    No... it's like when the robot bazooka guy targets you, and you can see where the blast is going to hit. Those kind of targets. Not the red squares.

    I got to the 10th level, Satan's lair, but nothing showed up.
    I waited and waited, until I finally died of hunger.

    Is that a bug? Or was I suppose to do something to summon the Boss?

    1.06 is nearing completion, and headlining the changes is the return of Quabbus, our ethnically ambiguous shopkeeper, from his foreign homeland. Accompanying Quabbus are a string of new items, as well as a modification system called multibranding.

    Now, items in the game have a chance to be modified multiple times, allowing for Armored Leather of Evasion, or Poisoned Magic Daggers of Health.

    The changes I've made to items over the last week will also make it much easier for us to add much more interesting items with rare or hidden effects, though I can't yet say exactly how much will make it in 1.06.

    You aren't the only one seeing this, but not everyone is seeing this. I personally can't get close to seeing him without debug settings that probably circumvent the issue, but I'm zeroing in on the cause and promise to have a fix in 1.06. I'd avoid reloading once you're in Satan's world, if possible.

    Other issues people have experienced with Weapon Focus and Vampiric weapons will also be resolved, and you can now pick up inventory items with a full inventory when the item can stack with something already in inventory / quick slots. There will probably also be some UI sugar.

    Though I don't have a firm date for our submission to Apple just yet (it largely depends at this point how long it takes to balance the shopkeeper and gold / new items), but I can say with confidence that this update will be out much sooner than 1.05

    Update sounds nice...

    Please take your time for balancing. There is nothing worse than an ill balanced rogue like (well, maybe a constant crashing rogue like... but we are almost over that :p )

    Update sounds awesome, a shop will push it further to being like Diablo. Also can't wait for the new classes, would love a sort of Thief / Ranger class....

    Would you mind telling me if yours is jailbroken? I've gotten one other report of jerky animation, which happened on a jailbroken device, but no complaints on non-jailbroken ones. None of the devices I use for testing are jailbroken, so I can't really catch issues with this.

    Was jerky on my second gen in testing. But not on my iphone 4. the jerkiness actually made the game more playable (monsters appeared in the los properly) so I thought it was intentional.

    How does this play on the iPhone 4? Also, does it support the Retina Display and iOS 4 multitasking?

    I suck at this game; I rarely make it to the genie and I wrote the damn thing.

    There is a strategy guide which may help, graciously provided and meticulously maintained by NoDPad

    also available through the 100 Rogues website

    Just a little news...

    * The new items system is being worked in now, which means a lot MORE items and a lot more interesting items (items with multiple brands, more player-spell items, rare items).

    * The item shop is on its way for 1.06!

    * The "Design A Monster" contest voting page is in the works... stay tuned for more information. You really have to see some of these entries, they're hilarious.

    Take care, all. Hope you're enjoying 1.05.

    I am! At first i had crashes and slow gameplay but after a restart of the ipod everything was fine!

    maybe this helps some of the other players who mentioned the same problems.
