Absolutely loved it! The dungeon layout, sound design, and music were all great. I also enjoyed the item progression a lot (starting with a dagger that works like the original LoZ, and then getting a sword with a wider swing), and I always love small details like that! Only issue I had was taking damage from enemies upon switching corridors. Glad this was recommended to me :)
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
What a great game, I'm really enjoying it. I'm having a problem on linux, where the arrow keys stop working during the game. The only thing I can do is quit the game and start again. Is there something I can do?
Thank you for the kind words!
I never ran into that issue at all, certainly strange. Was there a particular spot it stopped or just randomly?
It seems it occurs randomly. At different locations and after different amounts of playing time. I'm using an older version of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS which I plan to upgrade soon. Maybe it'll help, maybe a bug in an old library?
Fantastic game! I died on the last boss and thought I had to restart the whole game. Was pleasantry surprised that I respawned in the same room :)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
