Your actions don't make much difference and the only thing that really matters is how lucky you are.

But it was really funny for me!"},{"author_name":"kratorspore","author_uid":"6762","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 3:01pm","epoch":1398696960,"text":"I found some nice aspects to this game. I liked how one of the key strategies was not to get surrounded and also I liked how the level became revealed once you killed all the monsters on it. Some different terrain would have been cool."},{"author_name":"Havacore","author_uid":"19064","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 3:22pm","epoch":1398698220,"text":"Nothing too special.  I tried attacking and lost most of my HP by the time I killed the guy, so being able to attack is a pretty useless strategy, and you basically just need to be lucky with where you're going."},{"author_name":"Tipyx","author_uid":"20954","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 3:45pm","epoch":1398699600,"text":"NEEEEED HEAL ! :p\r<br\/>I like rogue like, so I only can like your game :D.

It played well, I didn't really get why you could see the whole room after killing all the monsters though. I like how you get more strenght and armor and can refill\/strenghten your health a little bit, and how the enemies keep getting stronger too. At first I didn't get that you actually had to battle them, so the enemies were way over leveled in only 3 floors. But of course that's a good thing, because it makes you fight and strategize. Some music and sound effects would be good."}],"images":["ld29\/36102-e31c904f1356646e62796c549b849130.jpg","ld29\/36102-1c4d8488cdc63fdd2e3204aed8b0f450.jpg","ld29\/36102-26059ffa895c36de571ee31a910f81eb.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/osa5np1fj12vy0m\/Monster%20Caves.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/p32syrr8j3jwp0n\/Monster%20Caves%20Source.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"18210","g_author":"36102","g_event":"LD29","g_eventkey":"22","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"18239","g_title":"Monster Caves","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"1060","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/36102-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/36102-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/36102-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This is a roguelike where you venture deep into a cave and defeat monsters and find powerups to level up.
