Story

Darkness lies over the snowy skies of Rotara. The once world renown cheese factories of the great mice empire have slowly been shut down. Where has this fiendish snow come? Some say powerful bird wizards from the north conjured it out of jealousy. While others blame fairytales, claiming Snomes (Snow-Gnomes) have invaded Rotara.

There is only one thing left to do, pass through the Gouda Gates and face the Trials of Cheddar. Rumors say that at the bottom lies a mysterious power, the Great Wheel. Could its magical powers counteract the evil at play. There's only one way to find out...

What an awesome game! I love it! ...I actually love all of y'all's content at Firith Studio actually lol.

Thanks so much! :D

Hello Goodgis. I watch your youtube channel and I found out about this game because of your video. And I found a Glitch. If you go to shop and there is two sheilds able to buy and you buy both of them you basically become invisible. And damage starts adding to you health. I ended the game at 22/0 (The zero was actually a blank) So the first Time I won the game it was because of this issue, Other than that, super fun. I have played hours mastering this game. Have a good one!

I love the difficulty here. Really fantastic stuff. I'm new at game dev and your videos have helped a ton. I've been wanting to make a roguelike similar to this but I'm not sure how to do procedural generation in gdevelop. Any tips?

This is great. I've always looked up to you Goodgis

Hey, thanks so much. :D You Rock!

Oh btw I am Keith Tendwayi Zimunya the one you always comments on your posts( well I guess not all the time but I love your vids:)

Found a glitch :( On level 10 the weird hamburger looking monster type hit me when I was 2 spaces away from a wall but because they get pushed back when they hit you it got stuck in the wall

Woah, thanks for letting me know!

I was in the shop and I was like WHAT SHOPKEEPER 100 GOLD FOR THAT and as a joke I hit him and then I realised OH GOD HAVE MERCY SHOPKEEPER LET ME OUT LET ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha

XD

Trying to play but the up/down arrows also makes the page go up/down.

Just go into Fullscreen. If you can't sometimes clicking the game screen helps.

How can I play the game?

Does the game still works?  when I click on the "exe" It appears in my task manager but it just doesn't open.

Weird, you might need to run as administrator. 

I've already tried, still doesn't work, but thanks anyway!

Sad ;(

Hi! Wonderful game here I love it! One thing, I accidentally hit the first shopkeeper and had to fight him to get the key, but the key spawned in a wall and i could not get it. Is that supposed to happen?

That's incredible! haha Yeah, it game is a little buggy I no longer have access to the file.

Not working for me :( I try to open it and nothing happens. A debug log shows up and says that the system can't find the specified file or something.

Not sure what happened. :/

:( oh well

I love this game, for the most part! Nearly all of the sounds are appropriate, the game plays smoothly, and the graphics are cute and well rendered. I like the intriguing key shape! I would be very happy to write music for the game if you'd be open to it. I did catch some problems:

Shopkeeper:

  1. There is nothing that says that moving into him attacks him (I moved into him because I wanted to talk to him...)
  2. There's nothing that tells you that you have to pick up items from the bottom
  3. The description only flashes for a split-second when touching items from the side, so you have to keep re-touching them to read them all the way through
  4. I didn't try it yet due to lack of money, but is it possible to pick up two of the same type of item?
  5. It should be stated in the Health Upgrade's description that it simultaneously fully heals you (unless this feature isn't intended and will be removed).

Dungeons:

  1. It gets a bit graphically weird when enemies can simply walk over pots or coins (their graphic should override what's on the ground, and pots should be treated as obstacles, or maybe they could be coded to break the pots too)
  2. When your armor takes a hit for you, it should make a clinking sound instead of a whining-down sound
  3. It's a bit odd to see some corners of walls get revealed but not all, as you travel and explore
  4. Due to the inability to wait (advance a turn without moving), I sometimes use a locked door to bring enemies closer to me. However, if the door is to my left, and a bat is two tiles under me (with open space between us) and I keep ramming the door, the bat will think I'm moving left and will keep oscillating left & right instead of coming closer towards me.

UI:

  1. Normally one would expect the game brand/logo (in this case, Firith Studio) to gradually fade away on its own at the beginning, so it was a bit weird to realize that one has to press a key to skip it. It also doesn't say anything about moving right.
  2. I pressed Escape to see if there was a way to save my progress at Level 13 or so, but it ended my game...
