FastCrawl is a cool idea, and it delivers. If you're looking for short gameplay experiences or the dungeon crawling style appeals to you, then check it out. I've already sunk MANY hours into it, and even still occasionally pull it up for some quick fun.

If there were to be a FastCrawl 2, I'd try to steal some inspiration from Strange Adventures in Infinite Space. Some comparisons are apples-to-oranges (a SAIS game is much shorter than a long FastCrawl game, so FastCrawl could use a bit less randomness), but the rare cool events and wider range of final scores are just two areas that could improve FastCrawl.

Pawley has the basic mechanic down pat, and that's why you should check FastCrawl out. However there's still room to spice things up and get players excited, which could take this from a very good game to a great one.
