Under the Castle

Are the updates going to come to catalog?  If not, can I send you my catalog receipt and get the latest version without having to buy it again?  Great game!

Awesome polished game. But I found a gamebraking bug: you can heal indefinitely without using mana by wearing the battlemage shield and wait (pressing B) while in the hat. Makes the item way overpowered and progression stupidly easy

Fantastic game that is a must have for the Playdate. I enjoyed every hour of my playthrough. My only regret is having 3 items missing from the list of equipment (but I found the secret room... Hooray!). Congrats again for your work!

bought this on Catalog a few days ago, but wanted to hop over here to tell you what an amazing job you did on this game! it looks and plays beautifully! can't wait to see what else you do with the system!

I found a (thing I would consider a) bug! It is very small. Most people would never see it, since the only reason to do this is when you find it for the first time, but if you switch from the kite shield to the golden shield while in a level (not the item select room), you drop back down to 10 health instead of staying at 13.

Also, when I set the options to allow pressing and holding to move, sometimes I'll go two spaces and right off an edge. Not sure what's happening there.

Oh, and it'd be nice if I could end a run from the menu or something, say if I realise I've grabbed the wrong gear or the start of a run went too badly.

Otherwise, I'm having a lot of fun with this. It's fairly different from the roguelikes I tend to play (dungeon crawl stone soup is the big one, and is entirely too much for the little playdate), but it's cute and does some interesting things. :3

I'm a full time indie dev interested in remaking the game for steam/console/mobile

Ok someone help me out.  I have 1 more shield left to get in the Mines, but I haven't been able to find it 30 levels down.  I'm suspicious of some sparkling tiles, and I encountered a special room after falling in a pit which suggests that might be a solution, but I can't find anything that jumps out as having a shield.

really really loving this game, have had some few crashes but still such a polished experience.  the soundtrack never leaves my head I would love to be able to stream it.  Also, maybe im missing an item... but for the spirit orb collection level.  I have 8 available spots but have to collect 9 orbs, and when i was trying the run i got a freeze, so i wasnt able to question the run furtherr.  am i missing something?

great game!

thanks!

Really wonderful little pocket roguelike, and definitely one of the best looking and sounding playdate games to date. I wish I had taken my time with it, because I couldn't put it down and ended up clearing the main objective over two days. But I really loved it and loved that it was bite-sized. It also breaks down into smaller chunks, so you could easily spread out smaller play sessions over a couple weeks.

I did encounter a couple of crashes, but none that really cost me much. 

Amazing work! I'd love to be able to grab the soundtrack somewhere.

I had a the freeze happen as well.  I lost my level 5 run :C

Very much enjoying the game :)  I am however having freezes usually when i get greater then ~10 levels deep. It usually is when i pickup an item the character will freeze in the picking up animation.  Thanks form making a great game, hoping for an update soon. 

Truly one of the best playdate games out there. Clearly heavily inspired by Cave Noir on the gameboy, which is a perfect kinda game for the playdate. Since it came out It's been by far my most played game on the system. The polish is incredible. I haven't had any bugs - I'm up to level 8 in the dungeons. Really, everyone with playdate should own this game.

What an beautiful looking and fun game! I purchased it on catalog and am enjoying it thoroughly. However, I am also unfortunately here to report a lot of crashing. It usually happens when I have unlocked the exit but am looking for a little extra credit loot. I've lost the things I've collected and had to restart missions on multiple occasions..

If you're fixing bugs/things it would be awesome to have an "exit dungeon" selection from the main menu. Overall, I'm looking forward to playing this much more soon!

Great game (bought it on Catalog), but DAMN there are many bugs…

the last 5 runs crashed/freezed and i lost about 2h in total..

If you own a Playdate, this is THE GAME you should get for it. Genuinely is so phenomenaly well made, this isn't a game that's really good 'for the Playdate', this game is just extremely good full stop.

Play it!!!!!!! Trust me!!!!!!

Congrats, this is beautiful work.

Such pleasing sound effects & graphics.  I'm excited for this release.  I hope it's released today!

This game was announced to release on the playdate catalog. But it isn't on Play.date anymore.

What happened? 

I keep refreshing this every day I bet we’re close I can’t wait!

Just the perfect time for my playdate to arrive! I'm following your art for years @Dani, also having some of your "Seekers" prints hanging at my desk — I'm so exited for that game, super fitting aesthetic and great execution. Congratz to the Team! :)

This looks phenomenal, probably the most appealing upcoming PlayDate game I have seen. Really looking forward to it.

is this gonna be on catalog?

Whennnn?

My most anticipated Playdate game. Looks like a modern take on Cave Noire.

I love how weighty the attacks are. A lot of rogue games just have the sprites bonk together. Overall amazing style!

Genuinely gorgeous.

This looks truly awesome. Clearly a lot of heart went into this. Makes me pumped to get my playdate one day haha

Love it!

I'm adding this one to a collection so I can keep an eye on it, hoping some day it is ported to PC!

This looks so good!

I NEED this, it looks like I'd be playing a manga in real time... a dream
