Wow, this game is very ambitious! Love the subterranean styled lighting and aquatic colours as well as the tomb-like music that permeates the dungeon. While I feel like the music may have been a bit heavy when fighting these monsters (a bit of variety would have been fantastic) I really like the Poseidon Chamber music as it gave a nice reprieve for rest. Interesting gameplay with the idea of a damaging laser-styled weapon. It leads to some interesting tactical choices. I have one more minor niggle: I just wished there was a way to see what kind of damage I was doing to the monsters, either by seeing the damage of the beam or their health bar. Clever use of RPG levelling elements too! I feel it could have been simplified a little, but the fact that you guys were able to accomplish this in such a short amount of time is astounding. Great little game, loved it!

Slick. This is a super solid base. Hunting for shards post-shot gave me the perfect dose of tension that I look for when I play games. I called this a base because this should definitely not be a one-off. If you and your team keep developing this, you're going to have something special here.

A good idea executed well with a nice amount of polish, good job.

Finally, a game where I'm not dying in 3 seconds in the first 5 runs! :) Very nice difficulty curve, it's fairly forgiving in the beginning, just the way I like it. I love the art style and the atmosphere too! The controls are crisp, controlling the artifact is intuitive but still non-conventional... really nice job, folks!

This was really fun to play, the orb was a great mechanic and fit the one bullet theme perfectly. I also liked the upgrade fountain, although it would have been nice to be able to choose what to upgrade, it still added a nice aspect to the game. The only suggestion I have is the same as everyone else which is to display the enemy heath somehow.

 Great job guys, look forward to seeing your post-jam updates :)

I absolutely love this gameplay mechanic. It felt incredible when I realised you could activate and deactivate your beam at will. The relief I felt upon getting to the fountain was incredibly satisfying.

At times I felt that the beam had absolutely hit the enemies, but it seemed to not kill them. I feel that making the beam collision slightly more forgiving could help improve the game, it just felt off when what seemed to me like an absolute hit passed right through them.

All in all, nice game!

I really like how the orb works in this, it feels really good to shoot and use like a laser and is a very cool interpretation of one bullet. Maybe some UI stuff and feedback when dealing damage would help, but aside from that I'm a huge fan of this game.
