Hi everyone!

I've just released Dwarf Breaks Out, a roguelite brick-breaker you can play free in your browser, on desktop or phone:

https://yukajii.itch.io/dwarf-breaks-out

One throw, whole stage: a bomb build chaining through an entire wall.

You throw a pickaxe, catch it on the shield your dwarf holds over his head, and smash your way down through four acts of a mountain. Every floor hit costs a heart. Between stages you pick your route on a branching map and build up boons, relics and evolutions, until things get properly ridiculous.

- A branching mine-shaft map: digs, Rich Veins, merchants, forges, taverns, shrines and treasure

- 25 boons, 6 evolutions and 19 relics (plus a few nasty curses)

- 9 bosses, from a Stone Golem to a Deep Dragon, and a secret fifth act behind three Rune Keys

- 4 dwarves, each with their own Grudge super move

- 10 Delve difficulty levels, and a Daily Delve that's the same run for everyone

- Free, no install, no login: mouse, keyboard, gamepad and touch all work

A run takes about 10 minutes, and I'd really like honest first-session feedback: did the first run make sense without reading anything? Which boons felt useless, and which builds broke the game?

AI assistance was used in development, mainly for the code; the design, direction and playtesting are mine.

Thanks for taking a look! If you try today's Daily Delve, I'd love to see your share code in the comments on the game page.
