About Wanderling
In this roguelike platformer, you play as the sandmouse to descend into a maze-like dungeon. Test your map-sense and mark your way through each level to find the optimal paths. Each day, you'll need to loot the dungeon and find your way back to the shop before night falls. There, you can purchase various upgrades to push further on the following days within the same run.
Besides enemies and traps, you'll have to race against time. Plan your route and rush through the dungeon to make it out before time's up!

Its a pretty interesting concept. I went for 100% achievements, but didn't really play any of the challenge runs (like more enemies, 1 hp, more expensive shop). Has a few issues but the game is forgiving enough to overlook them. If you like novel concepts I would give it a try, but obviously don't expect anything too grand as its rather short and sweet.1 found this helpful
A hidden gem here! Surprisingly fun, sort of spelunkyish but more forgiving. Great controls, give it a shot for only 8 bucks.
A cute little exploration focused platformer with very fast runs. The main trick seemed to be to learning to use the torches so you can stay out at night much longer than you otherwise could. There is some element of luck but it's pretty mild and the way its never the same design kept it fresh longer than it would have otherwise. I got my money's worth at the full price.
Wanderling is a charming 2D platformer where the player plays as a cute mouse. It has a unique take on the roguelike genre - Instead of randomizing the dungeon each run, the player gets several days to attempt the same dungeon, after which it will re-randomize. The platforming is tight, the day/night cycle adds some well-tuned time pressure and player choice, and the randomized relics/enemies/levels mean you'll have plenty of dungeons to explore. Oh, and did I mention you play as a cute mouse?
A very smartly designed game that is both minimalistic and deep. This game really nails the level generation. The dungeon is random each time but it still keeps that handcrafted feel. A big recomend for anyone who likes exploration games!
Super innovative take on the platforming roguelite that's more focused on movement/exploration instead of combat, highly recommend if you like other games in the genre like Spelunky/Vagante and are itching to try something new! My favorite mechanic from the game was the torches, big fan of the contrast between exploring the levels and initially laying them out, and then hoping your past self was smart and generous enough with them to get you safely back home. Looking forward to what else Rosday's got cooking :)
