Well, there goes the rest of the week. I don't install games on my phone, but I always give SPD a pass because open source. The first time I installed it, I almost lost an internship because I was too focused on the game. The most recent time I installed it, my wife thought I was cheating on her because I was acting so shady and obsessive about my phone. Don't say I didn't warn y'all.

The traps just happen randomly throughout. The best run I had going ended instantly when I hit an alarm trap. It's impossible to recover. I cannot even escape lone enemies without a ring of haste. Yeah, I could have detected that on a search, but I'm usually struggling to stay fed in the first place.
If you’re struggling to stay fed, try these tips: * Don’t eat right away when the game says you’re hungry. Wait until you’re starving and below 50% health. This makes each food ration last way longer! * Don’t eat pasties or meat. When you find an alchemy pot, use the recipe that combines one food ration, one piece of meat, and one pasty to make a meat pie. The meat pie is way more nourishing and gives you a “well fed…

I've been playing on and off for about 3 years now, I'm not even very good, have never beat it yet.
In the past week or two I've learned about better strategies, e.g. max out your weapon so you can one-hit most enemies. Trading blows is a death sentence.

Ome additional note: Don't let thieves get too far away after they steal from you, else This stolen item will disappear forever. This just happened to me a few minutes ago.

It's a variant, with lots of quality-of-life upgrades, some very well thought-out new mechanics, and new biomes and missions.

> I'm not really sure what this is doing on Hacker News Incredibly fun game, open source, and in a genre that likely fits well into many HN users' interests. I rediscovered it recently and remembered it was open source, so why not submit it?
The title should include a [year], to save people like me from needing to check if anything significant changed in the game that made me miss half of a trip to Thailand in 2014.
I started an opinionated and still incomplete guide for new players https://spd-huntress-guide.pages.dev/guide . I didn't put it out there and was going to take it down because I couldn't finish it let alone maintain it. It's impossible to keep up with the pace of Evan's updates so the walk-throughs with seeds probably don't work, but someone might find it useful.

If you only play open source mobile games and are afraid of wasting your time, make sure you avoid the factory tower defense game Mindustry which presents itself at https://mindustrygame.github.io/
And if you play on PC, also avoid Tales of Maj'Eyal ( https://te4.org/ ), because of its depth and almost infinite replayability.
