Thinking about redesigning whole game...

So... I'm thinking about completely revamping 99 in the next version into essentially a different game.

Ok, right now 99 seems to be in an awkward position. I think it is suffering a pacing problem. It's a very long game. Even with 27 levels it takes a good 10 hours. Essentially, I am thinking of making it a 4-5 hour game, What will happen is basically:
1. Each floor will be designed to take about 10 minutes to complete.
2. There will be stairways that allow players to skip 2 to 3 floor at a time, so in reality the player will only play about 30 floors per "run".
3. More rogue-like elements. Making the dungeon more randomized.

Still toying with the idea...

So if you've played this game, what do you think? Do you think you will like this better? Or do you like the current setup better?
