Added A, S, D button layout as an alternative to Shift, Z, X since there were people with layout issues that made the game more difficult to play (different key placement than mine)

Survive through endless dungeon rooms and go as deep as you can. In each room you'll have 10 seconds to complete your objective; which includes either killing all the monsters, or jumping trough traps to get to the exit.

CONTROLS: Arrow Keys: Move Z/S: Jump X/D: Attack Shift/A: Hold to sprint =============================================
Only managed to clear 9 rooms. :D There's nice variation on the maps. Somehow the shift, z, x controls felt a bit weird as there's one key between shift and z. Probably three adjacent keys would have been easier. Like zxc or something. Also the game gets frustrating when you fail on the last gap or monster. :D But that's not a bad thing as it's only the player to blame and not the game. So yea, nice entry. :) Music and sound effects were peaceful (although the action itself gets pretty intense at times :D). The monster and player sprites were cute, too.
Really fun game, it kept me playing numerous times to try and get a better score. So far the best I can do is 9. It's a game that with a bit more polish and more possible level generations it could be really good.
Great game, very fun and engaging. The controls were a bit suboptimal though, since I'm using a german keyboard, so the Z is where you got the Y, which made everything a lot more difficult. :D And so I wasn't really able to use all three abilities.
Not too bad. Those bats are really tough though, and there isn't as much variety as there could have been. If only you had more time! The graphics are pretty good too.
I snuck in playing your game at work. xD I like it. I think it's great that you only lose a life for failing a room, and getting hit just costs you time. I do wish the levels weren't random. I can lose a really hard level and then get three single-snake rooms in a row, and that feels a bit silly.
A nicely polished and fun little game. I cleared 7 rooms and then the difficult seemed to really ramp up! As a dvorak user the keys were a right pain too - would be nice if you had alternatives with ctrl/shift/space/etc. The music was very nice.
The platforming levels were much harder for me than the combat ones. I would have liked if jumping up, on the top of the screen did not killed you. Overall I had fun with the game and found it pretty enjoyable.
Really enjoyed the random generation, but occasionally ran into visual glitches that made it near impossible to win. Hope to see a finished version after compo!
Nice game, Some levels I found very hard, others very easy. Loved the idea of it all being random, very well done. I featured this game in my compilation video of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/okyxuWBF5Yw
Awesome work! I really like the simple game start, with the controls and stuff. Visuals were very nice, good controls and overall a nice game. Sound was background (in a good way) and the puzzles were the right difficulty. Keep it up!
Good music and gameplay, but lacks variety and polish in general. Updating scores manually would become too hard with many players, consider using/making an automatic system.
Pretty charming art, would like to see her walk and attack animation. I really like the idea of random rooms, it kept the game fresh. I suck at timing those disappearing tiles though, mostly because I run out of time.
I had fun playing this game and the randomness is cool! You can expand on this and add the same sort of AI they did from Left4Dead which determines the difficulty based on the player's skill. :P
Haha, that was really hard to beat the exit levels! For me, the downward acceleration on the jumps could be a little lower for the jumps to have more control. Nostalgic graphics and the music was great and classy. Good work!

Fun game, nice music as well.
As for gameplay, this was pretty well done, even if bit rough around the edges, hitting enemies is a bit difficult with such a short forward slash.
The game crashed on me after clearing around 8-10 rooms or so. It was fun until then, nice work!
fun.
A lil bit of polishing would be good though

because most of that 10 were "Kill all monsters" room.
The platformer rooms were HARD!
xD
It's like a one shot only. If you failed the first try, there's like no way you'll make it the second time.
:P
