Ascend, mustachio'd stranger! Ascend! Climb the tower of Ba'al, but beware the traps on every floor. They are deadly. Super deadly.

That mustache inspired me to great heroics, and by heroics I mean dying to the boss.

Love it! Nice art, atmospheric music and I like the challenge. Found a small bug though: Sometimes the character gets stuck for a second when walking along a wall, which messed me up while I was trying to save my glorious moustache from the eye guard. Can't reproduce it 100%, but it mostly happens when you walk diagonally into the right wall, then walk straight up or straight down.

Hey, oh_andrej! I think I know what the issue is. I didn't animate the character until literally ten minutes before submission so I think the mask is getting stuck on the walls. Sorry about that!

I loved it! The swinging pendulum rooms had a bug sometimes where you died instantly with the fall-in-pit noise when you entered it. That happened so much that I gave up, but I love the concept and would play a fleshed out version.

I really enjoyed your game! Really loved the need for quick thinking.

Good "random mini-game" feel to it. Very challenging.
