This was fun! I nice tight concept. I see people saying they thought the enemies had too much health, but you run faster and jump higher than the enemies do, plus you have infinite ammo, so you just have to kite them for a few seconds and it's fine. I was kind of hoping I could pick up the wizard's staff at the end for an upgrade, that would be a cool drop!  I liked everything here, but I'm left wishing it looked a little bit more hell-ish. Maybe a little more fire and brimstone to spice up spooky evil cave land? In any case, I really enjoyed it!

Just tried this out! Lots of cool stuff here (dialogue boxes, wall sliding, an upgrade system). The pixel art was nice! I did notice that the 'options' menu seemed to open automatically when starting the game, when maybe it should be hidden at first. like others have said, some of the enemies have a bit too much health, or are a little too similar in their approach (All three bosses could be beaten with the approach of 'shoot in their direction, and jump over if they get too close), but I do appreciate things like the third boss getting a fireball attack that will 'soak' a gunshot, and that there were some changes to the arena for it. Great job!

Great concept/hook. I felt like the enemies had way too much health for a combat system this simple. I'd love to see the character controller with more game feel tuning. Horizontal movement faster than vertical feels off.

The +

the gun is funny

there is a boss, nice that the necromanician regenerates and we can take advantage of it

The -

- the flag pole is the same color as the bottom of the cave

- you can kill the magician at his position right above him

- the doors, except the main one, have problems : red doesn't work and exit crashes the game

nice little game, I freed the cat, im' a nice person now <3

Developer

glad you freed the cat :D the wipe save door should work, you just go to it, click E, and when you start it should be reset. And quit door is mainly for the downloadable version

Cute little game, not much to say about it. I think the character is too fast though. Oh and the boss room resets if you go to the right side.

Developer

heard it is too fast, but I'm not sure why it resets when you walk to the right, I thought I fixed it :/

yay i saved the cat! Short and sweet. I had nowhere near enough gold for the shop upgrades though, and then the game was over! Would have been cool to just get them as free upgrades so I could try them out for the boss fight!

that is a good idea, I will add it if im still in the grace periode

Nice little game, enjoyed playing :)

Very cool art and i really liked the ambiance. But the character is kinda too fast i think.

Hello,

This game, within its simplicity and linearity, it was just very well executed. I understand that you did it alone in 3 weeks and you can be proud of it. It looks like a proof of concept of yours. I can see your thinking process behind it and you can consider it a sucessful game for you.

I just had a blast playing it. Would love to play more. The Benny Hill moments against the enemies are just fun. I like you clearly stating that controller is not supported. Appreciated detail. This way I avoid spending time trying it.

Congratulations!

Cheers

PS: don't hesitate to try and finish our game :)

Fun time. There's nothing much else to comment honestly, this is kinda too simple, I'm sorry :,3

It's cute tho, but not really a metroidvania since it's very linear, and I think it's literally impossible to buy the Uzi sadly. (Edit: ok it is possible, you just have to skip the revolver for it)

Anyway gameplay vid (Altought I don't talk like the other guy did lol, too shy for that)

Thanks for playing! Glad you had fun, it might be a little simple because it is my first metroidvania.

Going to the depths of hell to find you cat is completely understandable. Simple, but nice game. Great work! :)

A pretty cute short game. Funny smol guy is determined to go to hell and back with a GUN despite everyone’s warnings. I kinda wished that the layout for the sections with enemies aren’t just straight lines.
