❤ Fluid Platforming with Infinite Mobility

Players enjoy the game's unique platforming mechanics, which grant them infinite jumping abilities. This allows for a high degree of aerial maneuverability, enabling creative navigation through the procedurally-generated rooms. Reviewers praise the "weightless" feel of the player's movement, which contributes to a strong sense of momentum and chaotic action.

❤ Satisfying, Deep Combat System

The combat in this game stands out as "beyond satisfying," according to many reviewers. Players must master a diverse arsenal of weapons, each with distinct properties, damage profiles, and special effects like elemental damage or status ailments. Skillful players learn to adapt their approach, utilizing the right tool for each situation to overcome the constantly shifting enemy threats through precisely timed blocks and attacks.

❤ Unpredictable, Replayable Exploration

Every run takes place in a procedurally-generated dungeon, ensuring no two playthroughs are alike. Rooms, enemies, items, and environmental modifiers are all randomized, keeping the gameplay fresh and challenging. Reviewers praise this unpredictability, as it forces players to continually adapt to the changing circumstances, adding to the game's overall appeal and replayability.

❤ Progression Through Kitten Rescue

A key gameplay loop involves rescuing the nine cursed kittens scattered throughout the dungeons. Saving a kitten grants the player a permanent new ability or status effect, encouraging exploration and providing a sense of tangible advancement despite the permadeath nature of the game. Each new power-up from the kittens opens up new strategic possibilities and playstyles for players to experiment with.

❤ Challenging, Fair Difficulty

While the game is widely praised for its demanding difficulty, with hordes of deadly enemies and traps, reviewers emphasize that deaths almost always feel like the player's own fault, rather than the result of unfair or random elements. The game's systems, such as the infinite jumps and powerful shield, provide the tools for skilled players to survive, leading to a satisfying cycle of improvement through each failed attempt.
