Change Is Inevitable by huckleberryjen
Change is Inevitable! Fight your way through a dungeon where, if you go through a portal, your entire play style has to change!
There are three weapons:
Force Field: a yellow attack that has to charge up. Hits hard but has a long cooldown.
Hammer: a massive hammer that slams down on enemies, but like the Force Field, must charge up and has a long cooldown.
Sword: a light sword; less damage, but also less of a cooldown and no charge.
Navigate with WASD and attack with the mouse button; hold down mouse button to charge attacks, when applicable. Press escape to pause the game.
Enjoy!

I was stuck with the "sword", really difficult to touch with that range! maybe you should change weapon every room so it feels more unstable?
Good job! :)
The art was very beautiful. Well-prepared pixel-art.
The music was much to be desired. A very small looping and a very confusing song. I suggest listening to more game music to create repertoire.
One thing that got in the way a little was the fact that the character turns down when we let go of the controller. If we want to hit the enemy that is coming from the side and released the ASDW it turns down and attacks wrong.
Congratulations for the game.
With that being said I do wish the attacks in the game were, well, better. I think having an immediate, weaker, version of each attach would have helped a lot. I think each type of attack could feel more distinct. One being AOE, another being ranged (Just examples, not necessarily what would be best), would go a long way in terms of making the player play differently when they get a new weapon. Now you just hold z if it's not the sword, otherwise you spam z.
I think this type of dungeon crawler could work pretty well! It's worth polishing I think.
