Other than the “roguelike” part, a lot of this sounds like I Wanna Be the Guy.

In a way all games are “hitting your head with a hammer”. Some just have different hammers and maybe hit harder. But all of them have obstacles, difficulties, things standing in your way, enemies wanting to kill you. It’s just that some people got too used to the light hammers and look for heavier ones ;)

Every once in a while the hammer misses and you can play for longer! Edit: I say this as someone who actually enjoys the hammerface esthetic of Infra Archana. It’s been a bit since I played but I think it’s time for another round.
