The Tale of the Beardless Dwarf
You’re the first beardless dwarf of your people. As dwarves worship their beards, you’ve always been excluded. Remembering childhood tales, you’ve decided to take a journey after the Holystone, a magical stone that can grant any wish. You’re going to get yourself your beard at any cost.

Game Help:
Each time you use your pickaxe it loses 1 point of durability, you need Ores to repair it. You can find Ores inside rocks. If your pickaxe gets to 0 points of durability, it will break and you will lose the game and get a point punishment. All enemies kill you instantly, be aware.
Menu Help:
•Fix 10 pickaxe with 10 ore: you use 10 of your Ores to increase the pickaxe durability in 10
•Reflect about the journey: the character talks about why he is in this journey and tell a little about his life.
•Look at the map: Tutorial and Tips.
•Give up: you stop exploring the cave and receive points based on how well you did.
•Sleep: Sometimes you will need to rest. You will receive a bonus or a punishment for the next floor based if you had a dream or nightmare. •Continue: continue your journey to the next floor.

Really cool game! Just wondering: Did you design each floor, or is it procedurally generated?
I design almost every one, in some of them I did procedurally generated the floor layout and chose myself the elements positions. In other floors, I've copied things for the layout, I've used a Space Invaders enemy design as a map, a Pacman maze and I've also made a level Tetris inspired
That's really cool! I hope you keep making great games like this.
