    I just beat it. What a great game! I will no doubt go back sometime soon and replay with lightning and fire to increase the difficulty.

    Those programmers are out of jobs. Us real programmers, we just figure out how to turn them into FEATURES.

    I have had no end of difficulties with this game but I've still been playing it all day. I can see the very few bugs under the hood and how they are breaking it, and I bet on an update quite soon.

    Though, on the other hand, it is arguable if they were as trivial as they should be, it wouldn't have come out with them... :-\

    Doing nothing of importance.

    Umm... I'm having an issue here... It crashes on startup every time for me. It goes to the splash screen, then the loading screen, and once it completely loads the game and the bar is full, it crashes. I've restarted my iPod and uninstalled/reinstalled the game several times. Any help?

    I just give it some time play some other games and come back to it when I'm ready, this happens to me alot.

    P.S. Also if you're jailbroken like me running in safe mode causes almost no crashes :)

    How do you put it in safe mode? I know I could screw my old iPod up and send it into safe mode, but I forgot how to.

    You miss my point: I wasn't saying that Raptisoft shouldn't or wouldn't fix the bugs that are currently showing up. But as any real programmer should know, modern, object-oriented applications are made up of very complex code, and it's impossible to guarantee that no new errors will crop up in the future.

    If every programmer who has ever delivered final code with bugs were fired, there would be no employed programmers anywhere.

    From what I've experienced so far - this game is crazy fun to play.

    But it's crashed about three times on me - I recovered alright twice, and the third bug set my wizard dude into no-man's land where I couldn't move or escape with a key. So I restarted my file entirely.

    NOTE TO THE DEVELOPERS: You guys really should add a "restart floor" button. That would have saved me a lot of trouble, and could make some of these bugs a lot more bearable.

    In future updates I'd also like to see a progress bar showing how close you are to a level-up.

    Not sure if you already know, but you can check how close you are to leveling up in the stats menu. When you go to inventory it is at the top of the screen.

    I had that same bug hit me, where I ended up in no-man's land.

    I also had this glitch. GD it, put me right in a wall. Still this was a completely unexpected gem.

    Great!

    Very fun game here. I have had a few setbacks mentioned here already but the upcoming patch should fix them. I look forward to the archer edition. I love playing the archer/ranger in rpg's. It will be an instant buy, along with the warrior one too.

    A few additions that would be great...
    -multiple save slots
    -show more stats on your stat page. Example: how much total magic your spells cost to cast, total + to gold, what your mana regen is and how often it regens etc.
    -quick health & mana buttons for your pots.
    -name your hero and maybe pick robe color.
    -a total stats page under the main menu that shows time played, foes killed, highest floor reached.

    Evidently some people have also had success by clearning off some space on their iPods (why does this work? You got me... it suggests insane things about the iPod OS).

    The update has a decreased memory footprint via some graphical consolidation and more use of dynamic loads, though, so I'm hoping that nails this problem. (Update still waiting for review, just FYI).

    Had the same issue. Freeing some space on my device (up to 150mb in my case) solved the issue. Hope it helps!

    Cheers,

    I think the problem is caused by the main (128MB) memory. I can only free-up 40MB FREE memory. For the storage space, I have 10GB+. But the game still crashed randomly.

    I didn't write about random crashes but particularly about game crashing every time after loading gauge reaches 100% (so before you see the main menu even). I had this issue and it was gone after I freed some storage space. Now from time to time I encounter some random crashes like you mentioned.

    Cheers,
    f.

    It has only crashed a few times for me. Other than that, this game is great! A few suggestions:

    1. Have a bar that shows how close you are to leveling up
    2. Have the floor number somewhere on the screen because I don't know what floor I am on

    If you fix these, it would be awesome!
