finally thought I'd beat the boss, I realised that was only the first phase... The start of the game was fun, and I enjoyed exploring the area and learning the enemy patterns. The art and music were also super neat, and the game was nicely polished, well done!
This is a really well put together game, it feels very complete and polished already. Love the upgrade shop system and a little back story to get the game started. The player controls are great, the enemies are varied and the art and sounds are awesome. The boss fight is really complex and well designed, this is a really fun game. You're right about the theme association being a little bit of a stretch ;) but the game is really great overall, nice job!
Game has a nice feel to it.. also cool upgrades feature! I would personally prefer a different controls layout (ADSW with Space as jump) but all in all nice game. Good work:) Feel free to check out my submission too if you get a chance. Thanks! :)
Thanks! I might add editable controls in the future, however I'm still unsure whether or not I'll be updating this game anytime soon. Also, sure, I'll check it out.
I was surprised this was actually well polished game with nice animations and all, spent a nice 20 minutes with this. Keep the good stuff going!
This game is amazing, my favourite so far i got to the second phase of the boss and i couldn't do it anymore, i finally rage quitted after an hour of playing this awesome game! keep up the good work!
Thanks! You didn't miss much after the boss fight though. It was just a simple ending after you put the dragon into the well. Also I've heard many others talk about the difficulty of the boss so I'll be sure to change it up a bit if I update it so it's not as hard to beat it anymore.
