The princess in need of rescue becomes the rescuer, and you lose abilities each floor in a reversal of gaining abilities over time in a typical roguelike.

Very short game, but I really liked the sprites and cover art. Although I never saw the shark!
Nice job! The art is cute and I like the idea. The gameplay itself is fairly simple, so I hope you’ll develop it further one the ratings period is over.
Great idea and I really like the animations! I think levels could maybe be a bit more interesting- a few keys to find for doors or assets to move around, but really goodwork!
Awesome, you and I had a similar idea lol. The art style is so cute!
Cool idea, would be interesting to see this more developed! Main thing that felt off was that the enemies didn't present much of a challenge and could be taken down in one hit. Also, pausing the game and forcing you to pick a debuff might be good, since you can just keep going even with the overlay on the screen.
I liked it but could use more polish like sound effects, and effects. The music is amazing.
I really liked the music and art style! With more abilities to take from players and giving something worse but cool, I can see this idea working really well!
So you reversed the rougelike genre by taking away abilites. Really great idea imo. However, taking away movespeed is just not fun. Obviously with more time the princess could start out with more abilities and you wouldnt have to touch something as important as movespeed, but as of now that is the main negative aspect.
Great idea, cute art and music.
Exacty all my thoughts! But otherwise a lot of reversed roles there. I like it a lot.
The Collision boxes of the princess and the walls could be less strict, it's sometimes a bit hard to get through.
Cute art
Love a lot of the art!
Love this concept! I'd really like to see what this game would be like if it developed more.
