I actually really liked this. If the camera didn't keep re-centering all the time, and the animations were smoother, I'd keep playing this.

Like the idea, good luck with this! It needs more in-game feedback for starters!

Man, there aren't very many Android games that turn up in LD, and most of the time they are incredibly awful. This game is definitely the exception. I think you've developed some cool mechanics and really have a solid foundation to build off of. I would love to see you continue development on this. It's such a shame that so few people are willing to try out Android games, because you've really got something worth playing.

What a good idea to make a roguelike for android. I think the way you did it works. Very simple controls.
If you decide to continue with this (which I would like) here are a few wishes: smoother visuals; the jumpiness of the scroll made it unclear what the movement did. Also put some more details on the character so you know which way it's facing. Some basic sounds would help, some more variety in enemies (maybe not only instant die?) And because it's for mobile, maybe less characters or a saving ability so you can play it more casually.

A lot of wishes, but I like your entry.
