Cool game idea. Please vote for my game.

Seems to be a bit unbalanced. Your actions don't make much difference and the only thing that really matters is how lucky you are. Try to add some more interesting choices to the game.

It was fun for me, but it's typical dungeon game, which is not anything new and does not include anything new. But it was really funny for me!

I found some nice aspects to this game. I liked how one of the key strategies was not to get surrounded and also I liked how the level became revealed once you killed all the monsters on it. Some different terrain would have been cool.

Nothing too special. I tried attacking and lost most of my HP by the time I killed the guy, so being able to attack is a pretty useless strategy, and you basically just need to be lucky with where you're going.

NEEEEED HEAL ! :p
I like rogue like, so I only can like your game :D. Too quiet, but the base are here :)

I also wanted to make a turn-based game :D
I like the idea and it is fun to play but it is repeating.
If there would be some kind of labyrinth it would be more fun. I think that it has potential.

reached level 9 :) - it is quite fun, but as Kragnir said, it's too much luck based for my taste.

Its a decent start to a roguelike, but you really really need some terrain and escape abilities or something. It felt like being thrown into a blender to see how long you can survive without being able to escape from the enemies.

What am I supposed to do?

Eh, its more or less just a typical dungeon crawler, with no real specific twist or usage of the theme. It was fun, but bland and forgettable.

Although I like the roguelike side, I could not go further than the 9th level because my character was either too weak or too damaged to continue; balancing a game can be pretty hard.
Some audio could have been nice, on hitting/being hit for example.

Not a bad game, kind of fun!

Neat. Really didn't get what was going on though.

Once I had developed a bit of a strategy I got 10 levels deep, player level 13. It played well, I didn't really get why you could see the whole room after killing all the monsters though. I like how you get more strenght and armor and can refill/strenghten your health a little bit, and how the enemies keep getting stronger too. At first I didn't get that you actually had to battle them, so the enemies were way over leveled in only 3 floors. But of course that's a good thing, because it makes you fight and strategize. Some music and sound effects would be good.
