Entomophobia DX

Fascinating! 

I especially appreciate the cyan bugs neatly ordered on the itch-io page. Conceptually fun. Creative sprite work. Simple controls. What's not to like? Hope to hear from drgd_retro soon with the full title. 

W Pixel art, Reminded me of Pokemon >w<

Loved the atmosphere! :)

Okay, I love this!! 

Please do not flash #FFFFFF when changing scenes; it is painful.

Black would be just fine.

Otherwise this is pretty fun!

Well, that was pretty neat. I think what we have so far isn't quite enough to get a view of the shape of the game overall, but it's not a bad first floor section. The battle music is nice.

I assume that it's just a preview of the game systems, but the experience curve seems a little wacky - I was very easily killing every enemy instantly after just a single level-up so none of the first floor enemies were very threatening. I guess maybe if you didn't get the bat before proceeding upwards the enemies could wear on you, but it wasn't even draining resources from me because I acted first every time. Perhaps if nothing else an EB style "you instantly kill an enemy when you would otherwise instakill it and it can't dodge" mechanic could help, or something like that. Alternatively, the enemy types thing in the future could add more strategy I suppose.

I liked the item collection scenes, but I'm not sure what the purpose of asking if we want to pick up items is. If there's no inventory limitation then it only adds an extra button press to every item discovery, and we're already doing a bunch of item presses for flavor more than anything when we open the lockers and examine all 3 of them in turn just in case.

There weren't any major bugs I could see, except for the large ones running about the facility, but I did notice that if you walk back to the first room and examine the door from the other side it tells you the wasp is still there. I do find it kinda funny that we go through the trouble of taking a side path to avoid the wasp and then very quickly after start fighting the wasps as normal enemies, it makes me wonder if maybe there will be some sort of scary super wasp or something you could have show up multiple times as well as the first one in the game lol. The dreaded yellowjacket, or something.

Anyway, fine so far.

Edit: Oh, my bad, I didn't realize this was a remake of an existing game?

Good game. You can hide the cursor in the map and show the player position
