The little building-placement puzzle worked well with the other game elements and didn't feel shoehorned in.  I kind of wish I had more of an idea why certain adventures ended in failure, though.  It'd be really cool if there were a mini simulation of the adventure, even if only in text form, to make it clear what's happening.  Alternatively, maybe the dungeons could come with descriptions of the kinds of items\/abilities which would help in each, or even a percent likelihood of success.  As-is I was mostly guessing whether each dungeon would be worth attempting, and just \"maxing everything out and praying\" on the final one.
