Seems to be a bit unbalanced. Your actions don't make much difference and the only thing that really matters is how lucky you are. Try to add some more interesting choices to the game.
I found some nice aspects to this game. I liked how one of the key strategies was not to get surrounded and also I liked how the level became revealed once you killed all the monsters on it. Some different terrain would have been cool.
Nothing too special. I tried attacking and lost most of my HP by the time I killed the guy, so being able to attack is a pretty useless strategy, and you basically just need to be lucky with where you're going.
I also wanted to make a turn-based game :D I like the idea and it is fun to play but it is repeating. If there would be some kind of labyrinth it would be more fun. I think that it has potential.
Its a decent start to a roguelike, but you really really need some terrain and escape abilities or something. It felt like being thrown into a blender to see how long you can survive without being able to escape from the enemies.
Although I like the roguelike side, I could not go further than the 9th level because my character was either too weak or too damaged to continue; balancing a game can be pretty hard. Some audio could have been nice, on hitting/being hit for example.
Once I had developed a bit of a strategy I got 10 levels deep, player level 13. It played well, I didn't really get why you could see the whole room after killing all the monsters though. I like how you get more strenght and armor and can refill/strenghten your health a little bit, and how the enemies keep getting stronger too. At first I didn't get that you actually had to battle them, so the enemies were way over leveled in only 3 floors. But of course that's a good thing, because it makes you fight and strategize. Some music and sound effects would be good.
