You are Robin Steele. Special talent - getting what you want.
After successfully capturing your one true love, you have taken her into your personal castle to spend time with her. Except.... things start to get hairy.

Wander through randomly-generated castle levels to find her friends and capture them to add to your collection of lovers! Open chests scattered throughout the levels to find powerups and bonuses to help you along the way! Just watch out, when you are defeated, whether a dream-come-true or a living-nightmare, has to be lived through from the very beginning.

A screenshot and video...

Will probably post more stuff, I just need to actually get off my ass and post this

Major things I need to pay attention:

* Portrait consistency
* Item-selection UI clashing with the game background
* Spawn rates
* Variety of backgrounds

I really like those ground tiles.

Where the walls meet the floor though, you need something there, it looks super disconnected like a collage. actually in the video you had a single wall i saw that had shadows: you need these everywhere!:  (http://i.imgur.com/51v3iiK.png)

I am checking my map data and most of these wall shadows are there, I just missed a few spots, or a hundred for the particular map in the beginning. Good eye.

Love the look of this!

I think it's way too dark in some places, you should at least define the edges a bit. You could either brighten the top of the walls or the sides by adding torches in selective places, or something.
