Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
- Explosions graphics are cool but they don't accurately convey the squares that were affected, and for explosive enemies you can't quite see if you were damaged by the explosion.
5 of 63 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
- good amount of loot, most pickups have limited durations (like x turns of invisibility - these have to be consumed in your 10-slot inventory, so you can decide when to use them)

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Some unusual directions have been taken with the gameplay, and while some aspects still seem roughed out, the quality of the art, sound, and interface design already feels like a finished game.
