I seem to remember some discussion (or at least mention) of Roguelight in the old forums, but probably buried in long threads. If you haven’t tried it, I recommend it.
You might guess from the name that it’s one of those once-you-die-you’re-dead games, but you get upgrades between your (quick) attempts and it’s not difficult to become somewhat proficient after a few tries. It’s one of my favorite indie games of the past few years.
Daniel Linssen also just created a game called Windowframe for Ludum Dare. In this one, you are a vampire hunter and can use your stakes to manipulate the frames of the game’s window. It’s a clever idea. My only problem with the game is that I’m no good at wall-jumping with my left hand while using the mouse with my right hand.
Linssen has other games that are worth a look as well:
I bought roguelight on itchio (wario’s lesser known associate) and maybe one day I’ll remember to play it! Glad to see people talking about it. It has a really cute look to it.
