The dog avatar is really cute and I think the music with the barking goes well with the dog theme while providing an interesting contrast to a more classic dungeon-style game. I played the game in the beta and I think the solution you came up with for the spiral staircase is an improvement over the previous iteration. I think the camera rotation is still a bit awkward so maybe one option could be to separate it from the avatar and allow the player to control the rotation with some controls. Also, the UI text was really small so maybe you could make that bigger.
