Thanks! I thought the art turned out pretty decent too.  Also, I do have tendency to make my games tough. It probably would've been even harder if I had the time to design more enemies and mechanics for them.  

Thanks! Good to hear you liked it despite how simple it is. There's a lot I didn't get to do with this game that I had planned. But I guess it's fine in the state it's in because people seem to be enjoying it

Thanks! I mostly stuck with my slightly modified version of this palette made by Ryosuke: https://lospec.com/palette-list/deep-maze.  Pulling palettes from Lospec is something I'll do often for pixel art jam projects. The sound effects were mainly made with chiptone: https://sfbgames.itch.io/chiptone. That's another thing I like to use for jams

I appreciate the compliment! My theory for why you couldn't launch the game is that you clicked somewhere on the page outside the game before pressing P, and so it didn't register. If that is the case, that's my bad. I blended the game's background with the page's background. If I had the time, I would've made it a button to start the game rather than a key press to avoid that along with giving it the same polish the level up screen has.

Thanks! It doesn't have near as much content as I would've liked, but it's nice to hear that what is there is satisfying

Thank you! Art and power fantasy was my primary focus for this one

Thanks! Always good to hear that a fellow goblin lover is pleased with my work
