Fun game! I'm very bad at it though :)

I can't seem to move right. Is that intentional? I'm using Google Chrome.

Just reached Room 3, a bit hard to understand de deals mechanic but once you done it´s pretty fun. Congratulations!

@seb-jones No, that's weird :disappointed:.
Is this working without itch.io iframe ? https://v6p9d9t4.ssl.hwcdn.net/html/1396499/dist/index.html

Pretty fun game. I like how the enemies are slightly randomized so you can't just memorize a pattern to win. I agree with @twobythree that the life-debt mechanic is not very obvious at first. I made it to room 4 eventually though. Nice job!

@maniae Still no luck, and didn't work on Firefox either. I think it must be something about my laptop. I'll try it on my desktop later :smile:

@maniae I managed to get it working on my desktop. Very fun game! I also really like the boss sprite. One question - is it possible to win the game, or does it go on for ever?

A very nice and simple game. I kinda wish there was some upgrades to my attacks that I could get loaned out for some health. Very nice concept.

The color palette made it a little hard to see what's happening, but otherwise pretty enjoyable game.
