Judge feedback

• "The game is mostly functional and has some nice 3D art, but it feels shallow. I don't like that the game crashes on death. I think one of the limiting factors for this game is how repetitive it is. For upgrades to feel meaningful, the gameplay must evolve in some way. The dungeon generation tool has potential, but the issue is that there is only one action to do in the dungeon: kill mimics. If there was some gameplay variety (e.g. different enemies, rewards, puzzles, shrines, anything really), the generated dungeons would feel more distinct. The game needs another layer of complexity. It needs context behind the player's actions (why am I killing mimics in a dungeon, to what end?). Other niggles include a mismatch between the sword's visible range and its actual hitbox, the enemy AI deciding to turn around at random points feels strange and lack of clarity between the effects of Health vs Armor." --- "Solid execution of classic dungeon crawler mechanics with procedural generation and proper upgrade progression loops. The core ""dive deeper, get stronger"" cycle works as intended and the random level generation adds replayability. However, the game lacks action feedback elements like hit reactions, that would make combat feel more satisfying. The feedback loop theme is implemented through the standard roguelike progression system of collecting resources to enable deeper exploration. For a solo developer, this demonstrates good technical execution and scope management. The foundation is strong enough for expansion, but would benefit from more juice and polish to enhance the combat feel. This game has a cute and consistent art style, and the gameplay loop is easily understood. The biggest flaw is that the game has no sound, and as a result feels unfinished. So many opportunities to elevate the visuals and gameplay are completely missed. There can be no sense of polish without at least some audio to contribute to player feedback and immersion, and build on the mood and aesthetics already present in the visuals and gameplay. Similarly, haviung to Alt Tab out of the game to close it, then relaunch the game every time the player dies is a major inconvenience, and a restart or back to menu button would be a great improvement."
