It seems to crash at "Loading 98%" Complete and cuts off the bottom half of these letters. Is it because I am using chrome? I can't seem to play. Someone please help?

grab life spike, cannibalize, then get a book of warrior, get his survival talents(toughest, shroom, wpn shield, stonewall) he pretty much becomes the toughest tank.. dont really think any class or build can match that survivability as well as damage output.

I used the life spike and cannibalism combo as a barbarian, but I still managed to die, I was ganged up so hard by slimes in level 12...

5 stars just for being an actual roguelike and not the shit developers try to pass of as roguelikes nowadays. Aside from that this probably does deserve 5 stars as a game as well, though.

Great game. Played through a few times, although there's really no reason to build a powerful character because there's no endgame boss. You just make a suicide run up to the trophy and then you win. In fact, since you get experience for picking up gold and items, I'm pretty sure the fastest 'run' of this game would be going Rogue, pumping stealth, and never fighting a single enemy. Just run down stairs as much as possible and then grab the goblet, done. The abrupt ending also makes it all too clear that the talent system is sort of pointless; I've played through with all the classes and I can't remember the last time I saw a reason to use literally ANY of the major class talents in slots 4 & 5. Fireball, Lightning Bolt, Life Spike & Cannibalism, Charge & Power Strike are the best talents in the game by far. Low energy cost, huge damage, great versatility. Warrior is the only class where I purposely get a high level talent - 10% resist all is neat.

wow. kong, ftw again... i love how a simple game like this can lag. how bout instead of JUST running video ads on the page, you go ahead and throw some pop ups in there. insert ads into the middle of the games. and go ahead and run the commercial audio. actually you could run more ads if you didnt have these pesky games on the page. tha'd probably be the smoothest play...

Overall great game, but it would be nice if it wasn't "all or nothing"--like make it to lvl 15, die, and have to start all over with no benefit to the character you spent hours developing. Would be nice if there was some cross over, level up, or experience investment between play-throughs.

So... since there are enemies that deal ice damage, and ice damage stats for the character, does that mean there's an ice mage class coming? Because that could be pretty cool.
He was actually supposed to be the first new class released. But then Barbarian started freaking out and raging and no one wanted to say anything. After that I tried to do the ice mage but I was buried under a mountain of cheaply summoned darts and the ranger skipped out. I'm hoping with all that drama out of the way the poor ice mage can finally make his debut.

@cloa513 Press C, click on the item (by the corresponding area of equipment, like rings or hands), if there's a green border then it's equipped. You can equip 2 rings simultaneously.

I chug an hp potion and descend to the final floor only to be surrounded by three ice sentry things, two wolf cages, and some number of polar bears. RIP 40 minutes of my life. Also, turns out scrolls of fear don't work on the ice sentry things 8)

Shooting a fire mushroom next to some vines on the ground caused a softlock - I could look at things with the mouse cursor but the vine burning animation never finished. I shot it with the lightning staff, if that matters.

That moment when you come across a merchant, you spot a +3 shield, sell your +2 shield to buy that +3 shield, then that +2 shield in the merchant's inventory transforms into a +4 shield... This enrages me.
Hmmm, that shouldn't happen. I'll look into it. It might make sense to just not even bother adding the players items to the merchant. *edit* oh yeah and if you just buy the new shield the price of your old one is subtracted from the cost of the new one so no need to sell before hand.

Good game but now I keep encountering the sped-up enemies bug and it is ruining otherwise good runs, hoping for a fix soon. This is probably already known but it typically happens after a skeleton revives or an enemy who has fled later recovers.
Zeroing in on it right now, thanks for the heads up. Every bit of extra information I get helps to track these things down faster so please continue to report all issues.

elfenwarrior123 that not a bug thats a feature and its giving you one more unigue way to die. btw as long as you did not save inside the locked room, just reload page and restore the save game, you will at most have lost everything you did on that level.

Found a bug, or at least an oversight. It's possible to teleport into locked rooms (the ones you need keys to enter) with Scrolls of Blink, but if you don't have a key or another scroll you can't get out. That's one character down the drain. Please fix so that you either can't teleport into locked rooms or can open locked doors from the inside.

First finish! Started with a Fire Wizard, pumped Fire Magic and Focus for awhile, got lucky and snagged a Robe of Wizardry early on. When I could use Fire Ball comfortably often, I branched into the Warrior's skill book to get Toughness and Shroomology to bolster my survivability. Never used anything but Fire Ball and my staff.
Most likely, I'm looking into if its possible to just clear that one. Marche1 explained how he got his 13 minute run, so I'm like 99% sure you and him have legit runs. If you have a moment, could you PM me, what in your opinion is the fastest possible legitimate time? I've asked Marche1 the same question and since you guys are both on the cutting edge of times, I figured you'd both have a good opinion as to what a red flag for cheating is.

Does the Altar of Wealth scale in any way? I feel like it's not really a very good choice most of the time. It'd be more tempting if it offered something like a scaling boost to the amount of gold you receive, like +sqrt(dungeonfloor) per gold pile.

is it even possible to finish this game? i died like 30 times already.
once i was at the max lvl 20...but no chance only made it to 13/16 or something.
Check the score board. Lots of people winning, including some quite frankly insane sub 45 speed runs. Rogue-likes are tricky if you're not used to them though. Takes a lot of unlearning the habits of mainstream RPGs. I like to think of it like a game of chess where you carefully consider each move. I think for a lot of people this just isn't the sort of genre they are interested in which is totally fine. I believe there's room on Kongregate for all sorts of different games.

Fun game, but I was disappointed with the ending. It's just - okay, you're done! I prefer a bit more story. It'd be neat to continue into infinite levels perhaps.

Beat it with fire mage didn't make it in time for the medals and on the last level I had to spam the storm mage's stun skill lol

if you click some empty walkable space while using 'charge' skill, then time is temporarily paused for you to select where exactly to do you want to charge to. This is useful. However, one can abuse this to do speed run. because you can charge across the whole floor and skip it altogether. I suggest fixing by limiting charge range.

Pretty fun game you got here. It's enjoyable and pretty addictive. It can be frustrating at times though. Specifically in the teleporter style area where you spawn in a room with a bunch of enemies and no way to deal with them. The squishy classes just get decimated unless the mobs start killing themselves or you've got a good fear scroll or something.

I give. I can't do it. I really can't figure out how to finish this game. Good game, but a wall blows down and I just can't.

in answer to some questions here: picking up a skill book gives you a minimum of 2 in that skill, if you had one or 0 it becomes 2 else it stays as it was.
barbarion gives weapon skill, ranger is not findable yet but will almost certainly give ranged, warrior gives fortitude, rogue gives stealth and the 3 mage books give 2 in their own school of magic. sofar nothing gives focus.
starvation doesn't kill you directly, it merely makes it so you loose one hitpoint every several moves. the same will getting 10/10 cold on the ice levels do but that damage is a lot higher and it will also slow you.
enchanting can be done up to 5, but after that you can find upgrades for higher bonusses (or get them from scroll of acquirement). if you get more weapons or rings than you have room for you still have them (sell or use up so you get a free weapon spot, then save and quit and it will probably fill the empty spots with items you could not see but had. you can also enchant the items you cant see.

I find the game fun and challenging in general. What I don't find fun is the teleport and pitfall traps. It's one thing to intentionally get yourself into trouble and have to work your way out. It's another thing when you are randomly teleported into a swarm of spiders and have no way to defend yourself.

Would be nice if completing the game with one character gives some sort of bonus (even if minimal) that carries over to other characters and for repeat play. Might make it more likely for players to continue pursuing the game with other characters and to try and improve their times.

My fire mage on exploration mode engaged a crate at point blank range with his fireball staff in a room full of vines.

Hi, getting "CONSTRICTED" on Stairs gets you bound on it and you cant wait!! The only way to unbug this is to Save&Quit ;) This may apears by webbed too.

The game is very unforgiving. I died for the 4th time after 1 hour+ progress because of some surprising game mechanic. Since the game was probably made by 1 person it is limited and repetitive. You need to be obsessive to be successful in the game.

it's really something when you stumble upon sufficient bookshelves as a Necro in the early game to progress Talent -> Cloud -> Cannibalism, and also get Shoes of Speed. It's absolutely wonderful… until you screw up your spacing, get webbed, and get killed in one shot by two measly green spiders. I personally prefer the blitz approach of "let's just run super fast, kite the whole map, kill everything with staff bolts, and if it gets too much i can just buy some distance and Poison Cloud the whole thing," which works especially well in the undergrowth so long as you don't let any spider with more than your instant damage from your staff in hp web you.

With the new Talent Merchant, it's pretty easy to go over 6 active skills... but I can't find a way to use them. Bug? Or am I missing something?

When you're starving, you lose hp. As the necromancer, that can be managed for a while with Life Spike, but only as long as there are enough enemies to suck life from.
