That was great! I'm particularly impressed with the smooth learning curve, especially the dynamic legend.

I sometimes didn't notice when a new narrative appeared. I would just glance over once in a while to see if something new had happened. Maybe bring more attention to that, like having it blink once instead of fade in? Sure it doesn't look as nice, but you want the player to focus there.

Great game! Too bad it bugged on me at some point; after getting out of the dungeon I can't move anymore...

Sorry to hear that! Can you post the output of your browser's JS console?

Mine froze when I entered the castle garden looking for the bride. :(

I just started playing Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup the other day for the first time (I've played Nethack and Angband for years though), so I'm in a Rogue sort of mood. Thanks! This is wonderful.

Tome 4 ( http://te4.org )is a really polished, modern take on roguelikes. It's also based on a pretty modular, GPL3 licensed engine, in case you ever feel like making your own.

Yeah, I played that quite a bit a few years back. Unfortunately at the time quite a bit of some of the runecaster class was broken, but it was still quite fun.

That was all before the current engine, which I have to say looks pretty awesome from videos and screenshots. I'll have to try playing it again.

awesome game! but is it just me, or is it impossible to defeat the murderer? played it 3 times and i get killed everytime by the murderer. what did i miss?

Huh?

My game ended because the princess (or was it queen?) drowned herself. Does this game have multiple endings? Nice!

Pick up the plate armor, he'll barely score any damage on you. It looks like `[` and is in the dungeon somewhere (in addition to chain mail, which looks like `[` as well).

I had the plate armor and I suspect there was a bug with the axe (or perhaps a feature where one of the weapons does nothing), he didn't do much damage to me but I just had 100% miss rate. Second playthrough used the sword and dispatched him easily.

Thanks for the traceback! Will try to investigate.
