I'm kind of blown away by the elegance of the design of this game: http://toucharcade.com/2011/03/22/forget-me-not-the-magical-child-of-pac-man-and-rogue/ (as have I been by Nyarlu Labs in the past)
What I find particularly interesting is that while I have seen a lot of attempts at stripping down the Rogue-like or bringing elements of Rogue-like to other types of games... only really this and Desktop Dungeons have felt elegant.
I wonder whether Desktop Dungeons influenced or inspired this game at all?
Also I've been trying to picture what Nandrew's Desktop Dungeons would be like in real-time ever since he first posted it... This isn't thematically, or formally, anything like Desktop Dungeons... but if it were styled to be a bit closer to Gauntlet it might be very close to such a game. Or maybe it is just me.
