After playing HD, there are some things that I noticed that I liked more in this game, like how spike pits seem a lot harder to deal with or the existence of the level editor.
However, the HD version still feels a lot more polished - but this is still not bad for a free game

This game is weird for me because it feels so close to feeling like a satisfying exploration game but it mostly just feels kinda boring

The specific blend of twitch platforming and split-second decision making makes this a roguelike that just always feels engaging. It's just challenging enough where it's hard to get bored after a hundred hours. But it's also fair enough where death only sometimes feels frustrating, while being fun to watch at times when you die.
