For $1 this traditional roguelike is actually pretty good. It has a lot of features that you would expect in a more advanced game. There are some minor starting perks that will also change the appearance of your character, although the bonuses are not very significant (I think the dev should expand on them).

Some of the attacks can even interact with the environment - setting the grass on fire or shooting explosives. It also adopted a few modern features such as chests with 3 different bonuses.
