Okay, first of all, your little spelunker sprite is super adorable.
This is a really nice, polished game! Fun graphics, good sound, what looks like procedurally generated levels... this is the full package!

Visual is cool and lack of music made such dungeon crawling atmosphere. Nice job!

Cool designs

Ahah cool sound XD pretty decent gameplay but game needs progression

The variety of enemy movement is great. It's also cute how the hit numbers fall out of your enemies like blood. Fun little game!

Nice game, good graphics with nice floor/wall variety. The game is a bit too hard, I've only explored past floor 01. I've also like the simple sounds effects which have a nice retro feel.

Well made dungeon crawler, could could have used a bit more variety in the enemies and weapons.

Everything looks super sweet :heart: I felt like a turtle with the backpack and the moving sound :D
Really love how many different types of enemies all with their animation cycles and different attack patterns you were able to put in. I was able to feel the dread when the skeletons homed in on me with their slightly different movement sound :P Oohnnooooo
Also overall a great difficulty level!
I enjoyed playing, good job!

A hardcore dungeon crawler, sweet. I do feel like some sense of progression is needed to flush this game out, but for the time given, it's a fun game. Good stuff!

Really like this. Fun and simple with great polish. Good amount of variety with enemiy types, all doing there own unique attacks!

Wow I LOVE The controls here! wasd to move and cursors to attack in that cardinal. Its perfect and makes you have to use strategy you cant just hold that direction but have to time it right too. Animation and Sound are betw Atari and C64 and work great. Its really fun and I would love to see a full adventure RPG like this Collision is a bit off like I dont think it should include the players head.
Mac version works great
Almost every mac game in the jam required me to do this: `Double-click -> Cancel` then `Right-click -> Open -> Open` to get around the security of the mac gatekeeper but after that it worked perfectly!
