An alright game. The monochromatic theme is novel, but quickly becomes a logistical nightmare. Projectiles, doors, enemies, coin, and the player's own orbs are all the same color and roughly the same shape; this makes it impossible to keep track of multiple objects on screen at the same time.
I like the orb concept in general, however it is a little underdeveloped. It would be cool if orbs had to be replenished by killing enemies, or picking up coins, or if there was a timer visible for the orb regeneration, but it pretty much feels as if you posses infinite orbs, as is.
I couldn't tell, but the room generation seems static (i.e. no randomization). This is fine, just not what I was expecting from a rouge-like with 5 different classes to choose from. I accidentally found myself wandering down the same path and fighting the tank/bomb boss multiple times.
In all, a neat proof-of-concept, would love to see more gameplay and synergistic depth between the classes. For now, the classes all feel a little "samey."
Thanks for playing it, I agree the orb system could be made more intresting along with a few other things you said this version is very old and i just started working on this game again adding more visual clarity so ill take this review into account.

I want to try making a color mod, could you send me the assets?
I wouldnt bother for now as im going to redo a lot of the assets for the final demo patch. sorry for late reply.
when you do redo the assets, could I try to make colored versions?
yh go ahead after
Good game. Simple-looking but still challenging and fun to play. Good job.
Thank you for trying it out.
