Awesome idea, fits the theme too perfect, I'm jealous of your creative muscles :) Can say only 1 thing, pls expand on this

Submitted

Ooh really neat idea! I enjoyed going through my own dungeons and the upgrade system.

I thought this was really cool! I really like the concept of risk vs reward in designing the dungeon and running through a dungeon of your own making, although I didn't find much difference in difficulty between the rooms. Good work!

Submitted

The game is very entertaining; maybe the dungeon expansion system could be more complex.

Submitted

Nice game especially for such a short deb time. But the dungeons are really too simple and the whole scale part seems to me more like a gimmick and not an integral part of the gameplay.  (I you can find the time i would be happy if you took a look at my game and rated it)

Submitted

i like the mix of the puzzly dungeon editor and action gameplay and how they affect each other, and the room editor interface is intuitive!

Submitted

It’s a really unique concept! I loved how you can freely adjust the balance between items and difficulty.

Submitted

I loved this game! And maybe I'm biased, because I also made a roguelike, but I think this is a super cool idea. Well done!

Submitted

Holy shit this is a fantastic idea for a game. I am really impressed. As soon as I made my first layout and started playing I was like, "oh... OHHHH, I get it now!"

Played through a few times and I'll say this is a very well executed game for this game jam. I didn't get any sound though? Was there sound?

Regardless, this has been one of my faves so far. Thanks for making this! I want a full version!

Developer

Thanks! Im glad to hear that you enjoyed it!
I didnt get to add any music within the timeframe though.

Cool idea having the player build the dungeon, but I definitely didn't understand what I was supposed to do at the start.

Submitted

Cool concept, very impressive for a game made in 16h. I would have loved to have more rooms to play with and make more intricate dungeons. 

Submitted

really neat game! the upgrades on the wand are very fun and the lack of heals make the game feel more rewarding when you do survive for a long time!

Submitted

A very cool idea to make the player build and scale the difficulty of the rooms themselves! Having loot based on the positions of the rooms is a nice touch too.

Submitted

I loves upgrades! Neat that I can kind-of design my own level befor a run.

Submitted

Really nice game, I agree with the comment about music and sound in general.

Submitted

THIS IS SUCH A COOL CONCEPT!!! I am suffering the consequences of the dungeon which i built!

Submitted

Cool Game!

Submitted

Cool and unique concept! Really admire the fact that you guys spent time with all the enemy variants, difficulties, and upgrades. Would be perfect if there was a lore or backstory on why the player gets to design the dungeon in the first place but anyway Great work!

Submitted

Lot's of fun to be had with this game, If only there were some music and a bit more game juice I would have forgotten about rating the other games and just kept playing. Great job.

Submitted

LOVE the idea! A more fleshed out version would be a game i would buy on steam, good work! A lot of potential :)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, and I'm really happy that you appreciated my game!
