I am having a lot of fun with this game. I love the enemies and the items and the interface, it is perfect in that regard. The completely optional (but very helpful) ads are a great touch and are much appreciated. One critique I would give is that sometimes at low floors, much lower than what is told by the game, high-level enemies like Dragons, Javberwocks, or TekeTeke appear. These can cut runs short and I am confused over their inclusion.

Very enjoyable to pick up and play in small bursts. Like any other roguelike, it's difficult and the ratio at which you need to take a risk is much higher when you are brand new vs. when you have a good idea of what the enemies do. It's very possible to reach the 50th floor, especially when you can store items for later. One thing that may still be an issue is when you switch away from the app and come back: sometimes your progress is erased! I just updated it now, so I hope it's fixed!

Very easy to pick up and play with in-game tutorial and simple controls. Great depth in mastering item use in a limited inventory. Realistic sounds and ambient music add to the experience. ASCII text aesthetic opens your imagination with just enough animation to see what's happening. A great first rogue-like if you are new to the genre. Have you tired throwing rotten meat at snakes? Don't. AVOID DRAGONS UNTIL YOU LEVEL UP!

I really enjoy the simplicity and intuitive nature of the game, and the easy learning curve. One thing I wish for is a greater range of items and monsters to be incorporated into the game. However, one thing I thought should be fixed is the difficulty when it comes to finding food within the game. So far, I've only been able to find it within the ad levels and not as items in other levels. I also thought adding a currency system might be fun to try, but this is all speculation. Thank you.

This is amazing. Great gameplay to story ratio.The one change I would like to see is to buttons had a little bigger gap. Also critical hit creatures are really OP, ending game on the second floor and starting over being caught in a cycle,meh. And the most astonishing fact - this game doesn't have annoying pop-up ads you can't skip. I had a great time playing this. Thanks,sadak for gifting us with this masterpiece.

I had lots of fun playing this game. The mechanics are very simple and very easy to understand as it only takes a few minutes to figure out the basics of the game. As simple as the mechanics are, players are still able to come up with strategies that can maximize their efficiency in defeating enemies and balancing their stats. This is definitely a must-have for roguelike fans who are fond of minimalistic graphics as well as retro-esque music and gameplay.

Amazing game i love to play this during car rides. Very simple and easy game to understand, I also love being able to throw any item at creatues. It would be nice to have a little description area of all the creatures to memorize the letter of them. Also I would like an faster or simpler direction turner for shooting arrows or throwing items because if i tap too fast i cycle past it or maybe its just me i dont know how it could change. Overall great job! Amazing game!

I've been playing this for a while now and I noticed how repeated the rooms are being used... updates with simple room addition (like you guys did) would improve it... also if you guys can add a layer of puzzle, this game would probably become harder which either be good or bad... I'll recommend adding a harder difficultly after people beat the game that can be toggled... It would feature some new enemies (can be represented with symbols), the puzzles I mentioned earlier and a score multiplier

Its a great game i only have a coupple problems with it that are easaly fixable. One, the adds dont work, two, i wish that in the item library it gave more info than is provided than the item description, three, i wish three was more leveles and i wish there was a way to turn on an indecator for how far projectiles flew. But the game is getting many updates and they are all minor problems. Great game

It is a streamlined roguelike that does not expand the genre. That being said, it is a well constructed experience. The utilization of a too score dynamic gives you an incentive to replay over and over again, especially while waiting in a lobby. You a re provided melee, a bow with limitless arrows, magic scrolls and one square incendiary bottles as tools to defeat your opponents. Your character is defined by his equipment including the sword, arrows, ring and shield while maintaining hunger.

Great rogue-like. The only suggestion I have is that CHANGING DIRECTION REALLY NEEDS TO NOT CONSUME SATIETY. That makes no sense and honestly is very annoying. The floors should also be truly random and procedurally generated, not just a random pick from pre-designed floors. Other than that, I dig it.

Please add a small explanation to the settings in the settings menu. Other than thatz the buttons could be repositioned (or better yet, let the user move each button) but due to how simple it is the controld didnt grt in the way of me enjoying the game. Very nice, and very simple, down to the point.

Really fun to play while being incredible simple and easy to get into. I just wish that you could see a bit farther in aisles. Also, maybe move the compass button inside of the directional keys, and put in its original spot some "monster list" thing that lets you know what all of the monsters do.

How to set my country? How to get more food? Never seen a random food drop, I have to rely on potions and watching two ads. You don't usually go "up" in dungeons, doesn't one go "down" deeper into dungeons? How do I go back to the dungeon with the $ ad? Sword (melee) button looks like a pencil. Arrow button should include a bow and arrow.

Super nice roguelike! Reminded me alot of nice memories!! Nicely balanced but still really hard. I played for at least 10h and I cannot get good enough to kill a Dragon haha, I'll work on some new tactics for this but I love it! I would like a personal leaderboard so we can see our personal progress instead of seeing all of those Japanese who got to lvl 50. Keep up the good work!

Fun and simple, but keeps a good amount of depth. It's likely more so an old school Rougelike feature, but the random nature of the difficulty of floors can feel cheap if you aren't used to it and prefer a more progressive floor system. Good game, just for a specific type of rougelike fan

Jde. Sep 22, 2019     

I would give it 5 stars if it had a non free version without the watch ads sections, Im not going to watch ads, and if it didnt have maze levels that just waste your time. But otherwise its a good game the variety of enemies and items is fun and the contols are good.

Very fun game, hard but not impossible to beat. For some reason it uses 40MB+ of device storage for me, probably a little bug. Ads are non intrusive. Would be nice if you could rotate both directions.

Dav. J. Nov 15, 2018     

Latest update sometimes causes problems after watching ads. I've been sent back to level 1 more than once. Also, sometimes I have to leave the App to answer my phone or a text message. Why do you penalize someone for doing that??
