Does Soul Miner use quirky features?

One or two, yes. There's at least one ILB (though for all I know I
might have let one slip through that's going to cause havoc later
on). By and large the most prominent "quirky feature" is the rather
unique visual effect that comes from a bug in the flashing
guardians. I'm looking forward to seeing that! ;-) There's also a cart-load of promised land effects scattered
throughout the game

Goodnite Luddite has a lot of Promised Lands - and even some
Forbidden Holy Ground - although I can't use the Promised-Land effect
whenever I want because there are only so many rooms with thick walls
at the edges! ;-)

I try to make the Promised Lands as delocalised as possible, or show
the player a room that they would tend to reach much later in the
game.
