Cute game!
Good job on the sprite work and the music!
And a persistent system plus save file in your first game is really impressive - that took me like 4 games to start looking into lol
I also like that the enemies have a chance to drop items to help during each run.
I have to second it gets a little repetitive, but I can see where the idea came in of trying to find the best route through all the rooms, and leaving them in order means the player doesn't have to worry as much about what room they need to be prepared for next, which randomization would take away from.
But regardless, good work, and congrats on your first game!
