Into the Dim 9+

Overall this is a good game. Though it was just updated so that not all levels were unlocked, I am here to talk about the difficulty. Some parts of the game are easy, but it's the little things that make the big problems. For example, the health whenever you die. I think it is unfair that you have one heart left when you die. Sometimes there will be heart containers nearby when you start a level, but since everything one shots you in those circumstances, it takes luck for no skeletons, bats, etc. to spawn around you. Another problem would be the cost of upgrades. I understand that the point of high costs would make the player play the game longer, but since it takes a while just to get 20 coins, getting 80 to refill your health, only to die again would be a waste of a lot of coins. My thoughts would be to make everything that is buyable with coins cost half the price (or more) cost , making it easier to advance throughout the game.

With its vintage graphics and cute storyline, what's not to love about this game? Dungeon crawler-type games used to be some of my favorite on my gameboy when I was younger, and this game does great justice to the genre. The first time I downloaded it, it would keep glitching and automatically take me to the boss level after the first two or three levels, but I redownloaded it and that glitch stopped. Besides that little issue, the game was perfect! Although I couldn't figure out how to solve all of the puzzles, I did have fun trying. I'd probably even be willing to pay a dollar or two for more levels. If the lost dog storyline could be more developed and incorporated more into the game, I think that's make it even cooler! I'm excited to start the game in nightmare mode now. 😊

This game has potential. At the moment it is terrible. If you lose your hearts you have to start again with 1. Your sight range is too small to “think ahead”. To refill your hearts you have to pay with coins. You find coins in dungeons but you get killed so fast because you have 1 heart and can’t get more coins to heal. You can also heal with med kits, which are guarded by enemies. You can’t sneak past them because your sight is small. Everything blends together to make it impossible to progress. If the developer is reading this, you spent all your time on design but not the gameplay. If you want people to actually enjoy this game, fix it. I get you want to make it hard, but giving people no chance to progress is artificial difficulty. Just make it to where your hearts reset back to 3 when you go back in. Then the game would be possible, and enjoyable. Good day
