  • Ok, this one is fun. The DNA mechanic is innovative and interesting, it also works really well. Once you have an idea of how the DNA stuff works, it's a little easy to game the system, but it's still a good time figuring out interesting combinations. Like, for example, OnLoseLife:Teleport is a real hoot and makes the game way more interesting.
  • This is an exemplary traditional 7DRL. It's very hard to balance a game well in seven days and find the right variety of enemies. This game hits just the right spot for me. It introduces a creative, quintessentially roguelike way of dealing with player and enemy abilities that invites the player to really explore and consider different approaches. The aesthetic choices completely work. The help text at the top is a nice affordance, the small map is adorable and readable, and the ability list on the right can both be read at a glance and is easy to interact with. I did feel I'd seen everything after about three losses and one win, so the scope is within a typical 7DRL, but I would love to try an expanded version of this game.
