The Return of the Rogue (7DRL 2022)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Go as deep as possible into the dungeon (there is no overarching goal). Each level contains a bonus: either a weapon upgrade or a healing potion. Leveling up gives you +1 in strength (more damage) or dexterity (more reliable hits), randomly.

I found this RL very relaxing, which is unexpected and a bonus: you just have basically movement controls and an option to wait. This is much friendlier and cosy than the general complexity of roguelikes.
The structur of the dungeon maybe is too simple and samey, but I had fun for the few minutes I have played it.
Thanks for the kind comment! Indeed, since the gameplay is so simple, I tried to make the mechanics minimalist as well. The levels all have the same fundamental structure for now, but I would like to add some diversity in the future. This game is part of the 7DRL jam, if you want you can leave a review there.
A excellent game for a new developper !
