Awesome polished game. But I found a gamebraking bug: you can heal indefinitely without using mana by wearing the battlemage shield and wait (pressing B) while in the hat. Makes the item way overpowered and progression stupidly easy

Thanks for the feedback, bobamess.

We've identified the bug with the battlemage shield and it's slated for a fix in our upcoming update.

For all the latest on the patch progress, we’d love to see you on our Discord server!

Fantastic game that is a must have for the Playdate. I enjoyed every hour of my playthrough. My only regret is having 3 items missing from the list of equipment (but I found the secret room... Hooray!). Congrats again for your work!

Thanks, dolion! Really glad you enjoyed the game and that you found the secret room – that's no small feat!

Hoping those last few items will be yours soon. Keep an eye out for updates and feel free to join our Discord for more interaction with the team.

Your support is greatly appreciated!

bought this on Catalog a few days ago, but wanted to hop over here to tell you what an amazing job you did on this game! it looks and plays beautifully! can't wait to see what else you do with the system!

Hey letoli, huge thanks for your support and for taking the time to share your thoughts! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying our game and appreciate your kind words on its design and gameplay.

Thanks! <3

I found a (thing I would consider a) bug! It is very small. Most people would never see it, since the only reason to do this is when you find it for the first time, but if you switch from the kite shield to the golden shield while in a level (not the item select room), you drop back down to 10 health instead of staying at 13.

Also, when I set the options to allow pressing and holding to move, sometimes I'll go two spaces and right off an edge. Not sure what's happening there.

Oh, and it'd be nice if I could end a run from the menu or something, say if I realise I've grabbed the wrong gear or the start of a run went too badly.

Otherwise, I'm having a lot of fun with this. It's fairly different from the roguelikes I tend to play (dungeon crawl stone soup is the big one, and is entirely too much for the little playdate), but it's cute and does some interesting things. :3

Thanks a ton for bringing this to our attention! We're squashing that bug in our upcoming major update. ;)

We're looking to fine-tune the experience, so your input on movement options and run-ending is noted. 

We're glad you're having fun. Please, join us on Discord - we'd love your input as we continue to polish the game:

I'm a full time indie dev interested in remaking the game for steam/console/mobile

(+1)

 I don't know if it's possible, but I'd love to see this game on GameBoy. I realize that it's a strange choice, but I think it would really fits the console well and breathe new life into GB systems.

Check out Cave Noire on GB!

This is a fantastic modern love letter to Cavenoire! A game that is perfect for the Playdate, it has the pick up and play gameplay that works best on that platform. 

Ok someone help me out.  I have 1 more shield left to get in the Mines, but I haven't been able to find it 30 levels down.  I'm suspicious of some sparkling tiles, and I encountered a special room after falling in a pit which suggests that might be a solution, but I can't find anything that jumps out as having a shield.

Absolutely loved this, highly recommended to anyone with a playdate.

really really loving this game, have had some few crashes but still such a polished experience.  the soundtrack never leaves my head I would love to be able to stream it.  Also, maybe im missing an item... but for the spirit orb collection level.  I have 8 available spots but have to collect 9 orbs, and when i was trying the run i got a freeze, so i wasnt able to question the run furtherr.  am i missing something?


great game!

thanks!

Apologies for any crashes. We're aware of some memory issues on the real hardware in the higher levels. We're actively working on a future update that we hope will address these issues.

Concerning the orbs quest, if you find yourself with more orbs than available spots, fret not. "The smuggler," a character you might encounter in the sewers, can assist you...

She'll collect any extra orbs, transporting them back to town for you.

This way, you can lighten your inventory load and continue your quest smoothly. 😉

I think I hit the memory issue you're describing, the background for the room wouldn't load in. Only collision I found in the room were the walls. The visuals also never cleaned up, in a 3D game I'd describe it as a z-buffer error but only the player sprite and menu are available and any space they occupy on the screen isn't cleared if they move off that space or close the menu. Does this sound familiar?

Really wonderful little pocket roguelike, and definitely one of the best looking and sounding playdate games to date. I wish I had taken my time with it, because I couldn't put it down and ended up clearing the main objective over two days. But I really loved it and loved that it was bite-sized. It also breaks down into smaller chunks, so you could easily spread out smaller play sessions over a couple weeks.

I did encounter a couple of crashes, but none that really cost me much. 

Amazing work! I'd love to be able to grab the soundtrack somewhere.

Thanks for the kind words!

Regarding the soundtrack, we're actively working on making it available separately. Stay tuned for updates—we'll be sharing more details soon...

I'm enjoying this game but the lack of a direction sprite for the player feels kinda tacky to me, the vibe would be vasty improved by a directional sprite with a real walking animation for the player

Nasties can stay how they

I had a the freeze happen as well.  I lost my level 5 run :C



Thank you for reporting this. We're actively addressing the freezing issue and appreciate your patience!

Very much enjoying the game :)  I am however having freezes usually when i get greater then ~10 levels deep. It usually is when i pickup an item the character will freeze in the picking up animation.  Thanks form making a great game, hoping for an update soon. 

We're happy to know you're enjoying the game! :)

Apologies for the freezes; we're actively working on an update to fix this.

Your support is appreciated. If you have more feedback, please feel free to share.

Happy gaming! 

Truly one of the best playdate games out there. Clearly heavily inspired by Cave Noir on the gameboy, which is a perfect kinda game for the playdate. Since it came out It's been by far my most played game on the system. The polish is incredible. I haven't had any bugs - I'm up to level 8 in the dungeons. Really, everyone with playdate should own this game.

Thanks for your kind words!

What an beautiful looking and fun game! I purchased it on catalog and am enjoying it thoroughly. However, I am also unfortunately here to report a lot of crashing. It usually happens when I have unlocked the exit but am looking for a little extra credit loot. I've lost the things I've collected and had to restart missions on multiple occasions..

If you're fixing bugs/things it would be awesome to have an "exit dungeon" selection from the main menu. Overall, I'm looking forward to playing this much more soon!

Also, I wanted to mention that when I trick the undead mages (or whatever they're called) into hitting other enemies with magic I'm noticing a heavy lag after the hit. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the crashing but I thought I'd let you know about that as well.

Good idea, a way to exit the current run would definitely help with the current bugs

I've had no crashes - though I've only gotten to level 8 so maybe you've gotten further than me

Yeah after I commented I was in a deep dungeon run again and it happened. Most of the time my screen would go black, I could hear the music but couldn’t do anything else. That last time physically crashed my playdate to reset itself with the error page. I truly enjoy this game but won’t be playing it until I feel safe to progress again. 

they start at around level 10

Great game (bought it on Catalog), but DAMN there are many bugs…


the last 5 runs crashed/freezed and i lost about 2h in total..

(+2)

Hey! glad you like it and sorry to hear that! We are finding that most people in not experiencing bugs and some others seem to have a lot! In any case we are preparing a big update with fixes for all of them. Thanks for the support and patience!

Maybe it‘s because I have a Rev B Playdate?


The bugs start around level 10 of each dungeon -> so it‘s more an endgame problem (I want to get all weapons/shields)..
