Thank you for checking out my game!



Created in two weeks for LOWREZJAM 2023

   The restriction for this jam was for the game to run in 64x64 resolution (upscaling permitted). This was a fun challenge! I decided I like this sort of "compressed" look of taking images that should generally be a higher resolution and crunching them down. I love the messiness it can produce while still being evocative. 


   I sort of stumbled into this idea of a more classic dungeon crawler but with more dynamic combat. The project started out grid based but evolved into what you see here. While I didn't get things feeling as smooth as I would like and the environments are a bit sparse I am happy with how things went!




Some Known Issues

  • Game over / retry screen does not properly capture the mouse cursor. this can be resolved by pressing 'Esc' then moving the cursor back to the game window
  • Some audio glitching, particularly on scene transition (this is unintentional)
  • Enemies as well as the player character may continue cycling their idle animations when dead
  • If mouse movement is not being captured by the game outside of the title screen / intro, opening and closing the pause menu should fix it

The atmosphere of the game is incredible! I was able to play it a week ago and was really sold by the look of the game and how fun it is to go around this dungeon. This would be a great game to see expanded upon, too.

Great gamefeel and look!

What an atmospheric and fun lil dungeon crawler!! I love the spooky vibes and maze-like layouts. Really nice work on this!!

I'm happy the atmosphere came across! Thank you for the support 😊

Such an atmospheric game! The low resolution catered to this perfectly. It was fun exploring the dungeon and seeing what I could find, enemy or not! The sound design and sound effects felt very nice too. Great work!

Thank you for your kind words! I definitely would like to add some more mechanics to reward exploration beyond the healing fountains. I appreciate you taking the time to play it!
