I'll be real I just got this because it was 50 cents and the artwork is really cute so I'm glad to have it on my home screen.

What's actually here is the most basic implementation of something you could call a roguelike platformer with uninspiring level generation, mashy combat, and obnoxious Spelunky-like insta-kills from spikes that are everywhere. I wanted to finish this for the sake of the log but it isn't really worth that. Still, the adorable spritework and thumbnail art were worth the half dollar.

+ good pixel art graphics
+ nice concept with multiple playable characters

- overall felt a little confusing, unfair and frustrating, especially in the beginning
- combat is very basic and got really repetitive
- not enough difference in characters
- controls feel floaty and jump input doesn’t register sometimes
- uninteresting story… though some of the side characters were ok

It is kinda fine as far as rouge like indie games goes. But it could have been so much better, as it feels a bit confusing at times.
