Is your game a Traditional Roguelike, as defined in the homepage of the jam?

Yes

Did you add Screenshots to your game page?

Yes

What aspects do you consider make traditional roguelike design enjoyable?
I particularly like the option of permanent death. I think it contrasts positively with what the market has become today, full of easy games for people who don't like the idea of losing. Perhaps this is an aspect that developers need to look back to the 80s for.

This is an implementation you can sink hours into, dying^W FUN on repeat. Especially in keep rolling on the character creation (or just embrace the party of peasants).

The map and UI felt nice, and I think they are better than most of the old games’ UI.
