Descend in to the Caverns of Shrug and battle an assortment of ASCII beasties in this action-based take on the Roguelike genre! Originally made for the 7 Day Roguelike Challenge, it's been given some fine-tuning for randomly-generated fun times!

this game has a beautiful aesthetic. very nice. it just needs more compelling/gripping player empowerment and mechanics. the ambient noise and synthy music undertones mesh well with the sound effects and lighting.

This game needs a good plot, better graphics and more upgrades. That would help it be much better.

I found no glitches in my short stint though the game. I don't have many ideas about improving it other than giving the option to go to a different tile set, since people don't like the old roguelike tile set, and standardizing the controls between leveling up and the merchant something as simple as right arrow to buy from the merchant. The game play needs a little time to get used to for people who're more used to newer games. For a game that's been slapped together in seven days it's wonderfully retro, atmospheric, and useable. I do like the fact that you can take points out and lower your level meaning once you've bought a level you can down grade with no penalty.

That's good, I played until I get bored and it happens at 3km
Is there something different after that ?
Graphics should be remade and a way to get a better line of sight

needs some story and more upgrades but a good time waster nonetheless.
