I recently picked up BoI. I can't say I'm playing it all the time, but it's good to make a couple of attempts to beat it at the end of each day on the laptop. No luck so far, but I enjoy the randomness of the items you receive, which might or might not give you the edge you need to survive. I was once lucky enough to get Technology, Meat, Roid Rage and some other stuff which really made a good combination, but I still managed to get killed somehow.
Fun game, all in all. It reminds me to get back to Dungeons of Dredmor, which to me was just as fun, if not even more. Even though permadeath is optional there, I never turn it off, it just adds to the experience. I only managed to beat Dredmor once on Dwarven Moderation (Normal), I'm currently in the process of beating it on Going Rogue (Hard), which is quite a challenge and involves a lot of backtracking through previous levels for healing items.
