The graphics and grid movement are great. I like the creatures too. I didn't really get much in the way of loot except a few items to boosted my stats (perhaps that is the loot). It was really hard at first until I realized you could actually spend your coins on stat buffs, so that simplified the already simple combat further and I was able to finish the game.
Short lived, but I think if it got some more features (spells, attack abilities?) it could go from good to great.
