I like the blend of turn-based decisions with the real-time-countdown.  I don't think your choice on being strict with the definition of a roguelike in regard to the graphics was a good idea (especially after you even dropped permadeath).  Having to read text in the corner of the screen to find out what's going on doesn't work too well in your game.  This way it is I missed any tactical stuff you might have added and just ran around killing things until I found the exit (which would get old for me quite fast if the game didn't have the perfect length for this).  What worked really well was how the last floor conveyed that it was special and the dragon was well identifiable as a boss."},{"author_name":"dekart","author_uid":"14826","time":"Aug 30, 2013 @ 4:16pm","epoch":1377879060,"text":"I like this game :) Didn't try post-compo version yet, but surely will do after saving my vote."},{"author_name":"anjack","author_uid":"20602","time":"Sep 1, 2013 @ 1:21am","epoch":1377998160,"text":"It feels like a complete game.

Your Speed stat slows down time for you, enabling you to cross more of the dungeon before you die of old age (I should probably have explained this mechanic in the game)."},{"author_name":"zanval","author_uid":"27706","time":"Sep 7, 2013 @ 9:31pm","epoch":1378589160,"text":"I made it to the dragons lair!

Especially with the movement (hold a key or smash it 50 times), its realyl annoying that the game is in turns but the time in seconds doesnt match it at all.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- The EXP. In the dragons cave I was too low level.\r<br\/>In the ideal playthrough, you will play a hero until he levels and then wait for the timer to hit zero.\r<br\/>If you die, you waste all the exp you earned.\r<br\/>Very frustrating, as the button hold VS smash problem cost me several levels.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall a great game"},{"author_name":"Antidote","author_uid":"27803","time":"Sep 8, 2013 @ 5:21pm","epoch":1378660560,"text":"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h-mi8pj54dA - My first impression on the game ^^"},{"author_name":"motty","author_uid":"25335","time":"Sep 11, 2013 @ 12:54am","epoch":1378860540,"text":"Love this.
