What a run looks like

All of this is in the current build and still changing

Three placesA forest, a castle and a belfry. Each run strings rooms from them into one dream.
Short seeded runsA run is short enough to finish in one sitting. The seed decides the rooms and the enemies in them, so the same seed gives the same dream.
PermadeathWhen Donna falls, the run is over. The next one starts from the couch.
Quick and heavyQuick attacks to poke and cancel, heavy attacks to commit. Chain them into combos.
DashesA dash to close the gap, a dash to get out again.
Fire, frost, stormElemental powers change what an attack does. Fire burns over time, frost slows and shatters, storm chains between enemies.
Rats, squirrels and bigger thingsRat soldiers, squirrel archers and captains with axes stand between Donna and the end of the dream.
