This game is pretty sweet, the combat is hard but it doesn't feel unfair.
Really fun! Just wish there were more of a tutorial.
Thanks for playing!
Unfortunately, I didn’t have much time during the jam to create a tutorial. I tried to explain a bit about the game here on the game page. Sorry about that!
Hey! This is an awesome little gem. The sprites and environment are awesome, and the sounds are great, though a mute button or some sound controls would be awesome. Also, it’s incredibly unforgiving, I think a tutorial would be awesome, as it took a LOT of dying and dying before I finally killed some bandits. The bandit attack screen was pretty cool, and the maze was fun to navigate. It also took a long time to figure out that you could get upgrades if you go outside, which helped tremendously. Keep it up bro!
Hey, sorry the upgrade wasn't very clear. I updated the itch page after reading your comment, thanks for the feedback!
I was really tired at the end of the jam, so I didn’t manage to create a sound controller or a tutorial. I only added the instant movement and step SFX options on the map.
Thank you so much for playing!
Had a fun time playing it :)
Tough start but as soon as I understood killing chickens is early meta, I was able to stock some gold
Thank you for sharing Garcez, love your games
You're the best Victor =D
