Fragile Soul by Ashedragon

[raw]
made by Ashedragon for LD28 (JAM)
A character who's lost his way. A goddess with a particular interest in him. He's failed at achieving his goal, but the goddess is benevolent and grants him some of her energy so that he might get a chance to accomplish his desire. But only one. His weak soul is not even a shell of his former glory--it is fragile and weak, yet ambitious and strong. Can he conquer this?
(The full story isn't even in this build why am I even)

Fantastic idea. The instant deaths were a little frustrating at first, but eventually I figured it out. Perhaps the loot and player health systems could have used some tweaking, but the game was great overall. Also, the full-screen option did not seem to work, which is a shame. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong. I clicked the little box, but nothing happened. Anyway, I'd love to see this game expanded upon.

I agree that it's got a nice style. The graphics are nice, and the game feels fairly complete. Nice job!

Really nice. I like the control setup, it's like a twin-stick shooter roguelike. Cool artstyle and music too!

I really like this, the mechanics are solid and its fun to play. Your use of the theme isn't very original though

Ooh, pretty! Was a bit confused about the controls at first, especially after I spawned directly next to an enemy and was killed immediately, but then it's pretty fun. :D

The game was a little bit too random, otherwise, its a great game. I love how I could apply my chess move skills into this XD

@SuperPokeunicorn: Yeah, the balance isn't right just yet and I hadn't added very many items so the generation worked at all, but thanks!

@All: Thanks for the comments and criticisms, you're all lovely!

Nice tile-based graphics. I can't seem to get much further than a few levels in, but it's decently fun to play.

Definitely tough. Everything runs real smooth, I liked the game play, I just die soooo easy, sometimes without warning.

Not very original theme-wise, but quite fun! Far more polished than most other LD games, and seems to have a good amount of content. Very hard and sometimes cheap though, but I suppose that's typical roguelike fare.

Nice game, got some glitches with weapon durability after restarting and the game crashed once after I picked up my second torch.

Took me some time to figure out the controls, but then I've enjoyed the game a lot! The camera movement was a bit rough though.

Addicting game. My only complaint is about the scrolling animation when moving - it could be smoothed further.

Yeah, the camera's not so good. I've been looking into that, but I haven't found any solutions.

Alright game, could be a little more intuitive

Really fun and polished game! Lots of attention to detail. I didn't mind that the camera was a bit rough, it didn't take away from the gameplay at all. As for camera smoothing ideas, take a look at the camera in the framework I used for my game.

Great game! It was fun to play and it actually made me play things game for awhile.
Loved the idea and the background music.

Cool game and nice graphics! In the beginning it seemed difficult, but just need to waste one turn attacking then the game becomes more easier. :)
