General:
-2MB.exe, well fuck me impressed

UI:
-the healthbar stuff looks out of place with the rest of the game
-let me look up the controls while in game, who can remember all that shit
-alt+enter restarts the game, what

Graphics:
-I don't like the gradient lighting
-great choice of colors otherwise

Gameplay:
-level generation is trash
-let me use WASD, this isn't 2005
-mechanics are trash, no tactics
-camera feels odd, but maybe I'd get used to it

Experienced all the game had within 30 seconds. You figured out the graphics, but still need to do the same for the rest of the game. Don't @ me.

Appreciate the feedback, but do you mind expanding these a little? I've developed both a little, but clearer feedback would be nice.

Said don't @ me.

levelgen - what you have is clearly babby's first "combine rectangles randomly", they lead nowhere, serve no purpose and filled with shit arbitrarily

mechanics - same shit, you just slapped in attack and defend and called it a day, there's no strategies to play around with, all enemies feel the same

I usually expand on something that can be improved in a way that might not be obvious. Literally any kind of improvement will drastically help the game because of how bad the mechanics and levelgen are. I'm shitting on these hard because I want the game improved -- even though the parts I mentioned are horrendous and make me drop the game 2 min in, the demo is well above what I expect from a DD demo.
