Hyper Dungeon Crawler

You need to get and play this game. It has far more depth and value than the price. I found this game by absolute accident. I was looking for a BASIC dialect for a game jam. I found BASIC8, also by the author. It was on extreme sale, so it was an impulse buy. And then I looked at other things by the author, because all of his stuff was on sale and cheap. I instantly recognized the tile set. I use the same one for game jam games. I think that this will become my off-day streaming game. I also considered the Bitty engine (used to make this very game), but as I want to write stuff in BASIC, and I have other engines that already use Lua, I'm good for now.

This is the groundwork for a really nice little game, and I did quite enjoy it for what it was, which is why I give this a positive review, but it is rather rough around the edges. Some things that would need to be ironed out before I can really recommend it: - The inventory limitations are quite frustrating without adding much depth to the game itself, and with a full inventory you can't even dig through walls properly which makes this extra infuriating. The many different foodstuffs especially seem to be just designed to clog up your inventory. - Permanent stat upgrade potions are super overpowered. The best strategy is to hoard all slime and all treefruit and use them for nothing else but permanent stat potions, and soon you can just punch bosses to death with your bare hands without even getting worried about your own health. The bonuses that weapons give you just pale in comparison. - Spells are extremely underpowered and only good for selling (but you can't really use gold to...

I’m digging this game so far, especially for the price. It’s basically exactly as described in “about this game”. There doesn’t seem to be any kind of character leveling or skill tree which isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker but either / both of those would make the game more compelling.

Some neat ideas but the gameplay loop is awful. Mindlessly knock down trees to farm the same items over and over again to slowly stat grind. Combat is mindless, maps are boring, graphics are ugly, Just play Alchemic Dungeon or something

Fun little game. Fairly challenging. My only gripe is that some stuff isn't explained. I see things that I feel like I should be able to interact with but I can't.

simplistic and boring. Run around and do barely anything for what? I couldnt find a reason to play. There wasnt a leveling system either.

Well, it's interesting to see what else can be done with this... Legend of Pomodoro engine :)

I'm a huge rogue/rogue like fan, so fits into my collection really well. Fun little game based on a brief play session. Need to spend more time to figure more things out.
