Pixel Dungeon

When installing AT a while ago, I have also installed another game from FDroid in the same spirit: Pixel Dungeon. It's a roguelike game. There's no big plot under the game like AT, you are just seeking further and further in dungeon levels.
But there is nice things in this game, especially the UI (see the screenshots):
But there is nice things in this game, especially the UI (see the screenshots):
- the animated title screen is great, with choice buttons settings, artistically design,
- you can chose between multiple characters, painted pixelized but tall on the screen,
- character is well integrated in the scene (no white border around like in AT),
- when the characters move in the dungeon, there's small animations, same for fights, same for monsters, same for interaction with part of the scenery (water, grass),
- there are side range weapons, with a mechanism that works quite well (weapon selection, then target selection for shot),
- in game interface is classy (small integrated action buttons, subtle battle log),
- move between rooms or between levels is fluent with when needed a small fade in, fade out (no gate effect à la AT between map tiles),
- inventory is simple but styled,
- a fog is displayed where you haven't yet visited part of the map,
- death is also scripted and rendered in a effective way (you feel the fatality!),
- fonts in the game are wisely chosen.
