Cute graphics, good music. Quite a nice project!

The hand drawn ASCII is pretty creative. I enjoyed exploring the world

Great little exploration game. The symbols on the bits of map you've visited (but can't immediately see) was a really nice touch.

Loved the mood of the game and the pixel art. Well done

Very cool take on roguelike (especially with symbols reference!) There is variety of items, but it's not clear what how to use for example wand. And it's not clear which items disappear when descending to next level (sometimes I keep hammer and sometimes not?). It's interesting that you can kite zombies due to their signalling before attack. Bumping into stone walls was hurting, combined with fact they're not very discerning from floor gray. Overall, I very liked art and music, and will definitely try again to go deeper, now i'm around 19k.

Cool graphics, but it is a bit hard to understand what's going on.

This game is a hidden gem. I don't know what's going on, but I played five rounds or so already. It's addicting to find out more about the game.

A fun little game! Interesting mechanics, decent graphics and sound effects, what more can one want?

I'm not sure the music really works for this type of game though.

Interesting approach!I like the graphics and animations of the game, good job making it! Peaceful music lol

Feels very polished. I liked all the mechanics, though I found the gameplay to be a little slow, as you've pointed in the known issues, as the rooms get bigger the size ends up being frustrating, especially when you are searching for a specific station and it turns out it's not on the level. Besides that, after getting a decent sword and other upgrades, the fights were pretty easy, even against a large number of zombies. The deep quotes were on a nice level of corniness.

I found it cute, and I really like the hand drawn text graphics vs the normal graphics. I found the controls / mechanics a bit mysterious (maybe I just don't have enough experience with roguelikes...) I enjoyed it though!

A fun little game. I love the classic roguelike ascii graphics for things that are outside your view area. It's not super clear how some of the mechanics work, but overall a fun little game.
