Okay I played it for a while. It's an interesting game and I see potential in it. I encountered a bug where on the 6th floor I died due to negative stamina (-1) just as I landed on a blue potion, I think. When the game said I died, it said I died after 1 Floor, instead of 6.

I feel like the collisions are off due to the size of the player and the perspective he's in. It feels like he shouldn't be blocked by things that are in the way of his head, considering realistically only his feet should be blocked. It also feels strange that he has to attack bags to pass them, especially when I noticed a goblin could just walk right through them. There's also nothing stopping goblins from walking in the space my head/torso occupies.

It'd be nice if there was some indication that attacking the monsters is pointless. I tried it until I died the first time I played. Actually, it'd be even nicer still if you -could- attack the monsters. It may be the less efficient way to play and you'll probably die sooner, but it'd be nice to have the option.

Anyway, good luck with the rest of the jam! I look forward to seeing how this game develops! :D
