  • Lots of fun! Goes to show the value that can come from *removing* an expectation of the player rather than always adding something. Solid mechanic, variety of weapons were great, though enemies would inevitably clump up in many levels due to spike placement/the nature of enemies that run directly at the player. Maybe less of these at the beginning would have made it more satisfying off rip, though it did get better once more enemies were introduced with different movement patterns!
  • It's giving original Legends of Zelda dungeons revamped!! Very polished, but I almost wish it was more punishing? Regardless, it was short and sweet.
  • The concept is really interesting. However the combat usually ends up with you running in circles over and over again. I think the level design could also be a little stronger. But other than that, the gameplay was really satisfying and polished, and the graphics were great.

How does the game fit into the theme?
My main idea was to create a vertical dungeon where the character can only attack upwards using different weapons.

What premade assets did you use if any?
I used my own menu/patterns/scripts templates, that I use to develop my games.

What are the Discord usernames of everyone on your team?
