I like the general idea, but the left mouse attack felt a bit weird at first.
Great idea with doors and stats luck nad balancing the game otherwise :)

How does your game fit the theme?
The main Goal is to open a Door but most important all the upgrades through the roguelike are obtained through oppenings doors as well !
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes we did all assets from scratch ! :D

The game is well balanced, the artstyle is very good, and the music is bopping! Few things, the RMB attack is probably too weak for what its cooldown is. Other than that great game!

Handy TalkerGood job, I was able to make it but really really close, so it was good balanced or maybe I was just lucky with my choices. Cool atmosphere and skeleton.

Doors Defend DoorI don't fully get the probability system and just end up getting swarmed by enemies but I like the concept of having the player choose which doors to have.

Jam on toast: DimensionsHi ! Thanks for your feedback :), the idea was that the blue door has a high chance of giving you a small bonus, but the red door as a low chance to give you a high bonus, so depending of your gameplay (safe or risky) you can "gamble" what you get. There's also the fact that if you open one door the ennemies only come out of one gate, thus making it easier to kill them.
This was super cool! I loved the idea of making a roguelike, it's one of my favorite genres! Spending keys after you die for that edge, but at the same time losing points is tough decision, which is great. The idea of using doors that you can open with probabilities of rewards and losses is really well thought. It was a thrill to open them.
I like the art style as well. In my opinion is has an old game style of art and I really like it. amazing you could do all that!
I do think that adding some sort of dash would be great for the gameplay, as it would give you the option to dodge and maneuver a little bit more. Also the enemies were great, but a little more variation would have spiced things up. Maybe some tougher enemies that spawn in the higher waves. Maybe some are ranged for example!
It might not be a bug, but I did notice that slimes would sometimes hit me once and then kinda stick to me but without making more damage, like they only stay besides me.
Overall, really great experience!!!

What's behind the door?First off thanks for your long feedback, it means a lot and is really helpfull :)
A dash would have been indeed a good idea !
I think the bug is due to the slime being faster than the player and the attack cooldown being reloading, i thought about changing the slime movement so it only jumps and doesn't slide like it currently does, it would make the dash ability way more important as well...
I'm very glad you enjoyed the game, means a lot, have a nice one :)
I liked the mechanics of rebirths and the visuals. It was fun to play!
