Awesome art style! Also really nice game, simple but really fun! I would suggest adding instructions, in game, also option menu was very unique! Well done!

Developer

Thanks a lot :))
Instructions added in the Steam version ;)

Really cool game. I love the old style pixelart.

This is really fun, and very well made.  I like your MS-DOS style graphical style, your sound effects are great, and the digging mechanic is really fun.  My biggest complaint goes to the health system, where the player dies very quickly.  It feels like the player needs more starting health, or the AI needs to be a little less aggressive near the start of the game.

Developer

Thanks a lot! I've added a life and quicken the game over sequence in the steam release :))

Great job on your game. Liked the art style and the music. Its really small though and hard to see things.

Developer

thanks a lot :))

If the game started in windowed mode for some reason, hit the top right yellow block at the beginning of the game. It's the fullscreen block

Very nice gameplay and aesthetics! Reminded me of some old DOS games as well as Spelunky.

Criticisms/Suggestions:

Could use a little tutorial, the game requires some fast reactions so there's not much time to learn how to use bombs and such.

It's also not immediately clear you can interact with the shopkeeper (or that he is a shopkeeper). First time I encountered him I thought it was a checkpoint.

Ability to skip the starting animations would be appreciated, they're nice the first time, but not after you've had to restart the game several times.

The game over sound effect was really loud compared to other audio, at least on my speakers. Also, the game over lasts longer than it has to - it'd probably be better to let player push a button to pass it than put it on a timer.

Minor point: Not sure why you've added the tag "roguelite" since there doesn't seem to be any permanent upgrades. From what I could see, it's a full-on "roguelike".

Thanks for all the usefull feedback! Luckily most of the stuff is already fixed in the version I'm working on right now ( it's going on steam )

The shop keeper, thanks to your comment, is now a vending machine with a "Shop" text on top, and the game now has a small tutorial in the beginning :))

graphics and sounds are amazing! It does require some polishing as axe sometimes aim down instead of where I want it to hit. making it really hard to kill the enemies on sides. 

The UI and animations and everything was great! well done ^^

Developer

Thanks a lot! 

I was aware that this was a problem for the up direction ( the bomb combo ), but I'll add some more sensibility checks on the down one as well ( steam release ).

Are you on a gamepad or keyboard?

Submitted(+1)

I played on gamepad as it suggested. vibration  was nice! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback. I've noticed the problem myself as well, once you made me notice it! Thanks again :))

Submitted(+1)

If you play my game Try the webBuild here. it has music so it will be more fun.

you can still rate my music 1 star because i couldn't add it in time. thanks!!

Submitted(+1)

almost great, a few things bothered me but with some polish this would be a great game :) 

Submitted(+1)

I am getting so retro vibes!!:)

Submitted(+1)

That classic art and music design felt wonderful. Went to play without reading anything so I count able to figure out axing enemies.  Also I played with the keyboard so coundn't enjoyed most. I wish I had more life in the beginning. 

Great game !! great work!!

How the hell your game is just 5mb :P

Developer(+1)

I’m working on a refined version that is going to release on steam,, it will have a tutorial in it x)

Thanks for the feedback, I was thinking of setting lifes to 3 and now that I’m reading this, I will. 

Looks like game maker has a very little overhead, then the game has less than 50 sprites in it, and rooms are generated from strings (ascii art).

Yoyo games did a splendid job with their engine :))

Submitted(+1)

Wow, this is a pretty rad game. Top-class for me.

Love it. It's retro design makes me feel this pretty much showcase worthy for this game jam.

Developer(+1)

Let's hope so! I'd really need some visibility x))

Thanks a lot! Going to try your game immediately!

Submitted(+1)

I really underestimated this game before playing! i didn't expect a lot of content! really well done, the art is amazing and it's well designed. if only the screen transition was much faster and there is more lifes when getting hit by enemies, i'm still wondering how this game is only 5mb lol. i love it, nice job :)

Developer(+1)

Low res graphics and audio, and the amazing small overhead of game maker made it possible to compress everything in 5mb!

Also, chunks are generated by a set of strings ( ascii art ), so there are 7 scenes only!

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you liked it! I've addressed the issue of the screen transiction in the build that I'm going to release on Steam ( sadly not available for the jam )
