Super cute! I love the aesthetic, the audio is super nice too!
I'm not very good at strategy games so I found it quite difficult but I had fun none the less.

fun new concept, not much of a roguelike because there is no indicator of progress in the game

I barely understood  how to play it but I had fun.

you should be able to control the camera and move it around

Thanks for playing!

We think the game qualifies as a roguelike since there is permadeath, randomized levels, and you build a deck of ability cards from randomized options as a reward for progressing through each level. As far as progress goes, you have your growing deck, the levels get bigger as you go, and more enemies / player pawns are added. Plus, there's the boiling pot of water which rises a bit after every level, until the inevitable conclusion.

Also, you can control the camera by holding shift and using the arrow keys. Apologies if this wasn't conveyed well- not moving the camera makes the game a whole lot more difficult.
