This is an excellent little roguelike definitely worth the price! Yes it IS a roguelike as in a procedualy generated death labrinth. That means permadeath, but the game is short enough that you can jump right back in with no problems. I just got my first win and it was with the warrior but I can't wait to beat the game with all classes and find all the items. I was skeptical because of the small viewing area (you see 5x5 or 25 tiles at a time) but it works out after a few minutes of adjustment. Great music in the game and just enough flavor text on the items to make you want to know about the rabbit-warrior's world. I highly recommend this roguelike to people wanting to get into the genre but needing less of a time investment per game. Play this and the original Cardinal Quest and then maybe if you don't mind dying, try out Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADOM) or DCSS (Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup). One thing though, make sure your sound is low when you start the game as the opening chime can be deafening otherwise. You can change the sound in settings from there. Good luck and have fun!
A solid roguelike with lots of replay value. Game is minimalistic, like all true roguelikes. Definitely worth for seasoned roguelike players, and not too big of an investment for people who have no idea what they are dealing with. My only gripe with the game is that you can't move items in your backpack; a slight inconvenience.

You have to play this game! Constant Dev support btw. No issues running on Win 10 or 7. This is just a whole bunch of FUN. Play at lunch or down time or anytime. Multiple level types plus terrain variants. Cheap at twice the price. Pixel graphics zre clear NOT muddled clumps of dots. Sorry, I'm cutting this short so I can try to get past level 20. See you there you won't be disappointed.
Not very pretty on the outside, but make no mistake, this game is a labor of love. ♥♥♥♥/10
After 5 1/2 hours, here are my thoughts. Feels like an old Game Boy Color game. This isn't a bad thing though, it plays well. Compact game, easy mechanics and something you can play for a few minutes or a few hours. Pick your class, your perks, your extras, dive in and adventure! Music has that retro chip tune to it that fits the way the game is designed. The rogue-like element can actually make for some pretty crazy floors. Permadeath, while it can be frustrating, is only a minor setback in this game. There is some input lag, especially on the first couple of screens, but otherwise there isn't anything super wrong with the game. Also, the "one size fits all window" might irk a few people but it is a minor inconvenience at best. Overall, it's a solid purchase for anyone looking for a quick fix. Need more info?

Fun little dungeon crawler Nice chunk of enemies, the deaths are fair, though I see myself going for the exp bonus every new dungeon. All in all, give it a shot, form your own opinion on it.
A brutal roguelike with cute pixel graphics.
Just started playing game and i really enjoy it. O just bought another game from DXF Games and eager to try it. The game is cheap so why not get it? I like the music of the game and the storyline. Thank you for making the game A++++ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdZ5fVj0hjs
It's amateur Gamemaker titles like Equin which fuel me with a brief desire to pull out one of my development kits and create a simple, yet enjoyable game of my own I have to thank this developer for reminding everyone that 'amatuer' doesn't always have to be 'bad' and 'Gamemaker' doesn't always have to be 'shallow.' Among the hundreds of entries of greenlit trollware on Steam I would recommend Valve not to mistake this for one when they finally flush their toilet for good; I believe there can still be a novice section on Steam featuring quality entries like this one. We would've paid ALOT for this during the Colecovision era.
オーソドックスなローグライク。 ゲーム内のランタンシステムが奥深さを加速させる。 彩度の高いドット絵が好きな方は特に刺さりそう。 日本語非対応だが中学英語で十分理解できた。 格下の敵は戦闘画面へ移行することなく一撃必殺。ゲームスピードを損なうことなく探索できるのが好印象だった。 価格に対して綺麗な仕上がり。 ---------- キュレーターページでは、他にも多くのレビューが閲覧可能です。 ぜひご覧ください。 https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32044813 ----------
