Metroidvania and dungeon crawler enthusiast (Wizardry, Might and Magic) and like early cRPGs overall (Ultima, Goldbox games), also read tons of scifi, fantasy either books or comics
Tried the demo, looks lovely, love the minimalist look, but I hate input switching as a major gameplay mechanic, just not for me, I just prefer one or two buttons max

Great to see this upgrade

One thing to mention, some of your older games on Steam can't be bought from Germany as they lack an age rating (due to some stupid law, any game without one is auto-blocked here), so nobody can buy Alien Splatter Redux, the original Jet Runner and Fist Slash

I usually cycle through my various interests, and when I feel a burnout coming on, I switch to doing something else, so I know I will eventually get back

The creator of this also did a mini-dungeon crawler a couple of years ago for a JAM, which is also free on itch.io

Not every game is for everyone and it's all subjective. I personally am glad for games that strike a chord very well with specific players rather than always trying broadly appeal to everyone. Means I won't be able to get into some, but the tradeoff is I'll be able to really get into certain others.
