great game and pleasantly confusing - still I'd like to know what the hell is the undead rune supposed to do when cast on equipment.The greatest complain is no doubt the minion AI - he's too dumb to live or do anything really useful after floor 5.Maybe is it because of the "bravery" stat?he seems to flee everytime a monster tries to gut me...

I just discovered that our Minion is @, the player from the original Rogue. And the rogue you use here is the widow. I used a scroll of identify on the minion to check this. So yea, @ died and he is back as a skeleton.

Anyone know how to get full screen going? It's not working for me.
Good game. 4/5
5/5 if I get the full screen going.
Kongregate doesn't allow fullscreen games. You can download the game at redrogue.net and that version will play fullscreen and let you use the full keyboard. And it tells you where to download gamepad-to-keyboard input stuff for playing with a gamepad.

I don't use the bug report feature. I post bugs on games, not just for the Dev., but for the players as well. This is just my opinion but, if you don't read comments on your game, I don't think you're a good Dev.
Or, I could be busy working on patch 1.0.3.
A lot of people have been nice enough to email me bug reports with screenshots and error console data already and I've fixed a lot. No 'chieves just yet, need to have a confirmed stable release.

Yeah, I got that game freeze + item doubling bug a while back too. Only once so I didn't figure out why. But it was like, "Hey, free items!"

You guys keep posting bugs here in the comments like it'll do much. The developer stated in his official Red Rogue website that he'll only take bug reports on his twitter or email. Plus there's a bug report button right here on the game's kong page...

Just had a weird bug happen. I got confused, screen flipped, flipped back, then flipped back again, but this time the screen was froze while the game was still playing. By listening to my combat and getting lucky I was able to kill the monster and enter the door we were near. Screen still frozen. I quit to the menu and continued my game to find that almost all my items and item numbers have been doubled.

Infinite hp and xp if you go up on the first level. When you level, you can also float up and gain a good first weapon.

@Oleg: Golem face doesn't give "perfect armor & HP". It just gives HIGH defense and HP. Armors with undead enchant has a chance to revive you as skeleton when you die not just Undead rune. Eating identify rune reveals the whole map and identifies any unknown runes or hidden cursed weapons in your inventory. you don't have to wear monster faces & eat identify runes to figure out the info, you can just throw it at them.

Awesome game, I especially like all the fantasy references, once I saw the item named Brisingamen(yay Alan Garner) I was hooked,lol. Alucard the reverse vampire was in there too.

@Jib, I'm unsure about monsters leveling on their own without the use of a thrown XP rune or the Chaos effect from a weapon/rune. So far I've only ever killed monsters and they've never quickened on me without the above.

The bug I talked about in my comment just before this one, has corrupted my save. Every time I try to continue all I get is a black screen, with the HP, LVL, and action bars. It shows me as level1, but I was around 15 when the bug happened. It just hangs there, never starting. :'(

I think there is a bug that freezes the game when using old pocket dungeon portals. I was deep down and used a portal to the surface and then started to descend looking for the underworld portal to revive my minion. I came across an old pocket portal and when I used it the game froze just inside.

I have strong reason to believe that gear findings are directly related to your level. This also applies to polymorphing. For instance, polymorphing a weapon at level 1 will only result in either a knife or a gauntlet.

Do enemies have experience they randomly start with? And can they level up when attacking? Or was this just from the chaos effect? I Just died from a Mimic wearing a chaos helm that immediately sprayed quickening after we touched.

Is there ever a ending in this game ??
Down, down and down on levels
Cursed by the werewolf and all
Weird dreams and some shadow prancing
Yet died in horrible and funnier ways~

@The_Anonymus: You're right, the lightning weapon doesn't activate a quickening when hitting an enemy. I didn't test this yesterday because I thought I might lose the bolt if I threw it but, today I found that it can be reused as a throwing weapon and it shoots lightning as it flies through the air. It's awesome. :) However now I'm scared for enemies wielding a lightning bolt. lol... :(

@Toast: The Cog weapon has a built in "?" enchant (chaos enchant). That thing is made up of the same thing as the RNG (Random Number God) altar you use to get random things. So yeah, hitting an enemy with that may randomly cause enemies to experience the same effect as being hit with an XP Rune (quickening, Level Up, Temp. Haste).

No, no, this is strange. I was running along and I suddenly saw a vamp. So I quickly threw my cog at it and it suddenly got a quickening (saw it float into air, quickening style) and needless to say, I died...

The Chaos Rune or "?" rune that doesn't change names even when you eat an identify rune is very rare or a secret part of the game. enchanting it to a weapon causes random effects on enemies you hit/attack like quickening, confusion, bleed (poison), stun, teleport, and sometimes when you're lucky, it even causes explosions like the bomb weapon.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Monsters only quicken when hit with an XP rune. most of the time that kills you. Or if you're lucky you survive but the monster's level is higher and it gets a sudden boost of Haste. The Lightning weapon doesn't cause quicken when hitting enemies unless it's enchanted with the "?" (Chaos) rune.

@Toast_OfWar: I think you're getting hit with the special effect of the Lightning weapon. The lure says it's special is emitting quickening. I have one put I've yet to see the quickening activate.

Armor was the first thing I polymorphed. At first I thought it only changed the item's sprite because the item's name doesn't change. You have to check the description to see what it morphs into. I was right about sprites swapping when you're both wearing the "_" invisible armor.

Anybody have any idea what causes monster quickening? I feeling so confident this run and suddenly got killed by some vampire's quickening...

If anyone's wondering about "Elbereth" here's the fun special effect from a wiki: http://nethack.wikia.com/wiki/Elbereth. No it does not cause the "Your Fury Takes Form" effect. The "Fear" rune or enchantment does that to your enemies. It creates a red nightmare form of themselves that attack until dead or for a short period. The effect "He comes..." however creates a nightmare of you that attacks/chases you and can come from the sleep action randomly or with runes and enchantments from enemies.

if no one's figured out how to get the chest in overworld, level up and quicken, while floating up, hold right and fall onto the chest. So far I've gotten a +Fez, Harpoon, +Cog, and a Gun Leech.

enchanting a portal rune to a weapon or armor opens a doorway to a small pocket dungeon with certain enchanted items. eating a portal rune opens a portal to overworld that carries over in case you die so you can go back to that level. feeding your minion a portal rune opens a door to the underworld where you can steal death's scythe.

When you and minion our both wearing invisibility armor, your sprites swap. Is this a bug? It's annoying either way. :)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@jiiberish. no. you can't give your armor invisibility. There is just AN ACTUAL INVISIBLE ARMOR. There's no such invisibility enchantment in the source code.

dude... level 20 dungeon level 21 on dogmatic mode, 2 runed-as-all-hell lightnings and CRAZZY armor... so im killing something easily and carefully (cause lord knows with rogue likes you if you face your problems head on you die...) gave my minion undead weaponry so he could heal himself when he gets killed. ANYWAYS so im tapping the move buttons staccato so I dont die somehow... i told myself this is the life I will kill the balrog...
so a quiken comes from somewhere out of the shadows and kills me... in a 64th of a second... please fix that?

I had recently entered the dungeon... again. I had a hotkey set to some hearts, but I no longer had those hearts. I was fighting, and dying. I panicked and pushed my hotkey. Nothing seemed to happen, but then I soon found out that I had broken the menu. It would not open at all. Controls started becoming unreliable. And the worst part, was that doors no longer worked. TLDR; Don't push hotkeys for items you don't have anymore. :)
