The look of the game is great. I haven't done very well in the game but I've enjoyed playing. I really liked the rock/stalagmite pushing to remove the lava. I almost cleared a path before running for it due to the dragonling. Too bad there was another one on the other side.

Great roguelike! I finally won! Every enemy is unique and interesting, and the game is challenging enough without being punishing (except for the one time I was spawned in lava next to a dragon)

I think this is one of the more polished traditional roguelikes I've played for 7DRL, good job!

This is so cool, the world feels so alive and dangerous. The puzzling bits of rock/stalagmite pushing work really well. Here's my interesting gameplay tidbit: I had recently entered the outside of the lair, and I saw two dragonlings in front of me. I got surprised by a magma spill to my right that immediately cut off my escape route. I took a couple hits from one of their fiery area attacks and a couple direct hits, but a convenient cascade of the water slick underscores transported me far away from danger. I died only a few steps later, but it's so cool to see these sorts of events come together in a run.

Really, really well done. Bonus points for nailing the true-to-life mechanic of having more money resulting in less anxiety.

This is beautiful and fun to play.  It's a very traditional roguelike, but unique in its focus on one highly-developed setting with a high degree of graphical and mechanical polish.  It strikes such a nice balance between a literal visual representation of the setting and a symbolic ascii-based presentation.  Definitely the best I've played from this jam so far.

Very well made! I liked how many different interactions you can have in this game and how well they fit together. The dragon's breath is great and scary at the same time!
And the idea of collecting gold to reduce anxiety is very funny.  :D
I enjoyed it a lot.

great!

Hey, gruebite, as I said before, this is one of the most beautiful entries and I cam completely hypnotized by the lava tiles! I loved the interactions between creatures and environment and the discoveries on the learning process are super enjoyable with that wow moment.

Very rogue!

I love the "graphics". The font/ the color palette/ the animations/ the lighting are great!

The controls are nice: very fluid movement.

Feels modern and cool! ... I mean hot, ... lot of lava and big Dragons.
