Not only do the AI helper characters that you dig out of the coffins look absolutely freakish and nasty, they've killed me way more than they've saved me. They'll get damaged and fly into me (knocking me into lava or spikes), teeter on a ledge and hit me with the item they're holding, practically anything that screws me over. I don't even open the coffins anymore.

Wow I cleared the first area pretty immediately and then went on to the shortcuts so I didn't notice at first, but the mines really suck. I am constantly getting hit by arrow traps because they're off screen and I scroll them onto the screen. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do when the thing shoots an arrow at me the exact second it becomes visible.

That and the lack of ability to throw things straight downwards. Like okay I want to throw something in front of this arrow trap but every single thing I throw just breaks against the nearby ledge. Guess I'll just eat the damage?

Mines are more of the same from 1 to me, but I think the mole rats can just get like.. coded out of the game and I wouldn't mind at all.

Oh yeah gotta love the moles. You got damaged because you walked near a cloud of dust in a wall that instantaneously popped out.

Sometimes I feel like this game goes too far in the direction of "eh it's a roguelike, it's fine if the game is full of unavoidable or nearly unavoidable one hit kills" Plus like people mentioned before, how visually busy it is that it's hard to distinguish things. A lot of times I'll just take damage from something I never even saw.

Like seriously, in the first level you have white piles of skulls and bones, white spikes with skulls among them, and skeleton enemies, which are just white skulls on the floor. It's maddening.

So can anybody explain why the dice shopkeepers will just randomly flip out at me and kill me when I try to play their dice game? It happens all the time and I have no possible idea what is going on.

So are there any solutions when you end up in an enclosed space with an axolotl? Or is that just the end of the run?

I only use d-pad and I think the turkeys are great for mobility. I use them until they die for whatever reason then I cook their corpse, it's good for the environment.
