    Just picked this up. Gameplay is real time and there seems to be about 9 rooms per floor that always have monsters (the last one being a boss). If you re-enter a room, enemies respawn but are usually different from what was there the first time.

    It's touch control (would have preferred a d pad) and attacking is automatic. There should have at least been a little help screen or something because you find out as you go along. For instance, if it wasn't for this thread. I wouldn't have known that if you hold down in an area you cast a spell (doesn't always seem to work though). And it wasn't intuitive to drag chests to slots to get new equipment. One annoyance is that you have to hold down to see if the new equipment is any better, but your finger gets in the way. It's rogue like in that if you die it's permadeath.

    All that probably sounds negative, but it's pretty fun and glad I picked it up.

    It's real time combat, you tap where you want to walk to and he walks there and attacks. Or hold down to charge your magic attack.

    I'm pretty sure the maps while all being a 3x3 grid then boss fight are all random rooms though. (Might be wrong)

    This is well worth picking up for 69p, if you like rogue style or dungeon crawler games this is great.

    I have another, similar "looking" game on my wishlist, Zaga33. Are these similar?

    Sorry for acting like a doofus and not just reading the threads, but the power supply on my PC died while I was playin the demo of the newish X-Com game. Well, it kinda exploded.

    ...it's a lot more difficult, even on the mini, to read through the threads. If only I could view the forums in full screen instead of just those slide-out panels.

    I have noticed the bug in the area that has snakes and ghosts.
    The enemy that was still alive while I was stuck was a snake.

    Zaga33 is turn-based. Not very similar.

    Is there an advantage to one type of magic vs. another?

    Thank you for the free sale; I already have bit Dungeon and thought you undersold yourself at $0.99. Hopefully this is a sign New Worlds is coming soon.
    No, it might in a future update.

    I played to level 25 but I'm afraid it just seems tedious after a while. I'm doing the same thing on every level and it doesn't seem there is any chance I could die. I don't even really use any tactics, just run back and forth whacking enemies. When I get to the bosses I just go head-to-head and tap-tap-tap on them until they die. Maybe it gets hard in another 100 levels but I am not going to last that long.

    @Kinto

    Killed a ghost and had the bug happen again with a snake still alive.
    Thankfully I haven't become stuck again though.
    Pic attached

    It seems like killing the soul collector causes spikes in the difficulty, can you verify this?

    What's your problem with the picture? You need to kill the last enemy to get the key to exit the room and/or go on to the next room. That's the way it always works.

    @david
    It's not that the key hasn't appeared, it's that the level up has appeared with a monster left in the room.

    @kinto
    Happened again, this time the level up appeared with another ghost still alive I had just killed a different ghost.

    That happens all the time. I think it's accumulating an XP total as you kill enemies, internally, and when you reach a new level then the popup appears. Often this is at the end of a level (I suspect there's an XP bonus for clearing the level), but not always. Why is this a problem?

    Occasionally when this happens it will freeze you in place with the enemy still wandering around the level. The only way to free yourself is to force quit the app and start that level over.
    A couple of pages back kinto (the games creator) asked for details and a pic when this happens so I've been trying to help out when I have it happen to me.

    Bit Dungeon > Zelda. Love the merit & charm of the game, especially building a hero who can compensate for my gamer weaknesses. Sequel with more classes, prz~
