-Released in 2012 by Matthew Davis and Justin Ma. Addictive, and very well-done for its subject matter, but I fall into the trap of comparing it to other roguelikes and wishing for many of their attributes - the speed of Spelunky, the convenience features and strategic variety of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, the simulation of Dwarf Fortress.  I want my movement to have more meaning, and I want more strategic variety.  It might arise with more playtime logged though.+Released in 2012 by Matthew Davis and Justin Ma. Addictive, and very well-done for its subject matter, but I fall into the trap of comparing it to other roguelikes and wishing for many of their attributes - the speed of [[Spelunky]], the convenience features and strategic variety of [[Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup]], the simulation of [[Dwarf Fortress]].  I want my movement to have more meaning, and I want more strategic variety.  It might arise with more playtime logged though.
  
 I briefly met Justin Ma at Indiecade where he was showing off this game. Writing updated notes in 2021 I'm not sure what I was really criticizing here, it's a great game. Even better is their followup [[Into The Breach]]. I briefly met Justin Ma at Indiecade where he was showing off this game.
