Lords of the Underground Realm

Hello forum! It's my first time back here since being a new user - I've been off on my own, cast out from the world of regular access to the internet. I turned this game out over the last few weeks for the Jam, and I'm looking for general feedback in these last few days

I'm especially interested in answers to these questions,

but will appreciate general feedback and ways to improve!

• I'm aware the game is text-heavy - I'm an English Lit graduate, words are my speciality - if anyone can think of a better way of conveying the information I'd be very grateful! The next point is related, really:
• I'm worried the key concept of the game is lost - that you should use the passive abilities of other adventurers to help you survive. Folks seem to be losing fairly quickly! If anyone can think of a good way of highlighting or improving this aspect, I'd love to hear.

Anyway, it's good to be back, forum

instant classic! it's intricate, but hey that's the charm. you could highlight the passive skills with some hud alert, kinda: "OVERWATCH active" when the current chara gets near the ranger. that'd help the player to count on it, i think.

love the no-nonsense aesthetics and the midish music too. even the title rocks.

Thanks man - yeah, some kind of flashing indicator when the effect was activated would make sense. I'll see if I can work that in tomorrow morning. Thanks again for the praise! Check out the latest update
