too many monsters I couldn't handle..
This game lacks audio
Funny art, like it
And the art is very good as well! Good job everyone!
On the other hand, you did have the skills to avoid the enemies. The floaty jump made it possible to jump over them, and the high run speed made it possible to outrun them. This in combination with the quests made it already a lot of fun just trying to evade the mob while you were searching the level for levers and boxes. Maybe leaning more into that aspect of the game could lead to some interesting gameplay. :)
Anyway, really well done! A solid submission for sure. :D
This was hard, didn't manage to bring all 6 boxes to the elevator
Fun game though
The controls could use a bit more polish - sometimes it felt like the protagonist's aim lagged slightly behind my inputs (e.g. I'd have the mouse to his left but he'd swing his pickaxe to the right). The bigger enemies on the later levels are also perhaps a bit too tanky, especially when the objective is "carry boxes to the elevator" - it's easy to get overwhelmed!
I'd also like to suggest that maybe the "Exit" option in the shop should advance you automatically? It's a bit confusing how you have to both exit out of the shop *and* operate the lever to continue. The first time I cleaned out the shop, I thought the game had frozen because I couldn't move, but then I realized the shop was still open!
