It would help if you stated exactly what exactly you are looking for feedback on in your game. That said, I couldn't really play it because the 'A' key didn't work - my character couldn't attack

hold down the A key, that should work. Im changing it to space in a bit, idk.
If it doesn't work after that, then I have no idea.

The last game I made didn't get a lot of feedback, I'm just wondering if theres any interest in this sort of thing, if not, I'll make a different game.

Oh ok it works now.

If there was some kind of direction to the game, like a story, it could make a fun little game. Right now it is all just random action. If that was your goal for the game then maybe make it wave-based. I'm sure once you fix all of the collision issues with the terrain as well it will be a better experience.

I've changed the basic animation
I've added maps; adding more things etc.

Why is NG user activity so quiet these days?
Paulhtml5's games got a slew of traffic no more than a year ago
now his latest game has under 3 comments?

Yea, hit the Tilde Key [ "~" or ` ], its next to 1, or below esc

New version here

If anyone knows how to program an item inventory or is offering to look at my code to help sort out why everything is going to slow, I'd be happy to let someone do that, idk.

Right off the bat, I'm not a fan of the fact that the instructions auto disappear after a timer. Let the player go at their own pace, because this is a lot of info to take in, too much - in fact - for the beginning of the game. If this much instruction is needed at the beginning something is wrong, somethings should be explained when the player reaches the point where it's useful, and some things can just be more intuitive.

Starting the actual gameplay: I go down, down, collect a bunch or stuff, and I have no clue what they do because there's no descriptions. the UI seems like it going for a minimalist approach, which I don't think is right for this type of game. Except of course the bottom right corner hud, this thing is easily 3 times bigger than it needs to be.

Holding f and pressing number keys is awkward. can the inventory just be up at the bottom of the screen the whole time, and pressing '1' by itself would activate the item? Do all of the items have to be part of an active menu? The alternative is a giant inventory, that pauses the game when it's open, this allows room for descriptions on each item.

when i start fighting there's like 5 or 6 guys in the first room, and any room before this suddenly is swarmed with enemies as well, the word "miss" pops up an insane amount of times, which is super annoying. Even at lvl 4 I feel like I'm missing 50% of the time.

The shop interface is non-intuitive, I'd rather have buttons that I can select with the arrow keys

many tiles are misleading, they look like i can walk on them, mostly it tiles that just look too similar to the ground, but sometimes I just can walk on floor tiles. Example A Example B

Lastly when you die, nothing happens.

All in all the game has a lot of potential. It's clear you put a lot of work into it, and it's a pretty nice prototype, but there's a lot of things that irk me
