What aspects make traditional roguelike design enjoyable?
Roguelikes are one of the best genre for solo developer projects because:
- The graphic requirements are light
- Proc gen content gives you a lot of leverage in effort
- You get get a lot of depth with ascii art or (my preferred) simple tiles

Nice! after many failed runs I settled on a strategy of finding the level edge asap and then making a careful circuit round looking for the rune, resting to heal to save potions. On the final run I ran into a creature much tougher than the others that induced burning. barely survived, glad I took an extra set of potions, drank the lot to survive, then found the last rune.
Really nice, smooth, polished game. I can see this one becoming part of my standard rotation of coffeebreak roguelikes.
Fun, hard game!
