I'm a bit overwhelmed, Is there a main goal one can achieve? The mayor has nothing to say and I don't know whether the second floor of the dungeon is meant to be accessible and I'm too dumb to figure out how or if it's not accessible.
The base is super solid either way, I love these very detailed environments with plenty of characters offering dialogs, the movement is perfect, it feels very good and the gunplay is satisfying with the caveat that the enemies, even when they react in the arena, are not much of a threat.
Also I think the game 100% meets the jam requirement, they've been some cool games with bullets not following the grids during the previous years such as these 2 ones :
- https://mahoushoujomagicalmoestar.itch.io/labyrinth-io
- https://apoly.itch.io/tomb-of-aeon
It definitely doesn't violate the rules and I don't think it violates the spirit of the jam either.
I think it's more common to turn around with QE and strafe with AD than the opposite way.
