UnderMine

"For anyone who&s;s a fan of Rogue-like indie dungeon crawlers with a hint of RPG elements in them, I heartily recommend UnderMine. Even for gamers who don&s;t like indie titles, like myself, it&s;s totally worth playing. I&s;m pleasantly surprised by …"

"Overall Undermine is a really good roguelike with a lot of well implemented mechanics. Is it breaking any molds? Not really, but the implementation was well done. The environments are large enough that you don&s;t feel guided, but stages are …"

"It isn&s;t perfect; using the floaty jump as a dodge can sometimes land you in even more trouble, aiming your throwable pickaxe is imprecise, and some rooms just feel unfair. We also noticed some odd visual hitches, although these can …"
