Broughlikes aren't usually my thing, but this one really drew me in with the combination of theme (nice job!!!) and using your attack abilities as protection as well, while also being forced to upgrade to new abilities over time (to be honest this really reminded me of a core gameplay loop in my own game, even though it's a more traditional roguelike :P). I got an 86 on my first run, which I streamed and talked through here for about an hour and a half, showing my first experience with your game. Nice 7DRL, 10/10 would play a knife-wielding mapgpie of death again.
I love me a good new broughlike! Really well done. I got 60 on my first real try and really enjoyed the different combos as well as their fragility. Brilliant move to make the weapons the hitpoints.
Still, 29 points is still my limit. I wonder if the people at the top of the ranking are completely united with Magpie, body and soul, and surviving the harsh environment.
Fantastic! I love the cute magpie. I like how after a few games everything falls into place and you start "seeing the matrix" and getting an intuition on how to play.
I love it, the charming bird-in-a-garden theme, picking up little trinkets, and the puzzle of picking up items from specific sides is very intriguing. Impressive work for a single week!

brilliant
Is there another way to restart other than reloading the tab?
This is a really addicting game, it’s brilliant.
Gameplay video of your game.
Really cool strategy game, although I'm not sure what a "magpie" is.
It's a type of bird typically known for stealing shiny trinkets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magpie

It's difficult but very replayable and addictive.

I want to continue playing and become like that.
I love this! Really elegant and simple mechanics, but I'm still finding nuances and ways to get better!
nice mechanic, well did
this is better than zelda
WHY CANT I RATE THIS, I NEED TO RATE IT 6 STARS, SOMEONE MADE A ROGUELIKE ABOUT MAGPIES OMG
This game is so good I almost texted my ex about it.
This is really good.
Fun game. Please add key board controls for starting game & restarting so it can be played mouse free.
ok, I added them!
Thanks sunil!
One more accessibility request: show the weapon selections rotated according to which side you're upgrading. Great game!

I love this game, thanks for creating it!
Very fun. The directional pickup and attack mechanics reward a high lookahead play style.
