A quick and consumable experience, very nice being able to play it in the browser...

Found too many items just scattered about, which puts me off! Less is more imho.

Nice for a text display, a graphical option/tileset would be nice.

Would be nice to see the browsergame ditch the predictable fantasy genre and go for something different.

But I can appreciate the faithfulness to the Rogue genre. Very well done.

Thanks for the feedback!

The item and monster generation system definitely lacks balance at the moment, they'll both be getting a revamp in the upcoming versions.

For Dance of Death, I'll be sticking to ASCII and a fantasy theme, though I am toying with the idea of doing a graphical game with a different theme as my next project. Overall, both the ASCII and fantasy genre narrow down the choices I have to make, so that I can concentrate on what I where I want to take the gameplay.
