• Completeness

  It has no win screen; when I beat all the towns, I'm just stuck in the desert. The message log doesn't render in any resolution I try, even on version 1.2. I gave it a 2/5 for these issues.

  Aesthetics
  

  It looks OK. The controls make sense. 3/5

  Fun
  

  I got bored very quickly. There's no variety or progression. 2/5

  Innovation
  

  It's pretty basic. The desert theme is promising, but it isn't really used in the mechanics. 2/5

  Scope
  

  The scoring rubric says 2/5 is "not much more than a tech demo," which I think matches this game.

  Roguelike
  

  It's turn-based, you hit things, it might be procedurally generated. So while it fits those roguelike criteria, it doesn't really have anything else going for it. 3/5
