Same thing happened to me -- had to start a new character. And no, I didn't restart the device before starting the game. Will do so now.
I would say you are missing out. These are great devs and they really listened to us in the beta of the game. 5 for supporting them is cool with me... but I forget that idevice users are the $1 General Store shoppers of the video game world. http://www.100rogues.com/
Working very smooth for me on my iTouch 2G. After I downloaded I booted up my "System Activity Monitor" To clear up memory. I Have yet to experience a crash. Loving my Crusader btw.
Yes rebooted of course, yes did everything I was supposed to do and yet I crashed mid-battle. First time I was on floor one. Restarted my device and cleared the first floor and thought I was good to go - same thing happened on the second floor but this time was able to get a "continue" on the screen so I thought not all was lost. But each time the load screen finishes and I "touch to start" it crashes. In the process of reinstalling now from scratch so let's hope that fixes it!
Well, I just played the first two floors and although I must admit I wasn't as convinced about this game as some (which didn't stop me from buying this much-anticipated roguelike right away, mind you) I am definitely sold on it now. I can already tell there is going to be a lot of strategy in it, which is exactly what I love in a Roguelike. I also appreciate the movement and art more than I thought I might from preview videos. And the music is just awesome. I can tell there will be many hours of entertainment here. Re: bugs--I didn't have any crashing issues so far, (I did restart my device after downloading) but I am having the apparent glitch with the skill tree where it displays a skill point, but I haven't found any way to add it. I was able to do so earlier, however, so it's not like I just don't know how to do it, so it must be a bug I suppose.
Can it only be played in portrait mode? The game looks great but I can't justify a $5 purchase if so, holding the width of the iPhone is a terrible strain on my hand
Yes, it's only in portrait. I wouldn't mind seeing an update which allows it to be played in landscape though. I'll just cross my fingers on that one.
Pretty much the same thing on the skill point tree. I still show one. It has been there since the initial allocation of usage. Agreed. Being able to flip to landscape mode on the fly and open up the screen a bit more.
Working so far after I re-installed it. Keeping my fingers crossed that was all it took! I thought that too about the skill points but the "1" is in green and the "0" is a black outline that kind of makes it look like a 1.
V NICE The "v" stands for "very". I've been waiting for this one for awhile, personally. I'm surprised people like landscape mode so much. I always like portrait mode games.
