It seems if you do not release the down button soon enough after enterring the first room to the south, you get stuck behind a closed door.

But once you clear that, you get a decent dungeon with Binding of Isacc's control scheme! Fighting enemies is fun and the music is appropriately creepy.

I think the biggest credit to this game is the sound design, those are some satisfying sound effects!

Really like the monochrome look and good gameplay, but it is a little awkward how the character flips their direction back and forth while you shoot. Maybe just bind the direction the wizard is facing to the shooting keys, rather than both movement and shooting?
