This is so fun, cool & unique concept. A bit too hard, haven't made to the 50th floor yet, but I'll keep trying!
Is it procedurally generated? Coz sometimes I get impossible level not even above 10th floor. Maybe you can make it so the level still "feel" possible to complete. I say that but I have no idea how can I implement that myself hehe, awesome job!
I'm glad you had a good time with it! Thanks for the feedback; I don't think anyone's made it to the fabled 50th floor yet, so it's mysteries will remain guarded!
The levels are completely randomly filled, containing enemies and obstacles up to a number decided by your current Difficulty, so you've gotta use the Reroll to keep your Difficulty down, which also restocks all your abilities to help you get through a tricky floor. I may need to implement a minimum roll to prevent someone from being unfairly stuck with all 1's on their stats and not being able to save themselves!
Great work. I really enjoyed playing. The special moves feel really valuable. Will definitely play again
It felt very good to outmanoeuvre the skulls. The amount of text on screen at one time and where it is placed can be a little overwhelming and makes your game hard to read. But overall, very cool entry, nice work!
I might actually play this a little more later. It's has lots of replay value and each and every playthrough is unique and challenging.
This was a creative and interesting idea! I very much so enjoyed it! It was fun and interesting! I didn't understand what the sneaking was but other than that the ideas on how to move were cool and interesting! it was overall a very good fun experience! cant wait to see what you do next!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback!
Your Stealth stat just determines when enemies activate and start chasing you; on a 1, they'll chase you from six-tiles away, while on a 6, they won't move until you're next to them.
Definitely need to add some clearer communication on what each of the five stats do; high on my 'next priority' list for sure!
Couldn't figure out how to play. Half the screen was cut off, because I use a laptop :( It seems like it would be really fun, though. Good job :)
Fun game!
It's nice to see procedurally generated puzzles that work well.
Fun puzzle game :3
might need to rise the music and sound effects volume :D
well made !
Really good game ! I loved the different powers ! That seems like a strong foundation for a game to build upon, with better art, more diverse enemies, powerups, etc.
The generator can spawn some brutally unfair levels sometimes. :D
Stealth 6 is not that good since you can’t awaken enemies to lure them out. Maybe don’t make the enemies move during the turn they are awoken to balance things out ?
Thanks so much for the feedback! Delighted to hear you enjoyed it :D
Yeh, I'm thinking about pushing this one a little further and seeing what I can do with it.
Not a bad idea, this would definitely feel better to the player, more "Oops, I woke them up, better run" rather than "Oops, I woke them up, am dead." :P
Thanks so much for the feedback!
Agreed, crafted levels would have nailed the feel I was going for better. I could at least alleviate the issue by tweaking the random generation to ensure more consistency, but with extra time I'd like to move it over to a pool of structured levels at each difficulty to pull from.
Had a really fun time trying to puzzle my way out of tough spots. Though only made it to level 11. I liked all the different skills and found all of them useful - stealth seemed pretty powerful in the early levels but that didn't seem to matter as much once the board was filled. I didn't understand what benefit a high Magic ability gave, it seemed to always be 1 teleport. Would like to play more.
Great to hear, I'm delighted you enjoyed it!
Balancing the abilities was a real pain, and Stealth was my biggest concern (a stealth roll of six will normally get you a few levels.)
I think I need to communicate Magic's effect better; the higher the roll, the more options you get with your one teleport (one location with 1,2, two locations with 3,4, and three locations with 5,6.)
