I like the old school retro feel of the whole thing. Seems a bit bare, but some immediate feedback:
- Pressing F to advance dialogue doesn't close it when you've gone through the whole thing. It just sorta stays until you walk two tiles away, for some reason.
- Overall, the game felt clunky because the game both wants everything done via keyboard and other times everything with the mouse. Like doing inventory management can only be done with the mouse (unless I'm missing a way to have a cursor or the Equip shortcut), but then moving around on the map and interactions require keyboard.
- The player should really start with a weapon equipped, or a tutorial to equip it. Had to throw rocks at a wolf and nearly died.
- I liked that equipping items gave combat abilities.
- But I somehow ended up with two identical Slam attacks?
- I hated not being able to flee without shoes (like in the first fight I had with no weapons), but then it made sense that yeah, I'd need an upgrade to perform that action. Maybe it would be better to have a weak pitiful Flee by default but a useful Retreat if you have shoes?
- The Bandit Adept dealt 14.0 damage, not 14.
- The screenshots show a controls layout/screen but I could not find it in-game.
- The sword rusting away as you lose HP is cool! I'd rather that than the Diablo/PoE red and blue spheres.
- I did the Tool Collector quest and this is purely speculation but I think I got the Bear Tooth from it? I noticed it in my inventory some time later. It would be cool if it was a quest reward to be like "Here's your reward!"
