Survive The Spungeon
A very unfair... yuri deckbuilder rougelike? (read before playing)
The noble you serve has been kidnapped! Venture into some random dungeon in vain hopes of rescuing (and winning over) her!
Yapping first:
Survive the Spungeon is... an absolute mess of a game. But I like to think it's my own, adorable little mess.
The yuri part is probably the most 'detailed' part of the game, and that animation was made in just 3 hours 💀 (while I ofc kept changing my mind a hundred times).
The game:
Move with the arrow keys.
You are given a Wheel filled with 'Modifiers'. These affect how your attack works (or doesn't!) In the earlygame, You can read about them while 'gambling' or by mousing-over them.
I'm going to be completely honest and say that getting two negative modifiers earlygame is an extremely likely death. Luckily, there are far more positives than negatives!
FAQ:
Why is everything this stupid green freak? I uhh... ran out of time. There's technically 3 enemies you can encounter though... haha... Most of the 'action' in this game is from YOUR loot and modifiers however, so it doesn't really matter too much.
Why does my character move like a concrete slab? She's... moving very fast! Totally not because I neglected to animate that.
How can I better understand what's actually going on? In fullscreen (on 1080p screens, at least) A Combat Log is displayed in the bottom-left for you. This helps explain things like 'Missing' and 'Partial Hits'.
Metaprogression:
Idk why I crammed this in. Once you finish the game you can replay the yuri (for whatever reason) , and try out an even more excruciating "New Game +" style mode!

I like the artstyle, the pixel art is very pretty!
I really, really wanted to get to the end of the game, but jeez is it hard, probably invested 20 minutes into this or more, even when I had really good modifiers, it's mostly the hp you have, you don't get many items tbh and I can't seem to get to the end.
I'm not sure what the diplomacy button does, I'm guessing it's for the last enemy, but couldn't make it there.
The 2X damage modifier doesn't do 2x damage, it almost seems like it does half damage, and the Healing one just blocks out the damage of the enemy.
If you update lmk!
[my game has yaoi if you want to see that lmao]
I had to cut diplomacy last-minute, sorry for not removing the button for it.
I think the 2X damage has an issue due to the ‘partial hit’ system that was supposed to make it more random, so that’s definitely on me.
I could def change a few things to make it more fun, but I’ll have to wait for the voting to end :(
The buttons on mobile are abit too small, and unresponsive at times, also the enemies do little to no damage.
Hello, I tried to play your game but it feels like there is a bug, I can't move around or click.
do the arrow keys work? Unless you’re on mobile I can’t think of a reason why it would break unless it’s because of my display.
