comments for Power Inherited

I think there isn’t a curse they just keep entering this dungeon and dieing

Aside from scaling of the game, this is a great demo, your main issue if you seek to expand the game after the jam will likely be the need to transfer from concrete stats to abstract stats (e.g. hit chance -> accuracy as a lot of the more powerful stats have a very hard limit), or crafting the ability tree to have interesting and powerful synergies. The main weakness of the current game is that it is a bit too rng dependent, after filling out the upgrade tree I did win the game on my first attempt, but I almost certainly wouldn't have if I didn't get the campfire as my last event. But making gold a reward for damage rather thank kills helps give the sense of progression for every run, and not getting caught up at the start waiting for your first kill, and creates an interesting interaction on the campfire where you have to make the decision whether the gold will be worth more than the gold you can damage out in the healed hp.

The artwork is super cool! Very hyped to see where this goes.

Enemy stats would be nice (maybe a upgrade later, just started)

If i had to resume my experience in early game :
"Ok, i have 85% chance to hit. Finaly i'll be able to hit a monster once every 10 hit now!"
God, i hate luck-based fights. Thank god you can get 100% chance to hit relatively fast.

seems kind of cruel to have healing be completely rng when fighting the final boss who is guaranteed to do like 20 damage

no scaling, would be good if it did since the game field is tiny

why does she do that when hit

me with 93% attack chance and 50% block chance watching my character not do literally anything for 5 seconds straight and die:

ps: very good game but short

Great potential

there were some artistic choices for the final boss

would be cool if the merchant had some randomness when selling gems. instead of always being 25, 50, 100, etc., there could be some variety (20-30, 40-60, so on). Adds a bit more strategy instead of just always buying gems when you can, and its satisfying to get a good deal on something

loving the pixel art - don't think gems should come up randomly tho
I suppose it would add extra benefits to lengthening your run and a layer of strategy in saving your coins, but also numbers go up = monke brain happi and gem upgrades r awesome 4 that

I wish the game would automatically choose the "only" option at events. Full health at a campfire? Obviously grabbing the money. A merchant but I'm broke? Just continue on.
Maybe the option to set actions to always take, where possible, for events. For example "always buy a gem, if possible" and then when you encounter a merchant while broke you just walk on.

The pacing speed is lacking just a tiny bit, but it's a fun idea, especially if more conventional RPG mechanics are added in the future, like basic inventory or health potions etc

Mobile view not supported

so proud of being in the same game jam this game was released!

I find the game quite endearing, short but fun play. There are probably quite a few issues that could be fixed but I personally couldn't find any so I won't complain, either way good game!

I like the art and animation. It's a bit slow.

I liked it! 👍
