Nice entry!

I just have some comments/suggestions about the game:

- There are some performance issues because I got some FPS drops in the game. My PC is not that good but it managed to run perfectly this another entry (https://itch.io/jam/lowrezjam-2018/rate/293403);

- The HUD could be a bit more compact. You're using 8px of height for HP and MP stats, you can do it in a better way using only 4px. This will adjust the contrast between HP/MP and the weapon icon. Also, the HUD will look better on the top of the screen because it is currently hiding the sword;

- There are some issues navigating menus, especially in the inventory menu. There's a bug preventing the buttons from being focused.

-It runs fine on my PC with a lower end graphics card, but I'm going to chalk that up to Unity and the roundabout way I had to get it to run at true 64 64. It wouldn't surprise me if Unity was eating FPS for some people. I have said this in the Discord, but one thing I'd do differently next time for LowRezJam is to use something other than Unity for this kind of low resolution project.
-I'll try to do the UI more nicely next time. I'm not used to working on such a small space.
-Thanks for letting me know. I'll see if I can implement a bug fix. (Bug is now fixed. Surprise! It was a Unity problem.)

Hm, maybe this is some issue with Intel onboard video card. Mine is an Intel HD Graphics 400. Also, I'm on Windows 10.
