Verrrrrry addictive XD. I liked the buffs/options you can save up for. The fighting mechanic was clever.
I made it to the crystal caves yay.

I almost couldn't stop playing. I loved the art too!

Really liked the concept, feel like a more generalized backpack hero that encompasses a lot more systems, alongside a match 3 game, and Tetris.

Loved the artstyle, along with the music. Gameplay was fun and intuitive and easily addictive, Could play for hours.
Well Done!
Edit: Noticed  you could technically power farm level 1 over and over relatively quickly, so, personally I suggest disabling Retiring on wave 1 .

Feels polished and fun, surprisingly intuitive. Love the music!

A little hard to figure out at the start, but absolutely great once you have the hang of it and feels very rewarding! Great job

• Very polished feature rich game. I feel it could benefit from general hints and tooltips.

• Then again, perhaps this game is stylistically tailored towards those who enjoy a frustrating experience where you figure it out through trial and error. 
  • I found it quite frustrating and I feel it might lose some people due to this. 
  • I think the game could benefit from some hints after a certain number of deaths in the early waves of The Mines, eg. try retiring early to save up cash for the perks.
• I didn't realize  the list of things next to the levels were perks and that the number next to them was the resource cost to unlock.
  •  I also did not realize that you have to click the number to buy the perk. 
• I found the loop of farming the first stages of The mines to unlock perks feels a bit grindy.

•  For me it was impossible to progress beyond wave 3 without unlocking a 3rd layer to stack in.

  
  

  • An idea would be to introduce some of the power-ups in the early stages when the game is more difficult to have a less steep early difficulty curve.
  •  It was also not obvious to me how some of the power-ups worked so tooltips would help here as well. 

• I feel that the music in this type of game(in the first level) could benefit from more variety or a random selection from a pool of tracks, to avoid a feeling of repetitiveness and listening fatigue. This is because you spend a long time grinding in each level which already adds a lot of friction for the player so the music variety could be used to release or reduce some of this. 

• I think this game has a lot of potential and the visuals are great. I just struggled a bit with the early game balance 

Edit:

• Played level 2 and enjoyed it a lot more. I feel the attack 2 ahead or  range3 are the most powerful as they allow you to not drop hearts while dropping resources thus get further. This disincentivized me from picking other power-up.

• The shield feels weak as it only blocks 1 hit. The extra damage paired with the  attack 2 ahead and the range3 on its own, actually allowed me to clear the second level twice.

• The music in this level felt more like something I could listen to for longer periods.

Edit2:

• In my opinion the range3 is by far the most powerful and might be a bit too so. I managed to get to wave 36 on level 3 with ease. As long as you don't make a mistake I think you can keep going without dropping a single heart.

• Overall I would say once you add the power-ups it's pretty fun, the beginning is just a bit rough. This might be because I initially played it at a pit of a slower pace, trying to think my way through. The art is quite lovely and I came to appreciate it especially in the golem design the more I played.

Lovely use of minimal art and simple mechanics to build a compelling and engaging mechanic and interactive experience that easily enthralled me for a long time!

I found it hard to understand how much health I had (or had left) at any time, even long after understanding the rest of the game pretty well. This part wasn’t as much of an issue after you figure out the “rhythm” of each mine monster (guardian?).

The power-ups are fun, though I felt like it would be interesting for certain enemies to also have distance attacks as part of the complexity.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this!⛏️

I really love the idea! Great job!

Very compelling gameplay loop in the same vein as Crypt of the Necrodancer which made me keep playing and enjoy it throughout. I think the upgrades are really well done.

I do think that the death system might benefit from being explained within the game itself.  I figured it out eventually but it took a while.

Great concept and executed gracefully! Took me a few go's but I eventually got it.

Really good idea with a lot of potential, balance is off but was really fun.

The grid is such a clever mechanic for handling both resources and health. The power-ups added some interesting choices and prevented the runs from getting stale quickly. 

Great entry!

It took me a lot of deaths to fully understand the mechaics but once I got a grasp it felt fun to play but still pretty challenging and requires alot of thinking, which is good!

Fun addicting game, understood the game pretty quickly once i stopped rushing into anything that moves XD

Such a cute concept! Quite challenging gameplay as well

Very nice game, struggled to understand the mechanics at first but it's actually rather intuitive.

Interesting concept struggled to get farther than the 3rd round, but had fun none the less! really cute design

This game reminds me of the bard mode of crypt of the necromancer mixed with a match 3 lol

Great art work.

Could see this working as a fun mobile game

Great job
