@elig maybe nymphs stole the items?

Assault +charge works well against giant ants

Thanks for the reports!

Yeah, run like a chicken when you see them... or charge and assault them with a pointy stick

That only works when you have space for maneuver. But when you enter new level and ant is next to you, there is not much you can do about it. And when it reduces your strength by one with each hit, and there is no way to restore lost strength, it's straight way to restart the game.

Strange thing happened to me. Unfortunately I forgot to make screenshot.
I entered new level and got killed by a troll. According to message log. But there was no trolls in sight!
I know that the game can generate two enemies in one tile. Probably it can generate enemy on top (or is it under?) of player?

Yay for lack of polish :( I'll fix these details tomorrow and release a post 7drl version.

I'm glad I was able to produce something fun and enjoyable this year tho

Yesterday I reached level 23 where a dragon toasted me. Didn't get "you die" message. The game just restarted. It was just after I drank healing potion. Possibly my new hit points were not enough to survive a hit from the beast. Argh.

Other problems:
1) With backflip power you can enter walls.


####
..@##
.....
...##

Move northwest. Under this logic backflip should place you into a wall ... so it does not happen and you go forward instead of checking for wall jump which would be appropriate here. Also, I wait with taking backflip as long as possible because it ruins wall jump in many cases.

2) Nymphs may steal equipped items. Then these disappear from your inventory but are still wielded / worn. You get more space without having to drop things.

Yes, this game is definitely fun. I would go as far as saying it is the first time you managed to capture the joy of playing original Rogue in 7DRL.

I think lost strength from ants is not recoverable on purpose. Lost max hp from wraiths cannot be restored even by drinking healing potions at full health.

Edit: My browser is Opera and, like Jo, I had to hit space first to be dropped in the dungeon.

Lv 23, congratulations!

The first press space is not a bug, that's the way to leave the lobby level

  Back flip into the wall? You calling that a bug? Sounds like a feature. ;-)

EDIT: @Slashie...I feel the same way this year.

Just wanted to point I've just released a much enhanced version (while keeping a link for the original 7drl release). Check it out http://games.slashware.net/rodney

It's still crashing in firefox.
--
[10:09:35.769] TypeError: can't convert undefined to object @ http://games.slashware.net/rodney/js/Player.js?v=6a:125

Happened in second room of dungeon.

Probably you should wrap logic in main loop into try/catch and at least notify user about error?
Or even try to recover...

Does it happen frequently? Or just one time?

Ants are mean.  I consider them the #1 biggest threat in this game.

By the way, when I push up or down to move, it makes my window scroll up and down is well.  Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Very frequently. The game is almost unplayable.

I haven't tested new version in Chrome yet.
But previous error (Dungeon.js:71) was in chrome, yet seems to be very rare.
I use Chrome on Mac (at work) and Firefox on Windows (at home).
