"I DIED" is a randomly generated arena combat game where moving and attacking are the same thing. Build momentum to smash into enemies, see how long you can stay alive, and uncover more of the story as you die horribly. Gameplay is inspired by The Binding Of Isaac.
There may be some bugs and/or oddities with item combinations/synergies, so please let us know if you run into any problems! We have intentions of adding to this in the coming weeks to make it a more substantial experience. This will (most likely) include more items, rooms, and enemy types!
CONTROLS: Arrow keys. That's it. No, really!
Oh, and thanks for playing! --The Layabouts

It's a really nice aesthetic, the control scheme fits the theme very well, and I love the audio. Certainly one of the better games I've rated thus far.
Best run : 7 rooms. Ok, you guys did an awesome job here. I'm a huge fan of Binding of Isaac and I really appreciated the references (gameplay as well as graphics). I also like the fact that you gave this game your own "touch". The gameplay is original. Two thumbs up !
... ew. Nicely done graphics and game play, but (and this is personal preference) the art style kind of turned me off. Audio was slightly annoying. Loved the game play mechanic of bashing in to stuff, though.

I, too, get the Binding of Isaac vibe. Challenging!
Hey, that's a cool game. Great idea about using speed to defeat enemies (and reduce control input). Also, the B&W art remembers me the old days of the Speccy. Had a blast when I picked up the pepper.
Super cool - got to 5 rooms. Very very fun. I was pulled in by the 10s video and the visuals, very nice. The controls were a bit touchy, I felt like I had to ram back and forth some to get it feeling good. Great work!
Well, first of all, you guys are geniuses for changing the death message every replay. Am I the only one who noticed that? Talk about replay value! Wow! You people have definitely got on to my "play more of this game later" list. I need to see where it leads (and begins- I didn't start reading it until later).
I love the graphical style and the playful gruesomeness. Very good feel. I really ought to download Binding of Issac, I bought it in an old Humble Bundle but never played it. Also very good physics.
