I like the idea but the game makes itself difficult to play. Your hitbox gets somewhat messed up when you attack so it's hard not to take damage in return, so it was good that you could avoid them most of the time. When I realized that some enemies tell you hints I tried to solve them but it was difficult because they disappeared constantly. When I finally got the answer to the riddle I still couldn't unlock the doors and gave up. It was then I realized you should have entered all the digits on the left side of the equation, which was not obvious in my opinion.
So I booted it up again, cleared the first two areas (the second riddle was pretty great) and got stuck in the next one. I thought I had its solution but apparently it wasn't enough. Perhaps a hint system would have improved it for players who get stuck?

Solving the riddles is quite fun, I got stuck at the second level. and I agree with @Dudum Lare the health system is a bit harsh, but overall the game is fun and I like the characters

Bit tedious, and not much strategy. Nice job though

It took me a bit, but the intro text and the mellow soundtrack eventually made me realize that just fighting every enemy was going to be a losing strategy. This game favors logic over conflict, and I liked that a lot. It definitely got hard to avoid the enemies, but I really enjoyed it :)

I think the graphics were really cute! As others have mentioned, the face-health system is neat. The combat felt a little pointless, as there was little room for error since you had so little health (and attacking seemed to be impossible without losing at least some health). The concept is really cool, but it was difficult to get a good look at the riddle since it was associated with one of the enemies (and as previously mentioned, you can't really hang around enemies very easily). I think with some minor adjustments it could be a lot of fun though!

This was fun to play, I like the little riddles. The art was so cute! I defeated the stronghold hopefully peace does last in the Cat Kingdom. Nice game, Great Job!

Neat game! Dungeon crawlers are the best!

This was really fun, and the quiz stuff was pretty frantic and challenging because to see the clue you have to stand near something that wants to kill you. I couldn't ever beat the ninja cats or whatever they were, tho, and kept having to start again from the beginning. I totally love the art style. Thanks for making a cool dungeon!

Cannot play, due to the error "An error occured running the Unity content on this page. See your browser's JavaScript console for more info. The error was:
SecurityError: The operation is insecure."

@erik-brendel which browser are you using?
Doing a google search, I see that IE has difficulty with webGL. Other than that I see the solution was to delete your cache but not your cookies.
Hope this helps. (I use firefox and Chrome)

It actually worked in edge, but not in firefox :o
Are you sure that 3 + __8__ * 6 / 2 = 30? Feels like there should be a 9 instead...

@erik-brendel thanks for noticing. I actually had another equation for level 2 that was switched around, but in a rush I released with this one.

Good Job! I appreciate some of the polish you added like the dial health occlusion :)
Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future! Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!
