I really like it
Oh thanks I really appreciate that you like this game
Nice! I really loved the music, it was epic! I also really liked the sprites - you did a good job on them, especially the player's sprite. I did have some issues with the salesman though. I had to walk away and then run into them again in order to see the next message, and I don't think it let me purchase anything despite having enough coins. Also, a sound effect would be nice to indicate that I'm being hurt by or causing damage to an enemy. There were several times at first that I didn't notice that I was getting hurt. Other than that though I liked the game. Well done!
Thanks for the feedback on the game. Glad you played it and liked some parts of the game.
P.S.
I will think about how to improve gameplay. And maybe I will also improve the idea.
In any case, I am very pleased that you played it)
Great Music! Also impressive to make a rougelike in just 3 days! Fun overall, but I think some polish would make it amazing! For example I think some sound effects for walking or getting hurt would be cool. I think it especially needs some feedback about when the player is getting hurt. Anyways really good for a 72hr game jam submission! Good job!

I like the way this game looks, the cute character, the good enemies, the cool VHS effect, the atmospheric music, but there's still a lot to work on. For example, for some reason I was stuck in the walls, there is still enough light to see the enemies in the dark and it is not quite clear where to go. Anyway, you're doing great

Interesting idea! but could use some player onboarding and tutorial on what the goal is. I also found the player movement too sudden and a bit hard on the eyes. The art and the style are very cool!
Good job!
Cool mechanics! Very interesting !
Thanks for the feedback. Thanks for playing and glad that you liked it.
I liked the effects and atmosphere! The character was a bit offset though but thats not really a problem.
Thanks for the feedback and for sharing your experience. It’s very important to me.
It's confusing at first, and then it's just less confusing. But the idea is interesting
Not entirely sure what the goal is (besides getting a bigger score?) Nor how it fits the theme. I also don't get what the hearts are about vs the hp thing and the in game buttons felt unresponsive, pretty sure there have been times where it didn't recognize me clicking and also times where it felt that I clicked through something because of that.
There are also a few bugs, managed to get -10 coins somehow (happened after I clicked through something) and there was a point where I couldn't walk through what appeared to be a normal path and trying somehow killed me.
The controls felt a bit janky to me, but the turn-based feel was interesting. I think if you keep going with this you could make a great game out of it!
Confusing. The art style is cool and the music is refreshing, but I didn't know what to do. Maybe a short tutorial? Also nice procedural generation
The grid based controls feels super great!
This was a really unique game! I really enjoyed it! The art and music are fantastic, and the movement is quite unique! Quite a refreshing experience if you ask me! It's extremely impressive how you've made procedural generation in such a small time frame, you don't see this every day! The only bug I ran into was buying since coins didn't really matter since the counter went to negatives. In my playthrough enemies would kill me really fast and a didn't really know how to kill them, so I would suggest adding a small tutorial.
Overall, I really enjoyed this unique experience!
Great Job, man!
Well, it has a fair share of bugs but really nice game tbh. WELL DONE!
Really ambitious game and I think you nailed the hardest part which was level generation. I'd like to come back to look at it if you ever publish an updated version. Nice submission bud!
Control quite annoying when you update instanly position and camera start to jump straight to that spot, try use the lerp function to smooth the movement ;)
Rate my game as well
I wish I could see more of the surrounding area to appreciate your randomized maps, but I do like that it feels like you're lost in a labyrinth with it being so dark. I find myself hugging the walls in every room to help guide me places.
I didn't really get the increased health situation, it seemed like it would swap between starting with 6 health, to starting with 3 health, to starting with 8 health. I never went over 8.
Great Game and Nice Visuals. Love the old tv effects with limited visuals, great ambience too
Well Done!
This is super cool. My favorite thing is definitely the (randomly selected?) music. The visuals are also very well done and appealing. I couldn't tell I was attacking at first but excellent presentation!!

This is a nice game, I think it lacks motivation for the player to do something. I just farmed death at the beginning to get hp and than explored. There isn't much point to just running around blind wil not a lot of hp.
Well done!
