Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / Re: Pixel Dungeon
« on: January 18, 2013, 08:44:55 PM »
This is very impressive! It's already my favorite roguelike on Android! It's the first one I've found with simple controls that make sense, and don't make me want to rip my hair out.
The pixel art is very nice too. :3
There was a bug I encountered the first time I played. I died for the first time, and immediately tapped the skull that dropped. That made my guy reappear and take a few steps. After that, he was frozen in place, while gnoll scouts zoomed around at super speed. I thought I'd broken the game at first, and it took me a minute to realize I was dead and that I had to tap the gear button to bring up the menu to start a new game. Aside from the weird coming-back-from-the-dead thing, perhaps it should automatically bring up the menu asking if you'd like to start a new game, or maybe show your score/stats from that round, like in Nethack.
Also, I leveled up a few times, but my Strength never went up. I'm not certain if that's part of the game or a bug.
A few ideas I had:
- Triggering a poison dart trap with an item should cause it to drop poison darts that you can pick up and use
- When you drink a fire potion and catch on fire, you should be able to run into enemies and barricades to set them on fire, instead of just wasting a potion
- Enemies should drop corpses that you can eat (with a chance to poison) or throw
Keep up the excellent work!
