Not bad! I liked the background music, and the sprites were decently drawn.

I only ran into a few issues:
- Maybe it was just me, but I felt the heart-shaped borders were a bit distracting (could make their colors a bit more dim, as to not take away from the important aspects of the UI)
- Water was a bit too difficult to come by on occasions, making it impossible to complete levels at times

Overall though, this represents a rogue-like game fairly well. Good job. :)

Played game on stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/asfunasfun

Water was hard to come by in level one. I couldn’t get past it.

It was fun, I find the tiny art great and the concept is also pretty good and engaging. LOVE that you let us hold down a key to move in a direction, I've seen too many button smasher type games. I would have liked the delay between moves to be reduced a bit because once I got used to the game it was a bit of a drag sometimes. The tiles are also sometimes too much its a bit hard to see the point of interest sometimes.

Overall tho, fun and great game.

Good work.

I love this game's aesthetic! It's very concise, from art to music and sfx. Even the tile-based movement and simplified UI contribute, which makes this game not only retro, but convincingly so. It really feels like a classic, retro console / arcade game. This is the first I've heard of Pico-8, but you definitely used it to create a strong and focused vision.

Gameplay wise, I found it a bit confusing to figure out what was going on. I couldn't figure out how to find ammo or water, or what the different objects were scattered about the map, so I died without much of a fight. The water meter also blended into the background, which made it a bit hard to see. However... that's probably all because I'm incompetent.

So that aside, it was fun flailing my way around haha. 

Pico games always look awesome and super cute! About complicating the game, imho it’s better to do the opposite, specially for a short jam like this. Leave what works and polish it over and over again. Adding stuff to a game always causes more trouble than benefits.

The game has good depth and getting to the water bottles before you die is a great mechanic.

I always love to see games made with pico-8 this one's music is so good and the mechanics are just nice, don't have much more to say, nice colors, artstyle and gameplay

Love to see a PICO-8 game, and this one has definitely had a lot of thought go into it. The desperation of dying 1 step from the next water bottle was what kept me playing for longer than I expected to.

I like the style and the music, although I agree that it’s sometimes hard to pick out elements or text because of the palettes.

Overall a good submission!

This is a really simple roguelike, for that it already gets a plus in my book. Despite it's also enjoyable.

The art is well made, but the palette quickly becomes problematic as graphics quickly blend together and makes quick reads really hard.

I'm not gonna talk about the music...

So overall quiete enjoyable :>

Very nice! I can tell a lot of effort went into the presentation. The sprites are great, however as the game goes on it gets increasingly unclear what is a tile and what is an object, the sprite colors start blending in with eachother. 

Gameplay is solid, though it is a bit easy to exploit by just staying on a floor and picking up swords to increase damage to insane amounts. Very good overall though!

Great job! I did something similar, however yours adds a little depth and difficulty, which is well done!

I really like this thematically the premise was good the aesthetics were good my only two complaints are the controls didn't "Feel" nice and the spawning didn't always feel fair.
