Is the pitfall trap too OP? (self.pixeldungeon)

I've played almost 100 runs, and two of them have been ended by a pitfall trap. On one hand, its existence helps keep SPD a punishing, unforgiving game in the Rogue-like tradition, but on the other, instant death is always frustrating. What are others' opinions?

Thanks for all the tips. Looking back, I think the problem is that I tend to move too fast, especially in long corridors (which is where I've found the traps). By the time I realize I've stepped on a trap, I've already taken a step. I don't know if I can consistently move slower, but I'll try.

I just found another one of these traps. Now, I noticed it, but I had only one item that might save me: a potion of honeyed healing. Fortunately, it did the trick!
