Desktop Dungeons

I was wondering if anyone else has played this rather simple, yet fun, game?  It has a rather simple interface where the player interacts with the environment using the mouse in a standard dungeon-crawl type game design.  In fact, the enemies do not even move from their placement in the randomly-generated dungeons, adding to the simplicity of the gameplay.  What sets the game apart, however, is the resource management aspect of the game.  In order to regain mana or health the player has to explore unexplored areas of the dungeon which, since the dungeon in finite, is in limited supply.  As a result, the player must carefully pick his battles, save up unexplored areas for eventual health and mana renewal, and conserve their magical items.  All in all, I find it to be a rather fun game that takes less than about 15 minutes to play for each dungeon.

It comes in a freeware version and a full version.  Both versions can be found here: http://www.desktopdungeons.net/

Looks like it could be a fun game and one you can play for short periods of time.  Like maybe Rogue Legacy or Plants Vs Zombies, games you can do a play through for say 15 minutes or less.  Maybe Dungeons of Dredmore.  Rogue Legacy & Rogue Legacy being I think Roguelike games.
