The save games were lost because I uploaded a new update. Sorry! That's just how Itch works. It loses data each time :/
If you want to save progress more consistently, please check us out on Steam!

That's understandable, but there is no download on Steam yet, so not sure how that would help me save. I think I'll take a break from the game after this last update though. It feels like way more of a struggle now, and less fun as a result. It could very well just be RNG, but I if it is, I'm having terrible luck today. Feels like I'm underequipped every attempt, regardless of loadout. Do the enemies do more damage now? I used to be able to dance my way to floor 10, with plenty of variety in equipment available, but now it's a trudge full of wooden swords. A happy medium would be nice. Still a solid game though, just not sure I'd have played as much if it had been this hard the first time I played.
