What you'll build: dashing combat with invincibility frames, five enemy types and a boss with a warning tell, random floors of connected rooms, items that combine into builds, corruption that trades power for fragility, shops and a gambling altar, a full run loop, permanent unlocks, a title screen, sound, and an exported game.
