Ernesto - A Quick RPG
A free to play desktop roguelite, and is actually quite addictive. Give it a try!
My high score is 67!

Description? Ok... It is pretty much a puzzle game where you need to plot our your path through a dungeon. Start at an tunnel, leae through another tunnel, and along the way collect as much EXP and gold as possible. Monsters grant EXP but also kill you, traps kill you, health packs heal you. That kind of thing. It is pretty easy to get to the last level, but the challenge is getting to the end at a high enough level to kill the boss. Also you can kind of turn back time, but you can't actually backtrack, meaning you need to be strategic about where you go.

More in-depth description than "quick roguelike", please?

It is kind of hard to describe, but done I guess?

I remember an old RPG/possible rougelike with a similar system.  You created a party of four, and needed to level up in order to beat the dungeon boss on level six.  You could go through the levels as quickly as you could find the exit to the next level, but once you dealt with the encounter in each square, you couldn't do anything else.
