I absolutely love retro games and retro-styled games alike! This was a great game that was a lot of fun to play. The psuedo 3d was done nicely and the gameplay was good. I would appreciate some more strategy, even a basic rock paper scissor (type advantage like pokemon) could fit well into this adding more strategy and fun in my opinion. However, it was still regardless a great entry to the jam. I really liked the humor, such as bumping into a wall and some "OW" text popped up. Also, I think there was a bug when you battled a spider for instance and after the battle if you pressed W again, you would encounter another enemy all the time if you continued pressing W after each battle making it super easy to level up and such. But the game was great and I even saved it to my collection because it's cool. Good job!
