    Aspect Ratio is way off on the IPad Mini W/Retina display since last update. It is 100% unplayable! Does anyone know if this problem will be addressed in an update? I just rebuilt everything from the first time around. If anyone has info let me know. Thanks.

    Just wanted to report in here that upon updating to version 1.4, all of my progress was wiped, including the 25 Runes I had. I play on an iPad Mini Retina Display and the screen resolution is all messed up with the top and bottom of the screen being completely cut off.

    Is there an ETA on the update that'll fix the screen resolution issue? I've heard that there's a way to rush a hotfix update through the App Store review process; is there any chance this rush can be applied here?

    In regards to many of us having our progress reset, is there any way for us to get our Runes back without having to farm them or buy them via IAP?

    Imagine what the world would be like if scientists could figure out a way to harness video game rage and channel it into something good.

    My game was updated and my progress seems ok. Data loss must be conditional.

    Last update was already bad (e.g. crystals and other objects off screen), but with this new update they totally messed up the game. It is unplayable now (aspect ratio way off).

    All the best to the dev, hopefully you can fix it.

    Actually feel bad for the developer. His first iteration of dungelot was such a great game. Just really seems like he's skipping the whole testing process and just going forward with whatever there is. Unfortunately all this has done is alienate all of the fans of the games. At this point in time it's pretty much irreparable damage. Not sure anything short of a miracle can dig this game out of the serious hole it's in. If it were me I'd probably try to save face and quit the project. Might be better off just going back to the drawing board on this one.

    I don't think this game is unsalvageable but I will say that there should be some serious testing going on. Getting the fixes to us quick is great but not when you sacrifice breaking other things along with the fix.

    I say he stay the course but slows the heck down and test out the fixes and do it on the iPads too.

    Some of this just seems like it should have been picked up easy. I am no game maker but it seems like lots of this stuff is something that anyone could have caught by playing on a few of the iOS devices for just 5-10 minutes.

    I really hope it can be sorted out before the mass deleting because I really want this game to work out. It's one of my favorites and I have downloaded 100s closing on thousands of them.

    I know we all want the fixes fast but slow down and squash those bugs and when those bugs are squashed and any new content or features are added please test those too and then test the rest of the game to make sure those bugs you fixed and new stuff added did not inadvertently add more bugs. Test it all and maybe find a few others who can help you. I really like this game and I don't want to see it sink!

    He is a "one man show" so go easier on him. This game was never a cash grab and he puts a lot of passion in his work.

    I don't think there is any sane developer that would release games with known bugs just to annoy his user base. Pixeye seems like a nice guy and he's been always very supportive and responsive about every issue people posted here.

    So let's keep supporting him so we eventually get a Dungelot 3. And he will put his acquired knowledge to good use in that one. *fingers crossed* :)

    I'm waiting for the update to come out.

    still liking the game very much, but i haven't had the problems most users here have - or i don't care as much as others do maybe :)

    haven't spent money on runes, so the lost runes aren't a big problem for me, already got back about 20 of them.

    haven't lost progress, just money (on first start checked if everything was there and saved this state to icloud)

    i hope he fixes the problems fast and don't implement so many changes that completely changes the game again :)

    changes are good, but the core gameplay is great as it is now :D

    don't want a dungelot 3 so fast, just support dungelot 2 just as you did with dungelot 1 - it became better and better over time. seriously hope that it will be the case with dungelot 2, too.

    support pixeye! rage won't help him or the game.

    I'm not sure how we can think about a 3rd outing when I haven't really been able play much of the 2nd. Each update there appears to be huge bugs that affect the gameplay greatly. So I usually stop playing and just wait for another update. It's not really fun spending all the time to unlock a dungeon and then the next day it's all gone. I'm not about bashing the dev,but it would just be nice to finally play the game.

    I had 36 mana and I opened a monster tile and it drained ALL my mana hehe.. Kinda harsh! I don't think that's supposed to happen... And I never paid for my runes I lost. That would have really sucked. I still like the dev and the game even with all the problems and will still support him. It's frustrating to lose your character and levels etc. But it's just a game, a time killer, and if he keeps working hard to make it work it will end up being a great game like the first one.

    I'm also having the "never-loading" issue. Game comes up, screen is white with a loading symbol at the center. After several seconds I get the dungeon tile bordering at the bottom and top, like in the home menu screen, but the rest of the screen remains white.

    Deleted and re-installed, no difference. Don't really have much interest in playing if I have to disable icloud, seeing as how that might be the only way to prevent my progress from being wiped again.

    Edit: Standing by for a permanent fix. I'm just as frustrated as the next guy about the stumbling progress of this game, but I'm also hopeful and still rooting for the dev here. Honestly, my biggest concern is how this continuos string of problem after problem may affect the game's reputation and longevity. I suppose there's always the possibility of a strong comeback, but there's also the reality of getting lost amongst a sea of apps and losing that opportunity. Hope this game pulls it through.

    Unlocked the third dungeon. Closed the app and lost the dungeon and the dragon I had collected.
