I plan to continue working on this in the future in my free time. I'll be documenting my progress on my Youtube and Twitter. I'll also be making the source public on my Github when I'm done cleaning it up.
This is the first roguelike I built and goal was to create a simple stress-free roguelike you can play infinitely, but punishes you when you get greedy. You could choose to be aggressive or play passively and avoid enemies by learning their movement patterns.
Feel free to comment below on what you think about the game, and how many floors you were able to clear :)

Fun. I enjoyed discovering all the little aspects of your game and I think with a little work this would be a great coffee break type of game!
The shops are very hit or miss, went through 3 times and got pretty deep without seeing any, then on my last playthrough had one at level 2 and another at level 3.
I think a high score mechanic to try to beat your last run would make this way more interesting.
Also, with the graphical style you chose, not making the alien look like a space invader is truly a missed opportunity.
Thanks for playing :)
Yes, the idea of the game was to build a simple coffee break roguelike.
I've fixed a bunch of bugs (which also includes the shop bug) since the 7drl, will be publishing a new version of the game soon.
Thanks for submitting!
