    The first ios version will be free. Includes:
    • 2 heroes
    • About 50 dungeon levels ( well, the mechanic itself is endless, but endless game will be in full version)
    • 12 type of monsters ( all of them have different powers and abilities)
    • 4 types of "quests" ( kill local boss, slay monsters, save villagers, and find an object in dungeon )
    • 2 minigames ( blacksmith and fishing )
    • Monster arena. Its a place where you must kill all monsters to get a chest with rewards, but you cant escape from arena If you agreed to go there.
    • Slot machine ( tile with constantly generated objects, you must tap fast to grab thing you want )
    • "Greedy door" - this is one of the last additions. The idea is that you must pay something to open the door. Not necessarily money. Sometimes it takes your hp or attack rate.
    • Allies: Fire mage ( will make AOE damage to monsters ), tank ( will protect you from any 3 attacks ), priest (heals) . Allies can be found in dungeon.
    • 7 different magic scrolls ( I called them runes last time, but its kinda incorrect ).
    • GameCenter support


    After free version Ill submit full one for 1.99$

    • Endless gameplay
    • Sort of storyboss
    • Achievements
    • New dungeon styles [skins]
    • Updates ( new monsters, heroes and items to find and so on )

    So the main difference between free and full version is amount of content. Gameplay itself quite similar and without any cuts. Of course people with larger choice of heroes, dungeon content will see game a little bit different.

    Depending on how things go I will make gameplay updates for payed version.
    After 4-5 months of developing I'm tired and understand that I can add features forever. So I'll add all other features as updates. ( For example I really want to make sort of pet system but it's too much for me right now )

    Also few last points about pricing.

    Free ios version will have a preorder IAP (0.99$) until the full version loaded.
    So for about one month it will be possible to get game with 50% discount.

    Fun stuff! I think my only comments right now are that the Paladin seems less balanced than the Vampire (the monsters for the Vampire seem a bit harder, but that extra attack point makes such a difference), and I'm not sure I like the auto combat that keeps attacking until you get a hit. What I'd rather see is two options (changed in the options screen) - click to attack once or click to continue attacking and click again to stop.
    Good luck with the game!

    That demo is great and I can't wait for the full iOS version to hit! So all powers are passive, right, or am I just missing how to use the vampire powers in the web demo?

    Tnx! Well, It's not a huge problem to make what you offer. I'll make it with one of updates.

    All hero skills are passive. All magic skills(scrolls?) that you find in blue chests are active.

    Ok, few more people for beta needed;-)

    Stats

    Did you finalize how you wanted to show enemy stats?
    I think, a great way would be to not have the stats on the screen to keep everything uncluttered.
    When you touch and hold, the stats then appear. When you release,
    the stats disappear.

    Thanks

    When I asked people about stats they said that it's OK to see everything as you can calculate and decide before making any moves.

    But I think it's a question of customization and I'll make sort of checkbox in options.

    This. Game. Is. Awesome.

    I tried the Mac version and so far I am liking what I see. Please take my money now. :D

    Just a minor thing though, why, 'Congratulations! You Have Died?' :D

    Tnx!;-)) Well I saw "Congratulations! You Have Died?" in other game ( Dungeons of Dredmor ) - maybe it isn't a good idea to take this words, but I really like them;-)

    As you die often in Dungelot you should think positive;-)

    The version you see right now will be sent to store in few days, so in a week or two it will be available in the appstore.

    It will be free and will include preorder INAP(0.99$) that will unlock infinite levels and all content updates that I'm going to load. Additionally in January the full version will be loaded separately.(1.99$) and preorder INAP will be removed.

    So you can get free game and just wait for full one, or buy inap in free game and get updates right away. You'll also wont need to load anything more as you've already purchased the game.

    In december I plan to add:
    3 more heroes ( brewer, mage and fool(joker))
    few monsters
    sort of story boss

    So the free version and full game is the same if i pay for the iAP? If i want the full version, should i wait till January, or the free version + iAP is the same?

    The same. But as I still work on content you will get it
    over the period of december. Because of that I drop price for a while;-)

    Can not wait... A question though: how do you preorder games on AppStore? I have never heard of this, at least not with Apps only movies, television and sometimes music.
