First of all, great job with the game. It is fun and interesting.
Balance Recommendation: Nearly every item could use a retool downward as power gain easily spirals out of control.
Power combos like bat + baguette can be dramatically improved simply by reducing baguette damage. Like, literally, it can deal 1 damage per baguette and still be competently powerful.
With that said, I'll do a playthrough with per relic recommendations.
*pirate hook* - This is fine as is. *amm_bush* - This can be devastating when applied to dynamite boy. Drop this down to 2 and it'll be still useful, but much less likely to screen clear on entry. *lance* - This is a single-target single use item per room. Sure the player can do a leave-enter spam; but this is usually a "eh, it's free" pick up for me. *magic hat* - oh, one of the most absurdly powerful items in the game... if there was enough keys to take advantage of it (see below) *happy heart* - I would either scrap this or buff this. apples are abundant and serve the purpose well. As a relic, I'd say a better move is to move this as a multiplier. Say +15% health instead of +8. *friendly soul* - This one is honestly fine. *rusty sword* - Reasonably balanced and fair. No complaints. *big pocket* - Oh, boy, this stacks with magic hat... 20% is fine. There's honestly not much of an issue here, but it can get glorious diving 5 chests deep into a monster. *water bottle* - Baguette combo! This can honestly lead to humorous death-on-enter issues. Looking at it, I would've figured it be a heat reduction mechanic which is what I would recommend instead. 20% chance to not increase heat when moving rooms. Make it stack multiplicatively so it approaches but never hits 100%. *magic feather* reduce this to 1 damage and it's perfect. *glasses* I actually recommend a major change on these. Change this to +20% chance to find keys on monsters and chests. This pays dividends when it comes to big pocket and magic hat and allows absurd builds to flourish. *baguette knife* Oh jeez, this is where the big problem arises, on heal is a guaranteed effect with bat, and it does 5 damage? Reduce this to 1 and it'll actually be balanced and still worth having.
Recommended items to add: *Silver Coin* - +15% chance to find a shop in a room (adds a new room as a shop) *Silver Tongue* - reduce shop price by 10% (multiplicative). 10 of this relic reduces shop prices to 34%. (0.9 ^ 10) *Key Chain* - 20% chance to not lose a key when opening a chest *Flaming strike* - while overheating, you deal +1 damage. *Disco Inferno* - When you take overheating damage, you have a 5% chance to increase your maximum heat by 1.
Thank you so much for your feedback! Your ideas for reworks and new items are really cool! I might have to borrow some of them if I ever update this game further ;) (currently working on other game that I am planning to release on steam)
Really like the idea and the artwork has a sweet feel. I didn't finish all floors since it felt a bit too easy after a while, a higher difficulty would have made it more engaging.
This is cut off on both the left and right sides when played on a 16:10 aspect ratio display with a 1920 by 1200 resolution. I can’t see everything even though I have more vertical space on my display than needed.
Really well done!
In the beginning i was a bit confused but you quickly figure out how to play and then it is so much fun. The tutorial could be improved a little, but its a game jam game so i don’t blame you for that.
Overall really fun, great idea - great game
Hey Ravernt! I'm Joel, a writer for Game Developer! My editors and I would like to do an interview with your about Folder Dungeon for the site. If you're interested in that, could you contact me at joel(dot)indiegames at gmail? You can also ping me on twitter: @Joel_Couture.
From my playthrough, it increases each time you move. To reduce, eat some ice cream. You can get hot flame to increase max threshold by 12; and get lemons to buff ice cream.
angry_bat + baguette_knife is pretty OP. If you have a fe lemons as well and pirate_hooks then you can just wander freely and not worry about overheating.
Liked how short yet entertaining the game is. I also liked the game's art style, concept, and mechanics...though I found what it seems to be a bug while playing, being that (one time) the previous music track is still playing even after playing again (not on the video). (Still) Enjoyed the game overall!
really fun and unique. an idea, you could have an enemy type whose corpse has a chance to have more enemies inside like maggots or something. great game.
Whao ! What a pretty pretty nice game ! i really like it ! Nothing else to say, I'm sorry :p Fortunately we have a way to mark folder ! Cool and simple game play, nice music and sprites, very cool ! I want more !

Loved it! I really like the idea of making a computer’s file system into a dungeon.
I love the style of the game, and it was super satisfying to play! Great work!
This game was amazing, but too easy.
Love the style of this a lot. Gameplay is also sooooo fun! Keep it up!
A really good game. I have never thought this kind of game is possible and it is so amazing to see it has finally implemented.
This was really fun to play! Thank you for making it!
Ooooooh I love that game ! Thank you for making that game !!!
very nice
nice
this is really fun
now thats a game, soo cool.
Ahhh!! this is so cool!! I really enjoyed this! Downloading, and when I can, will donate!
very cool game & concept :D loved getting lost in folders
Amazing idea! Really good game!
wow, amazing idea. will you make it a full game from this?
Really like the idea and the artwork has a sweet feel. I didn't finish all floors since it felt a bit too easy after a while, a higher difficulty would have made it more engaging.
Nice!

Pretty fun. This wasn't what I was expecting for a roguelike RPG.
Really well done! In the beginning i was a bit confused but you quickly figure out how to play and then it is so much fun. The tutorial could be improved a little, but its a game jam game so i don’t blame you for that. Overall really fun, great idea - great game
It would be better if the folders i didnt' enter had different visual. Like windows folders you can see the contents from Icon
I made a video on your game (12:50)

EZ
i have no idea how to prevent overheating but good gamke
From my playthrough, it increases each time you move. To reduce, eat some ice cream. You can get hot flame to increase max threshold by 12; and get lemons to buff ice cream.
sorry you other enemies, please hang on while i am just off for a bit into this corpse. ;-)
that was fun. when you have 7 levels of chests in chests you know there is some serious magic going on. music duplicates when you start over.
What a cool experience, I liked it and the art style is very aesthetic:3
Made a video
angry_bat + baguette_knife is pretty OP. If you have a fe lemons as well and pirate_hooks then you can just wander freely and not worry about overheating.
It's a cool game but needs to be balanced a bit better and made harder
reall cool
