Made in 7 days for the Dungeon Crawler Jam 2023 with The Demon Head Team.
ganthefan (Programmer): Hello again! Here is my first collaborative game jam with people from across the world. This time I did mostly the programming. What's cool about this project is that everything is true 2D! I essentially ended up writing a custom rendering system for this project (using Unity input and sprites mostly). I hope you are able to enjoy the unique 2D art style and animations!

the boss fight was super fun, even though the pattern was too predictable ;-; I think would really enjoy an extended version of this with more complex patterns and a bigger dungeon, and a big big double triple BURGER to anyone who beats the thing without taking a single damage!! <33 (sorry to bump >.<")
Quite the entertaining little game. Died twice learning how to actually play, then made it through the entire thing on the third go after I figured out how to learn what the pattern for each enemy was. The change for the boss fight pattern was entertaining, managed to win with only 1 heart left.
Great job :D
Sounds like you got a pretty exciting boss battle :) Thanks for playing!
Love the game, sick pixel art, especially the animations!
I got stuck on the boss, blocking didn't seem to work anymore :(
Yes, we need to improve the design to add some more feedback. In any case here is the answer.

Thanks for playing! Out of curiousity how many times did you try and what was the closest you got?
I died once on the way to the boss and then I tried the boss 3 or 4 times.
I didn't try more because the animations looked like he was attacking but my block did nothing so I thought it wasn't working right ^^'
I damaged him twice max...
Ok, thanks for the detailed feedback. We had limited time to develop this prototype but adding more feedback with clearer animations is a great idea.
A great submission by this team
Pros;
Great pixel art
Original design and UI
Simple to learn, simple to master
Cons;
Duality theme idea a bit scarce but carries through
Overall;
Short but sweet, a cute little dungeon crawler
