Small bug: At the second level the first respawn has a camera offset, every consecutive respawn works fine though.

Anyway, Good job!
movement speed seemed to be permanently influenced by the amulet even after death and it's not in my
inventory. It fits the theme really well which many have taken more lightly. So, neat!
Overall I had a good time though so well done.
The only real gripe I had was the camera would sometimes get buggy and move when it shouldn't, resulting in me not being able to see the character. I had to restart once due to this.
That said, I liked the rooms concept in general, and paying to go through the doors was a solid application of the theme. The premise was interesting, and I'm impressed with the amount of content you were able to get into the game in such a short time.
Thanks for the game, I had fun! :)
I had a bug every now and then with the camera. It would happen sometimes when scrolling to a new room. I'd be pressing in the direction I wanted to move and it shifted the camera. Had a hard time replicating it tho
I was a bit confused by the shop (I didn't initially realize I was looking at a sell window). I was also confused on the purpose of the corrupted potions and drank one to ensure I was understanding the concept correctly.
I ran into a few bugs, but nothing too devastating. I was unable to pick up the 2nd max health increase item (full inventory?) so it despawned leaving me to kill myself from max health getting through the next door. I also saw the camera bug described in the summary.
Inventory system, merchant and items are my favourite features in this game, attacking is fine but maybe you should be able to move while attacking.
I didnt expect to see more level then 1 tbh but it did surprise me you had time for level building.
Cracking the things around you also feels great and adds to the feel.
Animations are good in general but you could also add particle effects or camera shakes when you hit an enemy, right now Im not sure whether I hit something or not.
Lastly sounds are great but the music finishes and does not loop I think you forgot to press loop button in on AudioSource which plays background music.
In general good job guys you came far and maybe could expand on the game!
Only had a few issues - the enemies keep moving, and attacking, whilst you are transitioning screens. And sometimes, this causes the screen scroller to go haywire - scrolling down, instead of to the right. Then you gets 5ever.
Btw, thanks for playing our game on the stream, that was awesome :)
