wow, quite a lot of systems to explore for a 7drl! impressive job! the big standout to me was the top-notch ui/aesthetics in general. mouse controls looked and felt amazing, which is a lot to say for these types of games (although i noticed i could not push the boulder with the mouse). i did really enjoy the dynamic puzzles too, even though they were quite simple it just really opens up in my mind a realm of possibilities of adventure mechanics which could be incorporated more in traditional RLs. i have not yet beat it, but hope to come back to this and complete it.

Just like last year, your entry has juicy combat that makes smacking things to death really satisfying. The flavor text and theming for the dungeons is fun and classically themed. There’s definitely a few bugs- I was able to sell items without them leaving inventory, and “equip” items for a permanent stat boost glitch.

Some stuff that stood out to me: overworld, the click to navigate, shaders/glowy effects on stuff, the damage types + enemy resistances + quick switch inventory - all felt polished, balanced, and interesting.

Some wishes: keyboard controls to use the menus, right-click to tooltip, move the levelup menu so I don’t accidentally click a random upgrade while in a crowded room.

Quite an excellent week’s work
