really cool! the map tech is wild. and the trick to display the HUD hearts it clever – I’ll have to remember that.

Glad you're enjoying it. You're actually the second person who's written about being confused by my little bug-doubling-as-a-feature. Guess that's what I get for not having any play testers. I'm working on a fix, and I explain what's going on here:

Also, you mentioned the dungeon, did you figure it out, or were you stuck there?
Yeah, the dungeon does rely pretty heavily on trial-and-error since there wasn't space for complex mechanics, and storing two copies of one sprite and using tile properties was cheap. The entire map is shown for a frame at startup when it's being drawn, so your cheating isn't entirely unprecedented. Glad you had fun, and thanks for the feedback!
