I think its a combination of just slowly learning the game (which you're already doing), and applying general rogue like strategy. I think the most critical thing most players miss in roguelikes is that they just play to fast, and don't carefully take each move when in dangerous situations. You pretty much have to take those situations like a chess game and really think through each move. Another big tip is to make sure your resting sufficiently between fights (though this has to be balanced with food consumption). Another important one is to use your consumables. A lot of RPGs have sort of trained us to never use potions or scrolls since we can always reload the game. If you find yourself dying a lot with an inventory full of stuff that could have saved you, that's a good place to consider improving. Finally if you use discord, I'm sure some of the folks on our channel (who are much better than me) could give you better advice: https://discord.gg/uC9m5wU
Love it. Only suggestion I would make is add a button to the screen when you finish an act called "Begin Next Act". Would be nice to not have to be sent to the menu after beating an act. Very addicting, simple gameplay.
I had a problem in the second area. The level progress bar gets to the end, and the boss never shows up...so I end up having to quit. One re-try reproduced the same problem. Decent game otherwise
the game comes up un-centered on my screen, blocking some of my spells and screen. is there a way to fix this? i tried messing with the zoom and it didnt work
