Godd job, great game! The one key system was kind weird and annoying. If it was not for that i would play it for hours. I also wish there was some music.

I agree, single-key control made it feel rather slow-paced. Nice entry anyways :)

Couldn't really see the inspiration behind the one button gameplay, made it much more frustrating. Other than that, I loved everything about it. Very cute submission.

Very fun game, but I agree that the one-button system was an odd choice. Very good job, though!

Certainly innovative, but not sure how fun it is to wait for the right direction. It can get annoying/boring fast, because a game can have so much depth with 1 button unless it is action packed. Levels are basic and lack more variety. I'm afraid I didn't see it to the end (assuming it's not infinite).

Good game, but would have been much better without the annoying movement controls. I got to level 6.

Also, I would recommend not using installers for LD games as it makes it more difficult to run. Especially when the start menu shortcut is called 'MyGame'. :)

I can't run games that use the "HiDef" XNA profile :( Switch it to "reach" and I'll be able to play it.

Unfortunately, I don't have a video card that supports the "HiDef" profile :'(

A couple of things irritated me. I ran it from source, because I didn't want to run an MSI, and I didn't like the one button movement. However, when I hacked the code to give me 4way movement I liked it. I really don't think the 1 button movement worked. I hope we see a lot more roguelikes in the future because they are le awesome.
