I enjoyed the game in general, and moreso once I figured out what I was supposed to be looking for with the puzzles. I'm not going to lie, it took me a really long time to figure out how to solve the puzzles without the QR codes. I went to the comments to discover that the clues were on the floor... in a much further room. I'd consider making the first clue a bit more obvious, like in the same room as the puzzle. Then later, introduce a statue or sign that says "the answer may not be in the room" (or something slightly more cryptic like "the answer falls outside these walls").
I encountered similar issues with HTML5 games on Kong before. The only recommendation I can give is to turn off the adblock (if you use it) before loading the game. Or you can try it on other websites. Never heard about this problem outside the Kongregate.

Wow, an actual Indie game, thanks a lot for this nice little game. Getting a lot of Zelda vibes from it, maybe I'll go start Oracle or Seasons or something.
That's weird. I heard about similar problem before on Kongregate. The only advice I can give s to turn off adblock (if you use it) while game is loading.

There are not enough keys. I finished the game with no keys left, and I was forced to buy one to continue (if there were enough keys, I would've finished the game with 1 surplus key)

Nice little game, but why is the window so small? You should scale it up or make a fullscreen option. The music is pretty nice too but I don't really know if it fits the dungeon setting that well.

Having to farm monsters for the gold to get to max health before a boss fight is super boring. There is a reason why every other game that's ever done this has health refills right there.
It's impossible. Quantity of keys is exact the same as the locked doors. You could've missed a key in the bottom left room on the first floor. Also you can buy one if you haven't done it already.

Fun little game. Didn't have nearly as much trouble with the puzzles as I thought I was going to have. Whole game took me like 10 minutes. Loved it.

Short and sweet, once I figured out what the "answer" the QR code was telling me for 2nd floor... Yes, it's optional, but it's also frustrating to have a room's treasure stare at you and not have an intuitive solution nearby, not 4 rooms away(like in 1st floor). Aside from that, feels like the sword range was so short that I always had to risk getting hurt myself trying to kill the enemies. The game has potential, maybe change the skill/items to Slingshot instead of Dash and enable ranged damage? Might enable new puzzles/interaction based on ranged triggers.

Solid mechanics. Dashing seems overpowered but I imagine you will introduce items to improve regular slash, blocking, etc.
Your main complaints will be about the "puzzles". I didn't get it on the first level and had to use the QR code. Second level I got it, but it wasn't fun. Backtracking and grinding to get enough money for a key to unlock the right room to know which markers I needed to activate, and then memorizing or writing down the pattern was monotonous. Obviously puzzles are a big part of the game so they need to be refined to find a balance between challenging and frustrating. You're on the right track but atm the puzzles are not satisfying.
Thanks for the feedback. I loved how you have to write things down or draw a map on a piece of paper while playing old DOS games. Hence I wanted to recreate this feeling. I knew that lots of people won't like it, so I made puzzles optional. They grant you health upgrades that aren't necessary to beat the game.

This game is great, and I get your mindset of letting people decide to get the answers, also, good pun on "Quest Related Codes"... BUT, you really should listen to your audience and rethink your puzzles, they are not intuitive (even knowing that the answers were on the floor, I coudnt figure out the first one, and even with the QR Codes, didnt felt intuitive enough. Should I type the numbers? That being said, take more UX in mind, and your game has great potential. 4/5

love the retro finish and enjoy most aspects but the puzzles arent puzzling just difficult to remember the order of. solid effort.

decent game, but your puzzles make no sense, you should put clues in the room, no one wants to guess witch random buttons should be lit, and no one wants to use qr codes to play a game.
But there are clues. Pay more attention to the floor (remember control hints). Puzzle hints are always located on the same floor where puzzle is. QR codes are meant to be used only if you need a solution.
