The different upgrades were fun to use, but similar to other people, I didn't see how you regained health. Intuitively I feel like it should be replenished on each floor. I also agree that the game could use some obstacles in the rooms. Going into rooms with just increasingly more enemies got a little bit repetitive. Although I do appreciate the enemy variety.\n\nThe artwork and music were great.

Thank you for sharing.\n\nSome feedback:\n- No hit indicator, was not obvious when I was actually being attacked.\n- Could do with some more health pickups.\n- Text on the player upgrades was really confusing.\n- Looks like the cursor icon is corrupted?\n- Would be nice to have the game title on the main screen.\n- Might want to disable the exit button for the web version.\n- Could be a little more interesting with some more randomization in the tile pieces.. maybe a map editor like Tiled might be helpful!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":974180,"author_name":"LDJam user 362721","author_uid":"362721","epoch":1683521184,"text":"Sometimes rooms get cleared without removing all enemies and you tend to slow down a lot if you move against the walls","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":976209,"author_name":"SerialKamikaze","author_uid":"serialkamikaze","epoch":1683658060,"text":"Nice little game!
