Well well well, look where I found you.
I'll definitely try this one ;)
As to why I made the game I made? Somewhere in me I always wanted to try and create some sort of roguelike-ish game with platforming. I also kinda wanted to challenge myself and create all the assets, so this was my first time using a music program (I used FamiStudio), and I think I did quite decent at that, even though they are simple sounds.
Here's my game, if you want to try it ;)
