Gachapaw Dungeon Crawl by Don Fouts

Your cat has run off, and you've chased it into an old, dank crypt. Inside, your cat jumps over a circular coffin and out rises a vampire like man! As your kitty delves inwards, the man offers you use of his machines to equip yourself with weapons and armor. The machines though... they need your blood in exchange! Will you brave the dungeon with nothing but a stick? Or trade up for random arms from this mysterious "Gachapon" machines?
Controls: Space to use machines, advance text WASD to move Click to attack.

The only issue is a lack of HP bar for enemies (if there more than one it's hard to track how much they've left).
Maybe it's a little unfair the damage received as you enter into certain rooms. But i enjoyed playing it.
Pretty nice pixelart, music fits perfectly with the game and controls feel well polished.
Good job!
Sometimes I died when I was still transitioning to another room, because some enemies were either camping the door or the spinning wheel would already move and kill me.
Another thing I really liked were the different armours and weapons. Good job guys!
Graphics and theme got 5 stars :v:
My main criticisms are:
1. It feels like there's too much of a variation in power between the different types of weapons - the crossbows (or the couple I got, at least) are orders of magnitude less powerful than the swords, making the game feel impossible whenever I got one.
2. You don't have enough time after entering a room to really get a sense of what dangers lurk in said room. This can lead to some unfair deaths, since you don't have the time to react to the thing that killed you.
Despite those, I enjoyed my time with this! Good work.
Thanks you :)
Nice work tho !
So, clever use of the scenario to inform the controls and also put the credits of the game. Also, outstanding visuals, i really liked the pixelart graphics.
I found it a little clunky to play, easily getting hit by enemies (sometimes when i just enter the room) and not really smooth to walk, but its kinda of a minor annoyance.
The background music is really nice, and the intro was nicely done.
Really good job on this game!
