Bitworld, anyone?

Pretty sweet little "roguelike", using the term vaguely as im not certain how roguelike it really is.
But, its fun none the less, feels a bit more like a zelda game.
Though i must say, the standout bit, for me atleast, are the sweet graphics.
I must say, if Dwarf Fortress ever had a legit graphic interface (Which i neither expect, nor have great need for) then I would picture it as this.
Minus the weird stretchy animation when you hold down the attack key.

yeah, it won some sort of contest too.
What do people find in this game anyway? Personally, I liked every game in the top 3, except that one.

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

I got bored after about 10 minutes because there was nothing to do but kill monsters.  No treasures, no nothing (except hearts and coins (?) from monsters).

There also was no map to help me figure out where I've already been.

Yeah, I didn't find much fun in the game other than "wowww look at the coool graphics" but slapping monsters with my sword in a comical fashion got old by the second floor.
Someone should take this and make it a TRUE roguelike, with dust writing, potions, scrolls, and everything
