Ratings and reviews

Really fun game, love the rougelike gameplay and the item system and all that, controls are a bit wonky sometimes but I'm sure it'll keep getting better with more updates and whatnot, keep up the great work dev! :) I think it might make collecting stuff more rewarding if you could save up the red gems (or whatever the red crystals you get during runs are called) between runs since getting enough runes to upgrade stuff or buy new characters takes a while, and getting to save those up would be 👌.

The physics are a bit wonky at times, and the combat can be a bit iffy with the aim and hitboxes, but all in all this is a pretty solid game. I play a lot of roguelikes, and my very first run ended with killing the Final Boss, so it definitely has an approachable and agreeable initial difficulty. A bit of polish on the physics, and maybe some better tooltips for food items, such as how much they heal and recover hunger, and this game could easily be 5 stars.

Similar to other reviews, the problem lies in the controls. Also being hit by attacks that are nowhere near you is frustrating. When choosing an ad for a reward, they're the most obnoxious kind, with multiple stages to the ad and they just go on forever. The game has to be great to pay to remove ads, and this just doesn't cut it as it stands now. Perhaps use a different ad service? Right now your game IS the ads.
