Super fun little rouge lite and wonderful design with interesting characters. Some bugs still and game crashed and wont load from save, so hopefully that will be fixed soon, but otherwise I like it a lot so far and am excited to see the finished work! To respond, as far as the bug is concerned, it was a random crash during the 3rd (winged) deck, about a quarter of the way through. There wasnt anything thing else I really can say about it, it just crashed going to the next portal and then wont load. My progress said 0% on my save file still and the time put in was at least 2 hours (again according to the save file) but I have since deleted that to start over. I wish there was more I could say, but it simply wouldnt load from the save after that and just gave me a black screen, pink courser on the screen but could not be moved and my courser with the spinny blue circle stating that to wait for the game to respond or close it, but the game never responded past that point and seemed stuck. I hope this helps at all!
nice game
