So uh, I tried playing this. I'm intrigued by the general idea of it and I'm curious to see what happens. I liked the main character's sprite; her silhouette felt really distinctive. But she felt very slow to play as--I think her sprite's larger size magnified that feeling of slowness for me, psychologically. A run button would be really nice. It was also a little offputting to be able to walk into the doors of houses, but not actually change screens by doing so.

I did like the dungeon gimmick initially, but I got stuck partway through, on this screen.

The ? tile in the middle didn't work for me. I could step onto it and get the crystal to appear, but I couldn't shoot it without facing right--and the movement it took to do so would make me step off the tile. I don't know what the intended solution was, but eventually I tried shooting right, into thin air, and then very quickly stepping left to try to get the crystal to appear in time, which, wellllllllll...

You may notice that the protagonist is not in that screenshot. Doing that made her float north off the face of the map, never to return.

I think that'll have to conclude my run--I can't do anything from here except check the menu or restart, and the only thing I could think of to get to that chest locked me out of the game.
