Anyone else play this game? It's soooo addictive and I'm not sure why.
I really suck at it too I can't beat the first dungeon even after 40 fails...
It makes me angry then I think maybe if I give it one more try I can win....

Aw yeah, I've been following this for about a year or so, and I'm a big fan. Derek Yu composed the first version together in a weekend, so I have heard. Once he realized he had something worth sticking with, he found a real artist and began significant changes a little at a time. Now it's a respectable title in its own right, and darn near perfect for the casual puzzle-gamer with about 20 minutes to kill.

It's a picture-perfect example of why I recommend creating "quick sketches" just as much as I would recommend straining with a massive project. These small ideas can easily be expanded, refined, and improved upon to create seriously fun games.

I'm pretty sure Derek Yu didn't make Desktop Dungeons, but I remember that he made a tileset or sprites or something.
