No, I wasn't following the directions. Entirely my own fault, I didn't even realize the arrow glyphs were the directions to get through the maze. I'm going to blame attempting the game before I had my morning coffee.
I tried it properly now, and succeeded in getting all three things. Thanks for helping, I was clearly being dense.
I tried your game here on the itch.io page. I found it frustrating that there are rooms on the grid that, when I entered, would immediately collapse, killing me under the rubble. It isn't that I mind environmental hazards, but there is nothing at all (that I could see or hear, at least) that indicated to me that a room might be unsafe. It feels "not fair," in a rogue-like/NetHack sense.
I do love the graphics. I'll check back on the game soon.
I loaded this onto a Nintendo 3DS and played through the entire thing. I love your character design, and the first time I entered the "underworld" was a great surprise. I'll look forward to the complete game coming out.
My first party was wiped out by a single snake on Level 1 or 2. I laughed. I would have burned through so many AA batteries playing this on an original Game Boy.
