Does this end in the crystal forest after finding Balthar? I agree with your assessment on metroidvania and  classic rogue graphics, it makes for an interesting and enjoyable combination.

Yes, it ends there for now, but more is coming soon.  Check back or follow for updates on the full release.  Thanks for playing!
