OMG I love it! So good. So nostalgic and complexity as well. I also enjoyed the looks of the game. What an awesom contribution to the jam! Stellar job!

I am astouned that this doesn't have more reviews!

Would you like to tell me what engine you used to make this game? Or didn't you use any at all?

A really, REALLY good game for such a short amount of time! Great job!

This is crazy for 4 days to make! Really like!

one of the most interesting and expansive games ive seen during this jam, would love to see more character customisation options. and considering the style of graphics, the particle effects when attacking are really cool! great job :)

I really liked being able to choose a class at the start — that was a nice touch!

The old-school vibe is great, and the exploration part is really well done. It’s easy to understand the layout with doors, hallways, and rooms.

It’s a bit of a shame there’s no music, as it would have helped make the experience more immersive.

Still, a very solid entry — and a huge achievement to pull off this kind of game in just 4 days!

Visuals and complexity are so great!

Wow, this is an impressively complex game for just four days of development — congratulations on pulling that off! I really like the color scheme and the ASCII art style. I'm curious which engine you used. The mechanics and the exploration of different areas were also a lot of fun!

Ty so much
Probably should have spent the time to add some music and story.

I love the visuals, the colour theme's great and the magic effects are mad satisfying. Great tight loop too

Insanely complex for a 4 day game jam! Sound effects and music would add to the atmosphere

Developer

Agreed, it's something I'll add if people like the concept.

Or I'll work with someone on the sounds as it's something I am still trying to improve on.
