Putting a very nice twist on the auto-attacking roguelike genre, Death by Scrolling tasks you with outrunning the apocalypse on a vertically-scrolling screen. It's an absolute delight, but with little variety from one run to the next, repetition can quickly set in.

Death by Scrolling is a top-down roguelite created by Ron Gilbert. Simple and straightforward, but with several gameplay aspects that could be improved.
