Great

The game is really easy, once you memorize all the moves. It increases difficulty at level 10 and I didn’t expect you to have to run back down. 10/10 I love your games

I have been looking for a game like this for a long time

It has turn based movement, enemy patterns, and random generation. Most roguelikes have a leveling up system, so this is a good change of pace and I like it a lot!

Charming short puzzler; perfect time filler

It’s easy going in, much harder to leave successfully and winnable often enough to keep trying but rarely enough to be satisfying when accomplished.

The level of detail is amazing for such a minimalist game. This one will have a home on any iPhone/iPad I ever own.

Booooo

Once you beat all the levels, that's it.
Don't buy it.

More of a logic puzzle than a roguelike.

This game is more of a logic puzzle than a roguelike: there are no items to collect, no levels to gain, no meaningful randomness of any sort. Basically, you know exactly what to expect whenever you enter a level, and it's a matter of navigating your way through the space of possibilities to find the way to the next puzzle.

I found this mechanic refreshing and very enjoyable. The game is not long, but the $0.99 price tag is spot-on. Worth the money and I look forward to the developer's next game.
