I am really sorry, but I managed to spend only 5 minutes over this game. First of all, it's quite hard to tell what's going on the screen. Playing on stardard-sized modern desktop (ie 1920x1080) game screen is small and font is not readable enough. Game is real-time and fast paced, environment is busy, there is a lot of monsters and it's quite hard to find the player character on the first glance - every element is white. In 5 minutes I managed to die several times before I even found out when '@' is. But even when I spot the player character fast enough, I wasn't really able to play the game. Enemies moves fast, player movement is not responsive and not reliable... I like the idea of creating real-time game that looks like old classic roguelikes. Unfortunately, the execution is mediocre.

This rogue-like? Makes sense. It's simple. Unlike NetHack. Rogue GOL's fun.
