Hi! I'm a solo dev and I just released Hybris: The Hundred Floors, a turn-based roguelite in pixel art where you climb a tower of Greek myth.
How it plays: no map, no filler. Each floor is one turn-based fight, then you pick one of three rewards: rest, armor, weapon or item. You only get one life. Die, and you start over from floor 1 with nothing but your records and your bestiary.
What's in it:
- 100 floors across ten realms, from a goblin camp and cursed woods to the Underworld and the Pantheon, then an endless Beyond for high scores. Each realm has its own monsters, a lieutenant on floor 9 and a guardian on floor 10.
- Ten guardians, ten different tricks. At half HP each one changes the rules: the Goblin King calls his whole camp, the Ancient Treant roots itself and grows back... and they get nastier from there.
- Two cells, one key. On three guardian floors you find two heroes of myth locked up, and you can only free one: Achilles or Medea, Cassandra or Perseus, Atalanta or Odysseus. Some pairs in your party unlock synergies.
- Loot that matters: six rarity grades, item levels, gem slots and random passives. Everything you equip shows on your characters in battle: 140 outfits and 150+ weapons, all animated frame by frame.
- Enzo the Mischievous, a merchant who shows up every five floors to sell, buy back, upgrade and set gems. He is convinced "the Mischievous" is a noble title.
- Elite floors when you feel lucky: one more enemy, harder hits, better loot.
Free demo (Windows): the whole first realm, the Goblin Camp: 10 floors, ending with the Goblin King.

What I'd love feedback on:
- Difficulty: do the first 10 floors feel too easy, fair or too punishing? Where did you die?
- Rewards: is it clear which of the three cards is the better pick for you?
- The Goblin King at half HP: did his trick feel fair, or did it come out of nowhere?
- Anything confusing in the menus or the combat screen.
