The speed is fine in my FF.
It's strange. It crashed several times in a row yesterday!
And crashed today. But once I added try/catch with logging in remember, it stopped crashing!
Then I reloaded it, and ... it's crashing :-/
Feels like a bug in js implementation of FF.

The weird thing is there should be no evil at Player.js:151

unless it's some sort of very weird  concurrency issue...

Anyone else having trouble on firefox?

  Yeah man, can't play on FF. It locks up after awhile. Couldn't even type my name in with IE, but I only tried that once.

Slash: try to preallocate memory map too. I can't tell fore sure, but the bug in FF is definitely related to allocating it 'just in time'.

I played latest version for some time and here are some thoughts.
I was sure that ruined spear still dealing damage and ruined plate mail still protecting in previous version was a feature. But since you fixed this, it was a bug. But now I'm totally and utterly out of weapons!
They are getting ruined almost instantly. I tried to unwield weapon on trivial enemies, and wield it on hard ones.
But later on almost all enemies are hard!
It also looks like the speed of weapon wearing off depends on damage boosting special movements.
Which is (IMO) somewhat wrong. It doesn't matter how I kill nymph. It only matters how hard/soft she is.
In terms of damage to weapon that is.
You also nerfed destroy, and now I have to burn weapon on ants too, since dealing double damage with 6 str to them is not always enough to kill them. It looks to me that if you don't find 2-3 potions of str till level 14, you can easily start over.
Upon entering lvl22 I found myself with two smiling and drooling dragons around me in a corridor. And other monsters behind dragons, so no chance to walljump. I burned all potions and got killed and chewed. That felt very unfair.

p.s. And it would be nice if game will stop react on ctrl/alt/shift keys. It's rather strange to skip turns of pick things when you try to press some global hotkey :)

Felt good to actually play something that is actually a roguelike. Especially coming from you, back to basics :) Good work.
And yeah my weapons broke too quickly.
corremn's Roguelikes. To admit defeat is to blaspheme against the Emperor.  Warhammer 40000 the Roguelike

Got to floor 22 before being trashed by a dragon.  I hit the action key to to drink an extra healing potion, but I picked up an item on the ground instead : (

I don't think the crush/raze perks are working correctly.  I picked butcher early on, and my strength increased from 3 to 6, but crush and raze both left it at 6.

You can use 'I' for those critical times. Sorry for your loss... close!

Been able to see Rodney already?

Aha! fixed for next version.

Still thinking how to fix difficulty on first floors, first gotta find out *why* they are easy

Gosh you know Slash I'm not that careful of a player, I wasn't paying attention to the feedback. I do know that my HP didn't get a dent in it until the Yetis. I was so full of healing potions I took the +5 inventory perk early. I remember sitting at the same HP level for like 3 levels.
