Pretty funny game, I loved the sprite of the main guy running around. The game is a little hard to play for an extended period of time with the bright red background, but the game itself aside from that is pretty cool! I'd love to see that dungeon packed with a few more items in which you can discover their purpose or use

One million points for the Moogs. Satan was too clever for me though.

This game is hell, so why did I beat it? Feels like Stockholm syndrome, because by the end I actually really enjoyed it. There is a clear and pretty good design underneath the hood. There was the initial hump were I thought I wouldn't be able to bring my self to play for more than the first few minutes, but after likely an embarrassing amount of time I was interrupting hints and memorizing map layouts and devising pathing plans to beat levels. Surprising gem with some adventure mixed with the forest section from musashi vibes, the longest I think I played a ludum dare game for.

What a fun little game. Nice one. But i felt little frustrated when i was hitting the succubus head on every time i entered the room.

This game has some occasionally clever navigation puzzles that required a good understanding of the level layout, which I liked. However, the game as a whole feels a bit basic and needs more mechanics. 9 levels is certainly overstaying its welcome since each level just kinda felt the same. That said, I do like the theming of the game and the color scheme really pops. Nice work!

Good music, concept, and ambiance! I couldn't beat it though, not easy!

Well, maybe it looks monotonous, but puzzles are amazing! Love it :) And Satan is such a funny guy with a girly belly, haha :)

I had a lot of fun playing this game awesome work creating it! I haven't been able to beat it yet so I will have to keep trying! I really loved the hints system and how the enemies spawn back in the middle of the rooms! Awesome work!
