Players grow stronger by purchasing items and distributing stat points they gain. The game contains over 100 unique items that are randomly available, which makes each playthrough a fresh experience.

My Experience

I learned a lot from developing this game such as scope management, level design, and enemy design. After publishing the game and watching players play, I was able to gain a better understanding of how to design enemies that are interesting and challenging obstacles to players.
The biggest challenge I faced was finishing and publishing the game. Since this was the first game I've ever published, an obstacle I had to overcome was when to end the development process and how to get the build onto Steam. Fortunately, I was able to reach a good point in the game's development, and the game was released shortly after.
