I found myself wasting turns and running out of points because I happened to roll way too much and go past the enemy. It seems like the optimal play for most cases is to not move and let the monsters come to you, since that way you won't waste a turn overshooting or undershooting on an unlucky roll.\n\nThe graphics are very charming and look quite polished. I appreciate the head-bob idle animation, which reminds me of Undertaker, and makes me think the game should have a bangin' soundtrack for the characters to jam to. (Given that the music & sound category isn't listed, I'm guessing I'm not just missing it.)\n\nThe interface works smoothly and doesn't feel sloppy or unfinished at all, which is impressive on the short timescale. I made it to about Cave 6; am I correct in guessing that it's endless?","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":669507,"author_name":"zerocomms","author_uid":"zerocomms","epoch":1619663948,"text":"Really like the tutorial.
