I tried playing this a couple of times and I haven't been able to get any further than level 2 for this reason. Sometimes I'm even spawned in just a tiny square (exitless) room, which is a shame considering how elaborate the generated levels in this game can be.\r\rIgnoring those issues, it's still fun to play this game. It keeps things simple, which makes it enjoyable to just blast through. And the fog-of-war effect is excellent. I'm a bit confused by the controls for exiting a room, though; as long as the action still takes one turn, why isn't it just one key press? :P\r\rBut overall, this game does hit all the marks of a roguelike and is a cool experience, so nice work!"}],"images":["ld29\/29189-f287c3f28e78e63587e5834ba5096e6b.jpg","ld29\/29189-a65d7855bb0f81bcd394d3d889c88a1a.jpg","ld29\/29189-e41bba6eba57802d30e378779673d871.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/ry7fa9z8o7rwhuq\/Beneath%20the%20Town.zip","text":"Windows(EXE)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"19881","g_author":"29189","g_event":"LD29","g_eventkey":"22","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"19910","g_title":"Beneath The Town: LD 29 Roguelike","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"455","g_commentcount":"20","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\/29189-shot0.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/29189-shot1.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/29189-shot2.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Hi, I'm Nick and this is my Game 'Beneath the Town' It is a roguelike, where your goal is to explore deeper and deeper into the dungeons and kill the monsters inside.
