You can even go and practice fighting against specific enemies and bosses if you wish. It all adds an extra challenge for those who want it. In addition to the regular mode with the main character, you also get to unlock several other characters, which seem to have their own unique abilities (for example one of them can only confuse enemies but not kill, another is only able to use bombs, and so on). The music is also amazing and will just drag you in to the beat. I think the devs pulled it off perfectly. I also really like the whole light-hearted theme the game is going for.

But you do learn to recognize the enemy movement patterns and eventually overcome them. At times you'll be lucky to find a nice weapon and other useful items early on, other times you'll just be spawning with enemies all around you. There is of course a fair bit of luck involved, as is pretty common with rogue-like games. You can even remove the less useful items from the dungeons via the janitor, so that there's more chances instead for chests to contain the items you find more useful. Some can spawn from the start, others require unlocking via collectible diamonds. You have healing items, weapons, armour, rings, spells, and even some unusual items. During your dungeon crawling you'll also come across a lot of items of varying degrees of helpfulness. For example, some enemies might be moving along a scripted path, others try to go for you specifically, some might stay still for 2 beats and then move on the 3rd one, others might move on every beat, and so on. The enemies each move to the beat in their own unique pattern, and you have to recognize it and adapt quickly.

Every zone has its own theme and enemies. You have 4 zones to beat, each one contains 3 floors and a boss fight.
