Adventure Dungeon is an action-Roguelike inspired by Legend of Zelda and Binding of Isaac. The player traverses from room to room, collecting various powerups and fighting increasingly difficult enemies. The game's programming and at is by Winter Drake and the music is by Jon Halford aka CarbonTheif.

Not a huge patch, but, hey, I post things as I go. Word of warning: One of the new items is labeled "Damage Spell". It is not that.
0.7 Changelog:

    Finally fixed the nuclear warhead item
    Added 2 new enemies to the black floors
    Rebalanced the black floors
    Added a couple of new items
    Slightly rebalanced beholders/mega beholders

And PS, huge thanks to everyone that's been coming back to play daily! The website stats have been growing! If you like the game, don't hesitate to send me an email! I'll reply to all emails for now!

Well, it's been around a months since the last patch. After much procrastination, bugfixing, and hard work, the 1.4 Update is finally ready for the public. This changelog may be missing a couple of things, as 75% of the update was programmed before December, and I don't remember it all.

Alpha 1.4.1- Balance Changes!
 

I've gotten a lot of negative feedback regarding the game's difficulty, and while I don't want to make the game too easy, I understand that it's important to give new players room to get used to combat and gameplay before challenging them too much. I'd really appreciate it if everyone could let me know what they think of the changes- community feedback determines the fate of Adventure Dungeon!

Changelog:

    Reduced sword attack speed
    Increased base damage stat
    Increased damage dealt by slingshot
    Some early- game enemies move more slowly
    Misc. Balance changes

1.4.2 Changelog:

    Fixed a bug where seeds would cease to be synchronous after the first floor
    Reduced the speed of ghosts for balance

..v1.4.3

Just a small patch to get you through the weekend! I've been getting a lot of helpful community feedback, and hopefully this will solve some of the problems I've heard about!! One thing that's important to note is why I was able to add a volume slider for sfx and not music- my music is in mp3 format, and I'm unable to change the volume on the fly unless I'm using lossless audio files, which would double the size of the game file.

Changelog:

    Fixed the hitboxes on the bat/eyeball bosses
    Added a strafe key (Shift by default)
    Made keys rebindable! Go to "options" on the main menu to reconfigure.
    Added sfx volume slider

[getter77]

    Changed how music works- it now draws from a pool based of what color floor you're on
    Various bugfixes

Fixed a bug where level 10 was inaccessible
Fixed a bug where the magic key would not rebind correctly
Switched up the magic/sword GUI since keys are now rebindable
