very weird, very cool! loved how retro this felt to play while also having such a unique concept.
Thank you! This is definitely one of my favorite jam projects for the reasons you mentioned. It's not for everyone, but a select few people really enjoy Katanirvana.
This is really cool! I kept getting viscously killed however, gonna dive back in soon! I feel like there's some cool stuff hidden...
The swap to the mundane other world was mind-blowing really, I totally did not expect that! It's like I chose an entirely different game right at the very beginning and it was like "ok, here you go!" and it really existed. Very cool, I'll keep looking out for your stuff!
Wow, reading an experience like this really makes me feel like the work paid off! Thank you!
If you're getting destroyed, I suggest trying the d20 modifiers, especially the evasive one. Enjoy the rest of the game! :)
This is lit! Hope to see some more of it!
Happy to hear you enjoy it! If we get a bigger response, maybe we'll post an update!
