Interesting concept and a terrifying thought to be trapped in a dungeon with no body parts but with the power of immortality. Really liked it, keep up the good work!"},{"author_name":"MMoffatt","author_uid":"30643","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 9:29pm","epoch":1387229040,"text":"Interesting take on both roguelikes and immortality. It was really difficult but I beat it eventually, which is the right amount of difficulty for a roguelike.

I found it to be pretty hard and got annoyed a bit at the fact that you can't really tell whether you're still standing on a trap.
