IMPORTANT: When fighting/moving next to more than one enemy, keep track of your HP because the combat message system can't keep track of cumulative damage you've received.

Wow man, I love this, still playing so I will give a more thorough review in a few min, but so far it's pretty sweet, I love the game Fatal Labyrinth for the Sega Genesis (not sure if u have played but alot like this) so i love these types of games man

EDIT: Alright, I played it a little more, and man it brings me back lol, I have always wanted to make a game like fatal labyrinth but have never rly gotten around to it, this is pretty sweet man, you should do an online high-score table, or if you want, when u finish this I will host it on my site with an online high-score table for ya

Thanks! Glad to hear you're liking it.
Yeah, I have Fatal Labyrint, and it's great fun.
EDIT: (Heh, I just played it to refresh the memories and you were right about the similarities!)

I agree about the online highscores for this one, but I also want to keep the local list as an option.
Anyway, I've never done online scores, so PM me if you know any good (not easily hackable) ways to do it.

Uploaded WIP 3:
I fixed a nasty bug at level 30. You can also get a bow from the store in this version.

[Lord Alfred]

Well my friend, you seem to be at it again. I'm expecting this to be another really great creatoin and maybe a staff pick.

Uploaded WIP 4.
Check changes from the first post.

And please comment!

[Zakiller2000]

This is a really fun game, but one thing I noticed. I was killed over a treasure chest that I hadn't open, and when I died, I randomly pressed X and opened the treasure chest even though I was still dead.

I see a lot of potential in this. =D

Edit: Also, I was wondering if you could change the Restart key to something other than Enter, please. I have a habit of pressing it, sorry. ^^;

I'll fix that, thanks.
Sure, I'll change the restart key.
Thanks for the support!

[Zakiller2000]

Are you going to add the ability to move diagonally afterward? It would be nice, considering the enemy can attack you diagonally, but you can't attack them diagonally.

Also, a save feature would be good later on for those who have to stop playing but don't want to lose progress.

[JTR]

I'll add a proper save system in a while.
They attack diagonally? I'll need to check that out... EDIT: You sure? Which monster did that?

Wip 5.
Now you won't starve quite as often.

[rinkuhero]

Funny, I was playing WIP 4 and you released WIP 5.

My high score on WIP 4 was 2519. I'll try WIP 5 now.

[rinkuhero]

For the record, I think the chain mail is overpowered -- it's probably by far the best purchase available (even as expensive as it is).

I also think it'd be nice if there was some stat customization at the beginning, such as getting 5 bonus points that you could add to HP, attack, or defense.

The ability to re-enter the shop while in the dungeon (perhaps every 5 levels or something) might add interest to the game too, that way you can spend some of the money you earned on more food and such. But that might change the gameplay too drastically and take away from the addictive formula you have now.

Victory!

I'll lower the chain mail Def from 15 to 10.
I agree about the stat customization screen.
I'll think about the shop thing.

Thanks for testing and the good ideas!

EDIT: You did it! Congratulations!
Can you remember what supplies you purchased?

I usually purchase the chain mail, one food, and a bow, so I think that's what I did there. Sometimes I get the chain mail, the shield, and food. Defense matters a lot, especially later in the dungeon.
