Claustrophobia: The Downward Struggle is an indie RPG roguelike, with a retro graphic style and a terrible sense of humour. The game takes place in a series of ever descending randomly generated dungeon floors, packed full of monsters to slaughter and loot to pillage. The game plays like a traditional roguelike, but with a clean UI, a slick, action orientated combat system, and a massive range of enemy types, skills, gear and room designs. With features like crafting, skill trees, characters development, and just-one-more-room style gameplay, Claustrophobia is a love letter to traditional RPG rougelikes. Create your ideal hero, build your own custom class, then set out on your quest for glory, slaughter, and anything shiny!

This game is pretty entertaining, keep up the good work.

The difficulty ramps nicely towards the end, but once you get your damage up it drops steeply. This is fine tho as that would
be around the time to move to the next level.

One thing, at around level 14 or so with a good 3/4 of the map uncovered, the framerate consistantly drops to near unplayble levels for me.
I thought it was a pathing thing from some mob trying to path to me after i have evaded him through a portal or something, so i made a good attempt
to kill all of them. At least im pretty sure i got any that had seen me. The lag did not ease up unfortunately.

Also, the teeth did not seem to work for me for some reason, and i tried 11 of them...Keeps stealing 0 health...
No gold keys located as yet either...

Completed at lvl 17, 52 damage main weapon (bow)

Looking forward to further content...

The lag is due to a bug where enemies and items are not disposing correctly once you kill/use them, which has been fixed for the next patch. I wasn't aware the teeth were no longer working, thanks for pointing that out. The lack of keys is due to that fact that there appears to be a massive lack of all uncommon collectables, and I'm looking into this.
Thanks,
