It's easy to pick up and play, it feels a little bit more luck-heavy than I usually prefer, but at the same time it has a bit of a slot machine feel to it that makes you want to try again when you have some bad luck.

If you added e.g. foods and have hunger as a currency and allow player to rest for hp but become hungry over time then that would be solved without adding anything more than a separate rest button. Maybe also a climb up button if one got ahead of oneself.\r\rOther than the, well polished and nice."},{"author_name":"iJohnF","author_uid":"37343","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 7:48pm","epoch":1398714180,"text":"@local: thanks for the helpful feedback, and glad you enjoyed it!

Great concept, and the execution is great! I wish there was some way to peak at a room before trying to enter, seemed to me optimal strategy was to just try to uncover everything. If I could somehow make a semi-educated choice about which tile to check, I'd play the crap out of this.

The writing was fantastic and really made you want to keep clicking. Hilarious stuff. The art was beautiful as well.\r\rHit two bugs: one where I clicked a tile, found an enemy, but clicking the tile again wouldn't attack. Clicking anything else told me I was a coward.

There isn't much strategy, as i was just randomly clicking around the rooms and clearing out levels before moving on, but I had a good time playing it anyways.
