Hello Stumpbeard. It is obvious many people want to play this game and are interested. Without proper tutorial and instructions, players come to play it then notice the problems and just close the page without playing. They automatically scroll down to see if the dev put the normal expected info there. It is not a big issue, but we can overlook the fact you used out of date azerty type keys xz etc and arrows for this game when most people in this day and age use qwerty. We cant even choose to use wasd if we want but that isnt a huge deal because the game is so small. I had a hard time with understanding the aiming part and it said to aim with A which makes no sense because you are saying also to use xz. Did you consider you cant aim really without a mouse or some of the other keys. My kb is a small one so I dont have a numberpad. But I think it would be a good idea to just allow us to use mouse only or the wasdqezc whatever to aim that way you can do it in 8 directions. But I think to solve all the issues because we love this game man, is to just allow the mouse to be used and give a short tutorial. Or allow us to rebind keys. You could expand this game srsly and put it for sale on Steam. Id pay 10 bucks for it.
Thank you so much for the feedback! I will have an update out soon with a tutorial and alternate keybindings. I'll make sure to message you when I do and I really appreciate the thoughtful message. Have a great night!
Hi, I am having fun with the game. However. I do not know how to finish the game. I bought the 4 items, and I dont know that the 4th one does (the one that looks like a bark from a comic).
I bought them in this order: sword, bow, thing(?), spell.
PD: Congrats! Less is more and you prove it with this project.
Thank you! The last thing is a hot air balloon, you can board it with Z in the overworld and exit it with X. This lets you fly to the dungeon in the middle.
Oh gosh, there was a bug in the previous version of the game that made the balloon not spawn outside the city when you bought it. Sorry about that! Fixed now.
I like the simple graphics, but I could not figure out the mechanics, it still looks like a cool project. Also the thumbnail is pretty well done, it looks nice.
Basic gameplay loop is walking around bumping into guys to kill them for money. Most tactical complexity comes from waiting a turn without moving with Z to manage your position, or holding Z to aim your attack on diagonals. You can get a stronger weapon, a ranged one, some magic. Ultimate goal is flying a blimp to the castle in the middle and killing the final boss.
Sorry there was no tutorial or instruction of any kind! I appreciate you taking time to play.

Glad my comment helped. It is a good short game!
