one of my favourite rougelikes to mindlessly sink time into. fun and frenetic gameplay loop with a high enough skill ceiling to keep you hooked, coupled with really smooth spritework and a nice soundtrack/sound design. also it's cheap asf, runs on dirt and only takes up 40mb of disk space - it's virtually impossible to regret buying this game man just get it lmao
Simple game mechanics with exceptional gameplay depth and replay ability.
A game in which you go down all the way and things try to stop you from going down, so you shoot them with your feet.
