The dungeon layout is currently divided into different elemental themes.

Tips about the game:

• You can have a maximum of 8 "active" items, which are items that you must manually activate. Active items typically cost some mana to use, which you can restore by clearing a room full of enemies or picking up a blue mana star. Each blue star represents 2 MP
• Grab bag pickups drop 1 to 3 other pickups
• Every floor has a secret room that is connected to two or more other rooms. You can bomb into these rooms in the middle of the wall
• Every floor also has a super secret room that is connected to only one "normal" room (not a special room such as a shop, boss room, central room, etc.) You can bomb into these rooms in the middle of the wall as well
• The first of each two floors of a particular element has a shop, where coins can be spent to buy pickups and an item. Shops require a key to open after the first floor
• The second of each two floors of a particular element has a blacksmith room, where you can buy permanent stat upgrades. Blacksmith rooms require a key to open
• Every floor has a treasure room, which guarantees an item. Treasure rooms require a key to open after the first floor
• Treasure rooms have a tiny chance to be replaced by a gemstone room, which contain a powerful gemstone item to pick up. In the future, gemstones will have a secondary function. The quartz item increases the chance of a gemstone room appearing
• Every floor has a boss room. Defeating the boss guarantees an item and a path to the next floor. Bosses are particularly weak to bombs
• You can bomb certain parts of the environment, such as small statues and rocks
