I like the rougelite mechanics. I found myself wanting to take risks earlier on but didn't have the resources, so I had to play it safer. Later, I was able to explore further since I saved my money. It is quite challenging having to worry about both the timer and the enemies who can knock your health down. If you want to expand upon this game, maybe you can just have the enemies slow your movement speed a bit to hinder your descent? Just an idea. Overall, really cool game.
