I really like the pristine visual clarity of everything, lovely and engaging style! The gameplay is neat, but it didn't feel like there was a strong strategic component to how the blocks are mined. Perhaps starting the player near a lock or character in each floor could give more of a sense on an immediate purpose in leveling up to get a skill? The visual effects and sounds help to keep things lively, and the little story segments work well as rewards for your actions!

Hey, thank you for playing!
I think that right now the game has an interesting problem, which is that the levels are actually pretty structured but people don't perceive them that way.
I had an interesting experience watching a playtester -- they observed "There's obviously a pattern here, but I'm not getting it" and then carved out what I thought was an unusually efficient route through the level given the rules that the generator uses.
I am trying to figure out how to give a person like my playtester the feeling of having a sixth sense.
