Wow. What an entry! Usually I list everything I liked, but I think I'd be here for a while! Amazing game; if this was on steam for a few bucks I wouldn't bat an eye. Its very very well made. I had a few (very minor) suggestions:
- I found myself swapping items a lot to see if they'd improve my character's build or not. It would be nice to have some way of seeing the difference between 2 items without manually switching between them (e.g., some pluses and minuses next to the current stats that appear when hovering over a new item)
- After a while I ran out of inventory space and I don't think the things I was picking up were available for me to use anymore, and I didn't see a way of throwing away items from my inventory to clear up space
- IMO the "GO" and "open door" buttons are off-by-one at the end of each level: you press "open door" to go up to but not through the door, but then "GO" to actually pass through the door (this is the most tiny nitpick ever, but it took me a tad to understand which button to press). TBH you could just use one button
- The shield button isn't in the manual (I assume its +50 defence?)
I managed to get through 15 battles before my brethren fell :( This is one of the best game jam games I've ever played! I love it. I would be super excited to see where this project goes!
