Very fun! I remember the classic rogue but playing it as a sidescroller just makes it even better! I played this with my brother over and over again and we cant put it down! We had some fun times using the bleed rune on eachother , very fun to control minion and rogue at the same time.

I do like the 8 bit style, but I think a more fully fleshed version would really shine on Steam. The menu system can even work with consoles. I would totally do all the new art and port this to XNA myself... the game really deserves better than this tiny box on Kong.

What would be really great is if there was a Lore menu for runes, so you could use Identifying runes on other runes to get the details of their effects.

You can get the overworld chest early on by using the grindstone until you quicken, then landing on top of the chest.

Jiberish001: Looks like Heal Rune does heal enemies on weapons. And Stun/Bleed Rune on armor will stun/bleed you randomly for small amounts. It's very equal magic.

The hotkey system could have been better. You can't set it to areas in the menu, the map, for example. It would be great to be able to set a hotkey to the map, or even the armor/weapons section, so you could easily check out a new weapon

@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... :(

The game should save just before you go home. I was told I couldn't take items, so I figured there would be more game play later. So I dumped all my items only to find that the last save was before that, so I wasn't able to take my good stuff to the post game.

Ran into a bug: If your last menu selection was a quest that you just completed, the quest is removed from the menu and the menu doesn't work anymore.

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.

I assume the badges had the Time Rune as well, and warped off to somewhere five minutes before I started the game. Still love it though. C:

This might be my favorite Flash game. I wish tip jars still existed. Note to players: stash your carried items somewhere safe before you end the game.

I LOVE this game! It includes one of the BEST menu systems i have ever seen in a video game. It's the most fun roguelike ive ever played, if not the most intricate and varied (that honor goes to Nethack). I wish the gods would quit turning me into things when i angered them XD my favourite moment was when i defeated a horde of trolls with some runes of bleed. While wearing a horde of bees as armour :D the setting and them and even the graphics are awesome and set the game apart.

I shot a door with enchanted bow by 20 fear runes. Then this game stopped. Don't shoot doors with the feared enchanted bow.

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.

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.

I'll need to stockpile and double-check rune effects now that I know the overworld trick. Undead on weapons looks like it might heal your minion through kill/"sacrifices". Not what I'd expect....

very addictive game, but the minion AI is probably the most annoying part of it. he constantly dives down pits when we walk over them, and sometimes sits on a higher platform while i fight an enemy below. the pit problem is exacerbated by the fact that he sometimes walks in front of you, which can be useful if you're low on health, but also leads to more wandering and falling into pits on his part. he also has problems with pathfinding when he's separated, mostly because he doesn't treat walls that dissolve when you walk into them as solid, so he falls into pits and is trapped by walls/floor tiles that lead down the pit or to a ladder.
i know that these problems can sometimes be solved by summoning the minion back, but he can sometimes go right back to where he was, into a pit or up a ladder. also, these problems occasionally happen when there's an enemy in sight, and that wastes valuable knife-throwing or bow-shooting seconds.

SUPER SPOILERS BUT HELPFUL, DON'T READ UNLESS YOU REALLY NEED HELP!!!!
Underworld portals revive your skele friend, opened by rune portals, floors that you have opened the portal at, using a rune of undead on an item and killing a monster (chance) throwing a rune of undead at a monster and then killing it.
If you go to the overworld and hit the cog on the right side till you quicken, use the height you get from it to loot the chest, its got something cool in it.
Don't die
