I think the other posters are smarter than me - I'm 4 runs in and I haven't figured out how to get past the green guy with a sword and shield. So I'm posting my progress here and when I figure it out I'll post more. So far a great game, I think the very puzzle like design is perfect for a jam game. Also I'm very engaged with it. Like, I don't want to quit I want to figure it out and that's a really good sign IMO.
Okay I went back immediately - it took something like 6 runs before I found the first health potion. Lol. When I first saw a sword I thought "you're putting it in a cage where I cannot reach it because you're trolling me, curse you!" and then 30 seconds later I had a sword and I was very happy.
Thank you for making the doors permanently destroy themselves and for making turning not cost a turn. Very good design decisions. The smooth turning and movement all felt really good. Also the length was exactly rat for a jam game.
I have now been reunited with my one and only love Miranda and I am really feeling good about this game. Well done!
