### 1/5 — Unforgiving

*2023-10-26*

Tuff game.  Saw it’s type before.  Deleted.

### 5/5 — Very good game!

*2023-01-20*

Great game! I like to turn the music off and put on elden ring catacombs.

The simplicity of controls is amazing! very clean.

Also wanted to report minor bug: when kiting a skeleton on floor one, I stepped onto a trap which spawned skeletons. Was unable to move or perform actions, had to suicide.

Also sometimes I will swipe in a direction to move or attack, and it will take stamina away but not perform the action. Also happens with moving in the direction of a wall, when next to it.
