Great game, major flaw. After reloading the page multiple times the gold amount will not go higher than 12500. Otherwise the game is excellent.

Not a bad start for a game. I agree with the assessment that it needs polish. The single melee attack needs to be expanded on. The money capping at 12500 is really annoying, as you have a very limited array of weapons you can actually buy from the blacksmith. The game needs to be vastly longer, I know it says "demo", so I look forward to the rest being published. I like the level design. I liked that the shooting spikes aren't a one hit kill. It was also a bit on the easy side. If this were standalone content, I would give it three stars. But since it says "demo" I can see 3.5 as more appropriate. It is an effective demonstration of things to come.

I can't get more than a certain amount of gold even though I keep collecting. The blacksmith always say that I can't buy X Y Z. It the equipment level-locked or is it just a glitch, it would not make sense for it to be level-locked and then have to pay so I guess it's a glitch. Apart from that, other reviews probably cover other aspects that can be fixed, the idea of this dungeon crawler is neat.

Good for a beta, though there were a few problems:

- In most games with a "double jump", if you fall off of a ledge, you still get the second jump. If you fall off of a ladder, you don't get a single or double jump. I would add both of those.

- You also can't throw the boomerang while on a ladder, I would add that.

-Why is it when I upgraded my sword/boomerang the boxes still took the same number of hits? That's just a logic thing.

- The game is taller than my laptop screen, so I couldn't see the top and bottom at the same time. At the beginning, I didn't see the text at the top and I thought the controls weren't working.

- Some of the bad guy's health regenerated when they left the screen.

- I would also add customizable controls.

Like I said, good for a beta.

Thanks a lot for pointing all these out. Comments like this help with the full development of the game. Thanks for playing!

Meh, nothing about this game really stood out to me in any good way. Not the graphics, not the story, not the music... The only two things that really stood out were the combat and the controls, and both in bad ways. The combat felt stiff, and you were better off if you only used the ranged weapon; any attempt to fight with melee would usually result in you getting hurt. As for the controls... Well. Arrow keys. No option to change controls. That's really all that needs to be said. And to be honest? This was just boring.

In conclusion, this is a game that's thoroughly unremarkable except in how bland and generic it is.

Thanks for the comment. I will work on making the game more exciting and add more variety to make it stand out more.
