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 controls and replayability have been refined over the years. Whether the player chooses to play with Tiles (graphics) or console (ASCII) the game works well even when choosing online or offline play. Either way there is just enough interface to play the game.
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 Have to fiddle with controls
Being that the game uses an emulated keyboard on screen it works best on tablet, though is not really the preferred method (but is the only one) since it takes up screen space.
