This is one of those games I wish I could play on an emulator or VM or something where I could take a snapshot and subsequently undo my inevitable, catastrophic mistake.

#115For those who enjoy SPD I recommend checking out some other popular roguelikes, many of them are also open source. Some of my personal recommendations would be brogue (probably the most beginner friendly), DCSS (friendly, tons of content), ADoM and Cataclysm DDA (a sandbox survival roguelike, quite a unique mix)
What do these acronyms mean?
ADoM = Ancient Domains of Mystery
Cataclysm DDA = Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead
I swear I didn't make the first one up ;) Edit: ah well, you got your answer already^^

#120This is cool, I love a good roguelike especially on my phone for flights and other time sinks. I am curious though, why is the iOS version €4.99 but the Android version is free ? I've seen this a lot actually and have always wondered, I figured it might just be Apple's annual developer license fee but not sure.
