Thanks for playing! Yes, I agree, the balance in this game is atrocious. The excuse is...I ran outta time to playtest. :p
I literally shipped the game like 1 hour before the deadline. So to people who are gonna play this game you may experience the same thing as CruelGamer in that if you get a good map you'll have a good time, but if you don't it'll be Game Over pretty quickly. You could say it's old school rogue-like. I seriously don't expect to win anything with this, but I say you guys can give the game a try. I think it'll give you a good time for...20 minutes? Afterwards it's no man's land.
I'm thinking of making a non-contest version afterwards with proper balance.
Swing by our itch page or Discord to keep updated on the game. :)
