A compact roguelike that makes every piece of gear a serious survival argument.
The Ground Gives Way belongs in the roguelike conversation because it removes character levels and pushes growth into equipment, consumables, exploration choices, and fast dungeon adaptation. The run structure is what matters: it asks players to build a plan under uncertainty, then live with the consequences when the run turns ugly.
Example
it removes character levels and pushes growth into equipment, consumables, exploration choices, and fast dungeon adaptation
Why it matters
