Collect green orbs that you use to build the next room in the dungeon. The higher the cost of the room, the better the room will be, and the lower the cost, the more dangerous the room will be. When you manage to collect 20 green orbs and spend it on the escape card room, you win.

Cool entry. Loved the screen stretch effect. Controls felt smooth. The lives/shooting health confused me. When i reached 1 energy and pressed fire i thought i would die but that wasn't the case. Impressive game for a 48 hour work though :)

Lovely graphics, interesting concept. I included it in my Ludum Dare 45 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/RIViZJOE9ps

Very nice aestethic, good gameplay! The main character of your game loses health with each shot, just like the boss in my game. Are they the same? Find out in the next episode!

I liked it! The only thing that felt a bit strange is having to use mouse to choose the next room you build, even though mouse is not used in gameplay. I kept trying to navigate that room choice menu with movement keys and enter :wink:

Really good game. I like the cylinder like display of the game and the whole concept is good. Well done!

These shaders are really fancy!! I liked this, an interesting roguelite, I died a lot but managed to get the 20 orbs and win.

Nice visuals, and game is pretty chalenging.
I whould rather transfer aiming and shoting from arrtows to mouse.

The visuals of this game are amazing! They are so pleasing to look at! The shooting mechanic also fealt really nice as it was accompanied by just the right aount of screen shake! The audio was also very good as it fit in nicely with the 8 bit theme! Overall, this is a very good jam entry!
