In this game you can die, or kill, or sacrifice, or do nothing - it's totally your problems.

No balance, deadly hard, horde of monsters, pretty bad princess - this all for you :heartpulse:.

And One More Thing ((c) Steve Jobs) - anyway you will lose (SPOILER ALERT!).

I didn't really "get it" and just lost interest a few floors in. The music was repetitive and there was no way to turn it off besides just muting.

I really liked how all of the enemy sprites looked. I had an issue when I was right mouse button an enemy.blue.png

I've been spawn outside the map. Despite the fact of this bug, it is great.

I'm not sure if that's a bug or not. I found myself outside the level tiles after one of the level transitions

Cute and funny pixelart, would have loved a better ui.

interesting game and fun game. Btw, I found a bug. My character got teleported to the outside of the room after stage 4 or 5(forget which one)

The text was a little bit small, everyone could walk through walls except me, and what I was supposed to do was a little unclear. I kept getting teleported to another room and I couldnt figure out why, and sometimes I would wind up outside of the map lol. That said, I loved the art!

The Linux version doesn't work as its missing a data directory apparently.

Seems kind of endless? Stopped when the map changed and I was suddenly out of bounds and could not go back inside because of the walls. Other than that, seems to work well. Melee attacks seem risky because you usually get hurt from touching an enemy (I think).

I also didn't really get it. There seemed to be no goal. I see some potential though, with a (quite) a bit more polish. I feel like this more fits a theme of "Sacrifices _may_ be made". I didn't find it necessary to do so in the amount of time I spent.

linux version is incomplete, i get the following output:
no boot config - using default values

(Filename: Line: 453)

There is no data folder

I really enjoyed the art and presentation. I didn't understand the sacrifice as a loss, more just a form of currency. I, also, got stuck outside stage 2. Nice job, though!

Interesting idea, but needed more options for sacrifice, to get another stats or something else. Unfortunately i spawned outside of arena on level 3 and 4. As i see you already know about this bug. Good luck!

Great idea with ghosts! But a bit boring, you need more difficulty playing

I like the graphics and the overall feel ,I think you need a background to replace the default background

I super love the bouncy little animations :) Well done.

Game looks unbalanced(in bad meaning). Enemies can be eliminated easy and without any damage, so sacrifices really may be made.
Jevgeni Orehhov13 Dec 2018, 10:04
That was very clever not to balance the game but instead of marking it as a bug declaring it as a feature :)
Animations and art is just great.
Since we all had so little time it's really cool that you managed to do that much.
I think you can make it even better if you update the game after LD.
Good work!
