I absolutely love the graphics, music, uniqueness and creativity. Couldn't ask for better. ### 5/5 — Brilliant Boil Down of Roguelikes *2021-11-24* This game is a brilliant roguelike that uses its simplicity to its advantage to create a robust atmosphere and world around a simple hook and flow of exploring more grounded areas and uses improvised weapons. The story seems interesting also. My only complaint is that I attempted to buy the premium version of the game, and it said that my purchase was successful, however it then said it failed in the game ui and I have not received the premium game. I lost the money and have a screenshot saying purchase successful, i cannot even restore it for free like it asks. **Developer response:** Hi! Sorry for that annoying bug. It has been fixed. I hope you will give it a try again! ### 3/5 — Can’t get past *2021-10-30* Loving this. Paid for it. But will not recognize that I did so. Fix? Happy to write a review after. **Developer response:** Hi! You made a purchase and nothing happened? This is strange. Could you please open up a main menu and press "restore purchase" button? ### 5/5 — Interesting vibe *2021-08-30* Neat game, well worth 99 cents. The atmosphere is very unique. I do wish we could learn a little more about the story. One note: In the final battle scene I retreated into the hallway and when I defeated the last NPC it crashed. I forgot to take a screenshot and don’t really want to play all the way through again. It seemed like perhaps the next npc to populate had no space. ### 5/5 — This is my favorite Roguelike. *2021-08-18* Please support independent developers like this person. Such a quality premium title is a rarity these days. Good work! **Developer response:** Thanks a lot, you are very kind! ### 5/5 — The Fine Wine of Roguelikes! *2021-01-20* The game is so fun! If you’re a fan of traditional roguelikes like nethack, adom, dcss, and even pixel dungeon, you will certainly appreciate the feel of the game. I haven’t gone too deep into it yet, but the way the game doesn’t explain too much but it’s simple enough to invite the player to discover stuff on your own (without spoilers, unlike some of the titles I mentioned before) is definitely great. And The art style is great! It looks retro but it has a lot of really nice touches, ranging from the dynamic animations to the truly great soundtrack. It is a true gem. One thing i think would be nice I is to give an option to customize controls, like a swipe gesture to control the movement or a tap the tile to move there type of options could be nice. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for such a helpful review and kind words! I'm still working on the game and there will be another update soon. ## Frequently asked questions about CELLAR ### What is CELLAR: Pocket Roguelike about?
