the Book of Rage (Barbarian's skill book) doesn't give any skill points on being picked up. I know all the mage books give 2 points in their school, and I believe Rogue gives 2 to stealth. I don't know about Ranger or Warrior, but it seems odd that Barbarian as a skill book gives nothing at all when you gain the class.

Dumb-ways-I-Died-1 Running into a room full of maggots while being chased by a boa, and with no health or healing items... I had 4 of the talent books, and started with storm mage. +3 robe, helm of telepathy, good stuff... down the drain. ):

I don't generally like rogue-likes because they often scale the difficulty way too quickly. However, I think you struck a good balance with this one. Just found this game and spent the day playing it. Haven't finished a dungeon yet, but I did get far enough several times to not be totally frustrated with the game.
Each class is enjoyable (though I fee the rogue is lacking in talents), and I really appreciate that you can multi-class by finding/buying class books (and the increased, difficult choices of where to spend skill and talent points). I don't often rate games either, but I wanted to give this one props for rescuing me from the idle games that have sucked up my time these past few months.
Thank you for a fun and entertaining game!

Gaining two skill points for picking up a book but not starting with two skill points in the skill related to the starting class seems odd.

Love the game, but I've got to wonder. How do healing mushrooms die from being stepped on yet survive the blast of a bomb?

Hope the Ranger book becomes available as a random drop soon so I can finally win a game with the Rogue to get the full set

Brief review: GREAT! I like the feel of this, I like how certain classes are "easy" mode and others are "insane" - harkens back to the days of SNES RPGs like this.
That said, I feel as if Rogue needs a definitive "stealth" skill - not just boosting a stat - give them the ability to vanish, giving a guaranteed melee crit, and you've got a viable build now.
The magic classes seem to be much more powerful than the melee, though. I'd like to see an "easy" mode melee character.
Otherwise, thanks for sharing this awesome game!

capkloud: gold is for buying stuff and services, a guranteed merchant is on level 6, on other levels he can spawn too, later you can also buy skill/talent point and full heal/mana recovery + a nice resistance buff very late in the game if the right npc's spawn. In many roguelike games money only can be spent at certain locations, this game is no different

azathea I have finished the game with all 7 chars, no execptional luck required, though in the case of the rogue I chose to just ignore the class and wait for a different tome to drop. I think rogue is the only exceptionally weak class there is, though having played ranger with a helmet of telepathy I think I will go to keen hearing next I get a rogue book(unless I have the helmet again ofcourse)

please for the love of the game make items drop more....there is a serious lack of item upgrades in every playthrough and leveling up can ONLY get you so far...if you have reached the 6th floor and your main ability is still doing only 4 damage to enemies with 60+ hp because you havent gotten a single weapon upgrade there is a serious problem. I've done at least 15, probably more, playthroughs and ive only seen a staff upgrade once. Ive only ever seen cloth drop for the Mage, and every class other than the necro seems severely underpowered. Its not so much about player skill with each class, its that the other classes beyond necro really are underpowered to the point that its prohibitively difficult to play any of them. I love roguelikes, they are my favorite type of RPG/dungeon crawler. This game is awesome it just needs some quality of life tweaks.

i hate games like this. its fine to be "rogue like" but dont give me gold that serves no purpose or can only be used if i actually finish a dungeon. i have no idea what gold is for if anything as i dont have the patience to hope i beat the RNG bullshit factor that is this kind of game.

you've adeed a bit of text to the bottom of your game which means I can actually scroll up and down which probably isn't intended

Excellent game and a fine addition to Kong (and earned a spot in my fav-list). Slight balance difference between classes, however each class offers new ways to challenge yourself. 4/5 would die to slime again!

hi. im a ranger. check out my (non throwing) spear.
i kind of wish he would have gotten his own class of weapon- like a bow/ crossbow thing. adds damage/ may add cooldown to darts.

- Ice statues cooldown on their ice bomb was slightly increased (damn their hard). they're* In case you care about spelling.

The seconds portion of the time stat is listed as an integer, so you get numbers like [38:2] when it should be [38:02].

Ranger is probably the best class right now. Its damage is fine 11 at level 20 range lets you deal with those pesky undead worms. Im not sure how you could nerf it without making it useless.

just met a double speed bat (as in twice the speed of normal bats) boy that thing was fast, fortunately they die quick, I how to never meet a double speed wolf pack(move 6 wolves... OUCH

Ranger is pretty insane, finished the game on my first try with him. Pretty powerful class as the penetrating arrow also gives him decent crowd control. And being able to out-range towers in an open field means you can even clean out level 15 comfortably with him.

So far Ranger is OK but seems like you should either start with more arrows or more Focus. Right now I primarily use my spear (need to up melee) but also need to up my range for more talents but also need to up my focus because I only start with 3.

Why can I not mance necros as the necromancer? It's called a necromancer for a reason. Add the ability to raise the dead please. This is incorrect, or rename it...

Still just loving this game. There seems to be a bug... can't access the merchant in the last few games (the dialogue comes up but won't actually go to the sell screen).
One of the things I love is the secret rooms full of monsters... turns into a super fun tactical puzzle!
Great work and thanks for all of the updates. I would give this 11 stars if I could :)
