By Arcturuss | Review Date:
I have not gotten hooked this badly on a indie game since FTL. This game is as close to perfect as an arcade game can get.

Its basically a castle-dungeon-explorer with an awesome twist. You die, a lot. and when you die you play as your child that can be any of several classes (3 at the start and they get more numerous as you play) and each child has some traits.. Like being color blind.. Or vertigo (actually makes you play upside down)

This coupled with extremely sharp gameplay, charming visuals and great level design makes my favorite game so far this year.

Its ridiculusly addictive and really hard to put down. You always want to do one more run into that dungeon, see if you can't make it a bit further, see if you can't get enough gold for some new upgrades

This little game is a pure masterpiece.
