Absolutely fantastically designed game, it really is. It requires real thought to survive – along with the usual roguelike dose of luck. I’m experimenting with different skills, learning how best to use items, ways to move that limit my exposure, etc. The levels themselves may not be especially interesting, but I seem to have several fantastic fights every time I play. (Along, of course, with a few “stand in one place and attack the enemy in front of me” ones.)

Slice a beetle into mush, level up.

It’s going to be amazing once, you know, it actually works properly. It’s pretty stable at the moment, but I’m running into odd problems here and there. In one game yesterday my health and energy refused to regenerate, which made for an interesting challenge. More annoyingly, after my best game ever the game crashed as I died and didn’t record my score. That was a bit of a blow and I’ve not gone back since. I will though – and probably soon.
