Hey, neat little game, congrats on making a functioning random dungeon generator! Like others have said, the enemies are a bit repetitive and aren't particularly interesting (perhaps they could shoot projectiles or move in some interesting way?) Shame that I couldn't seem the boss or ending...

As for other feedback, I'd say that the fire rate was a bit slow, especially since each enemy took two hits to kill. Also, the way the camera lagged behind the player made it hard to see what was ahead of you. The rooms could have been a bit more interesting, perhaps there could be some traps or hazards, or maybe different rooms could be different shapes? If there was to be more variation, you could make bigger, more interesting dungeons that could be fun for even longer!

So good job with your game, I particularly liked the animations of the player and the different particles used for hitting enemies. I'd say that with a bit more variety, this could be a really cool dungeon crawler!

EDIT: 
Was just thinking about my final remark of 'this could be a really great dungeon crawler', and I just want to add that if you do develop this further, see if you can find ways to innovate. The dungeon crawler genre / roguelite has been done a lot, so perhaps try finding interesting mechanics to differentiate yourself from others, whether that be an interesting way to attack enemies, interesting bosses, traps or anything else that can freshen the genre. imo, the best way to engage players is with fresh and interesting gameplay, so please keep experimenting!

Neat.  I think the shooting is a bit short, and the enemies are a bit too simple, but I like the maze aspects, and your graphics look great.

Nice game. I really like the AI of the spiders and the graphics. Te first room had a lot of spiders! It would be cool if the spiders were invisible until they come into light. Good work ;)

Very nice art style. I think some powerups would improve the gameplay :)

I like  the  art style very much.  I am sure you know that adding different enemies and some powerups would improve the game drastically.  And also I was quite disapointed when I went through the whole dungeon, killed all enemies and nothing happend...

hey Kubak thabk you for your time to review the game, i had limited time this week due to unespected  issues at work :( that made me strip a lot of the original plan, you also made me discover that I broke the boss entry script that's why you didn't saw anything at the end T.T

Super neat looking game! Expanding on this artstyle could really take you somewhere.
