Pros
Pro High level of polish and addicting gameplay
Everything about Deep Loot shows a great attention to detail that shows a high level of polish including the addicting gameplay of diving just to get a little more loot to afford a new suit that wil allow for even further diving.
Pro Fluid movement mechanics
Every movement in this game is calculated just as one would expect in a roguelike and yet the movement is so fluid that it is not even noticeable. So much so that the game controls feel more like an adventure game than a traditional roguelike.
Pro In app purchases are non obtrusive and completely optional
Unlike most titles that utilize in app purchases and in game shops Deep Loot manages to pull off the perfect balance of free gameplay and in app purchases for in game items. Not once should the player feel forced or coerced into purchasing any items in the game.

The Android version of the game is a PC perfect port where in there have been zero changes to the gameplay or content. This is a full PC title on mobile.

Pro Good class choices that mixes up the strategy of the game quite well
There are six different available classes in the game, making for a different experience when each one is used due to their different skill sets.
Pro Controller support
Pro Fully supports all aspect ratios, so no worry about if the game fits your devices screen in full
Some games do not fully adapt to the wide range of aspect ratios available on Android devices (the 4:3 screen on the Nexus 9 being a standout with this issue) which leads to letterboxing of some kind. Sproggiwood does not have this issue as it support all aspect ratios.
Cons
Con Slow start
The game starts off slow and has a bit of a samey vibe. After about 10 or so dives the gameplay starts to pick up.
Con No immersive mode
There is no immersive mode in the game which means the navigation bar will show taking up screen real estate on devices that do not have hardware navigation buttons.
Con Some may consider it expensive
Sproggiwood is priced at $10, which some may consider a high price point for mobile, though the game is a full PC title and priced $5 under the PC cost. A demo would have been a good option to try the game out, but sadly there is none available.
