Pros
Pro Easy to pick up and play for those familiar with roguelike gameplay
Anyone with any familiarity with roguelikes at all should be up and running with the basic game mechanics within seconds.
Pro New experience every time
It's Minecraft, but roguelike. Awesome game.
Pro Game is in early dev, where new content is constantly being added
A lot of new content is planned. The game is constantly updating. No need to start a new game after each update. Old saves are compatible with new versions.
Pro A simple, binding-of-isaac-like roguelike
While there are no items, runes give you different power-ups, which is sort of refreshing. It keeps it simple.
Pro Fairly addictive
Coin collecting to get on the leader boards can be a lot of fun. Sometimes in a dungeon you have to risk your health for just one more coin.
Cons
Con Poor documentation
While figuring it out as you go is part of the charm of roguelikes, this gives you nothing at all. Press "new game" and go.
Con Resets to start of floor when app is idle for too long
Whenever you reload, it sets you back to the start of the current floor if you have had the app running in the background for long enough that it forgets where it was. More frequent saving would alleviate this problem somewhat.
Con Not a whole lot of content
Could definitely use some more enemies and bosses, and perhaps some progression as you go to the next dungeon like harder enemies.
Con Art style
You can tell the dev is probably going solo for the art. It is fairly neat overall, but some sprites are sloppy.
