Good game.

Good game.
I beat the first cave fine. I ended with a Trash shield which was worse than the shield I picked up earlier...

The gameplay is good.
Not sure what happens when you die though... I died once and I am not sure what kind of penalty there is for dying... my character came back to life with full health.

There needs to be a save feature of some kind though.
After the first level I closed the program to see what would happen, and it just brought me back to the tutorial.
Kinda lame for an RPG to do that. It took me 20 minutes to get up to the end of the first cave.
All 4 caves should take over an hour to beat and without a save mechanism, I don't know how many people feel like playing for an hour straight.

Thanks for the review. You've got good points.
The unique drops are mainly to balance out bad luck so you'll have something on every slot. They should be better than what's available through drops though, I need to check it.

I think it's pretty hard game as it is so there's not death penalty.

Saving is something I'll look into and probably add later.

solid, very fun

The graphics disapointed me, but the engine and AI was very awesome <3. Sounds sort of got annoying, but thats what volume is for. Dieing didnt seem to do anything, except for restart the floor you were on. so drinking potions seemed pointless unless i was about to win and about to die. Lol anyway, i wish i could script like you, and yah. 4/5 7/10 <3.

Nice game, some improvements needed

A nice little rpg game, I really liked it but somehow I got tired pretty fast, here's some hints to improve:

Make the flail easier to control: after a while whipping around with your mouse you wish you had some kinda sword instead. Otherwise I adored the looting (auto-collect is awesome). So I guess a 6/10 playability is a fair score.

Sounds: simple but really fits, you can add some more or some music. 7/10.

Graphics are quite simple but I adore the arcade feeling of it, so it's 8/10.

Overall 7/10, you didn't waste your time making a nice little game, try to expand it, work a bit on flail control system (or I'll ask Santa a new wrist), add some sound-music if you wish and please work on a save and load option.
Keep up the good job.

Not bad.

The game was really fun to play, and I liked using the mouse as your weapon, but the difficulty curve is like running into a brick wall. For the first two floors you have two spawn points of easily killable enemies, but on the next one they are much more hardy and there are four spawn points. If the game was a bit slower with the building up the enemies strength it would be much more fun.

Thanks for the review, you may be onto something here.
I guess I could try to make the curve a bit less steep but not too much so it won't become too boring.
