The graphics are really cool. Like the cardboard 2-tone look and the feeling of moving through a hand drawn maze. The gameplay is pretty inventive, I was impressed with the kind of puzzle-maze mechanic and how uncovering the route is done.
I enjoyed the humor! Finding a spare brick in the way near the top of the tower was pretty amusing, and I loved how goofy the plot is. Also, I seriously appreciate being able to hover over the bonuses / curses on the left of the screen to read what they do a second time. I ended up getting softlocked when my chisel hit level 10; it jsut stopped swinging and progress came to a halt. Also, god dang, I almost checked every tile on the third floor with no luck finding the foreman, ha!

I gave it second try but ran into a different softlock while trying to go around a corner. I turned, but didn't scoot forwards. I think it had something to do with me switching tools before turning? The dude made me hammer decorations a second time after I switched tools but before I turned, but I don't think that happened on the turn where I softlcoked, so I don't know what to do to reproduce it.
Anyway, I liked the art and the dungeon crawling was good fun. Nice work!
Oh this is very good! I like this a lot! I am very much into dungeon crawlers, and this idea of an ever-changing layout is very clever.
My only major complaint is that the obstacles are kind of just time wasters, would have been nice to see a minigame or something in place of a loading bar.
