This is crazy in a good way
colordrops on HNI use NP++ almost my entire day, and this would be great for short breaks. Awesome job!
Severian on HNwow really a feel-good game
shreyaha on HNThis is great. Old school game dev where youd built the whole engine optimized for the game rather than using an over generalized mess like unity or unreal

Objections
Advertised as a roguelite rather than a roguelike
From 1 comment
It's funny that this roguelike is advertised as a roguelite and most roguelites are advertised as roguelikes.

I know engineers don't like marketing but guys please please put screenshots before anything Edit: okay I see them now but I quit the page once and I'm sure I'm not alone.
