I mean, Since all you have to do is run around and dodge slimes, You didn't have to wield a sword. Those treasure chests was kind of unnecessary too, since they didn't give you anything

Would be great if the character actually uses the sword. Like a slashing state starts once he is facing a monster. And regardless of effect, a random item taken from the treasure chest will be activated immediately or with a time delay. Or it will auto-equip an equipment if that's what's there. This could give it more variation even with just one mouse click.

Given the time constraints of the game jam, 1 or 2 items would be enough, i think.

But yeah, concept for controls is cool. Just needed a little bit more variance and/or depth. Overall though, well done. :)

P.S.

It took some time for me to get that long press of the LMB would initiate a turning. Not sure if there was a tutorial somewhere. But if there was, i didn't notice it.

Cool concept, just wish there was some kind of upgrades like a lot of dungeon crawlers, the chests were a massive tease

Cool to see that this was made in defold, had my eye on that engine for a little while now.  I wish the game wasn't so harsh.  Some checkpoints or some additional health would've been good. Movement is kinda tricky but rewarding to get a hold of. There is a lot of good art in this game but I'm not sure if it was all done by you in the 48 hours of the jam, if so, great job!
