Damn dude Im in love with this game. The retro graphics are beautiful. The random terrain generation provides an exciting new experience every time. I like how it keeps track of my deaths and wins. I haven't actually managed to win yet unfortunately as the random terrain generation usually screws me on the second level. Luckily there's a shop where I can get extra supplies in case I get stuck.
I love discovering what the items do. Finding out the use of the crosses was exciting like realizing you can push blocks in the old zelda.

I would recommend giving the shop an infinite supply of items. It sucks when you run out of bombs and the shop is out of stock.
Also can you make it so the game starts by clicking a play button with the mouse? Otherwise alot of people will be accidentally skipping the instructions at the start which also use a press of the space key to proceed. An easier solution might be to display the controls whenever the game is paused. Please don't reveal the secret of the crosses and whatever other mysteries you have included in this game.

I'm gonna have to give this game a 4.5 now, although currently it deserves a lower score, but I see you've been adding lots of improvements and this game has serious potential.

I hear people suggesting to improve bombs... I would say leave the bombs as they are, but give added functionality to crosses, like dropping them onto ghosts. I tried that ingame and was hoping for it to work, as bombs are too unreliable since the AI movement seems so unpredictable.

Otherwise, solid game, love the feel. Some more diversity in the shop might be nice?

Great idea, but a little slow paced. There ought to be more hazards (besides spikes and long falls), and definitely more enemies.
Maybe a compass showing you which way to go would be good as well.

The Scenery looks quite same-y, try to mix it up a little with different tiles. Waterfalls or something?

It's a nice atmosphere, though. I like how grim the dark cave feels.

I'm trying to figure out what the crosses and bombs do. Seriously, what are they for? I dropped several crosses at different locations, they didn't do anything to the terrain or the one enemy I encountered. The bomb is the same way, although I have no idea if they even work on enemies as it detonates painfully slow, meaning it's almost sheer dumb luck if you can actually get one of the enemy wraiths/specters/whatever you call it into the blast radius. I'll be nice and give you 2.5 for this, but the items need a bit more explanation as to their purpose, unless I'm just an unobservant idiot and missed that. If so, my mistake.

MNWS responds:

The bombs are for opening the level up and reaching parts you might not otherwise be able to reach. I agree the crosses might seem a bit useless, but if you keep playing and exploring you might find a way to put them to good use. Thanks for the review!
