Game Strategy
This game is challenging and you may find yourself overwhelmed in the early game. There is a way around this! Try to look for the next floors' stairs first. then hunt down chests. If you run into a lot of enemies, you'll have a clear path of escape if you need it!
Sometimes you will run into a situation where you need to attack first. if you run across some objects on the floors. Bump into them to burn a turn so you can attack first!

I feel like the game has weird difficulty spikes, where it feels like I should be getting better equipment by now, especially during the early game where depending on your equipment you can one shot skulls or skulls are terrifying. It's a fun roguelike, it's just...needs balancing...very good overall, though, atmosphere is top notch
glad you enjoyed yourself! Yeah runs can vary wildly depending upon if the RNG gods smile upon you. Glad you enjoyed the music man, happy it created a great atmosphere for ya!
