Da Map, Madgarden? I think, I believe, I seem to remember that a thousand years ago, when you and I were young, there was some discussion of the map on the iPhone screen. I have a really hard time using the map and am hoping that won't be the case with the update. The little markers for stairs, passages, dropped items are a bit hard for me to make out. Might this be improved in the update, please? (Obviously, wouldn't want the map itself to take up more room on the screen --- although a size toggle might work --- but I'd like to spend less time squinting and trying to figure out whether I be looking at blue up stairs or green down stairs and stuff.)
Not much to look at here anymore, the wife and I have tossed around canada actually. Funny you mention it.

[/Doffie] I would approve of this too. It does go deeper than 20 btw, I think I remember there being plans for unlimited floors eventually....?
My memory is that there were 27 levels and I got close to that deep once. And then....well, CARNAGE, whew. Any floor lower than 22 is truly frightening.
Yes, with 2.0 it will be possible to have very deep dungeons, and well all sorts of crazy configurations and quest. First we'll be rolling out the main Sword quest, and then adding a quest generator of sorts in an update. Most of these quests you'll be able to enter and leave at any time... a quick dive to hunt for items or cash, rack up a bit of XP, that sort of thing.
Yes, please, don't forget the improvements to the map that were spoken about, or the fine tuning to the iPad controls or the improved iPad map/gold display, either. Ha, three requests being remembered at the same time! Fingers crossed!
If you look at the screenshot I posted a couple pages back with the icky worm, it has the new HUD layout which shows gold and floor, and there's no more number overlay on the minimap. Not sure which iPad fine-tuning you're talking about, but it can't hurt to have a sensitivity knob.
EDIT: I'm so sorry for the post which had already been answered. Suddenly there were more posts in this thread than there had been in the past few weeks, and I was catching up. I now know that both will be going universal, sorry for the lack of context Regards, Paulo Tavares
Ok, first run made it to level 6 and was level 8. Then got stomped on by a wyrven. Best shield I got was a spiked shield in level 2 that lasted me until 5 when things started to go downhill. lol. By the by, I know there is the sword you are going for but are there any additional weapons? I didn't come across any but didn't want to assume.
hbernritter, in Fargoal 1.x the only additional weapons are different kinds of wands. And of course there are a bunch of shields and some magic/potions. Fargoal 2 has a metric shittonne of additional weapons, shields, armour, etc. etc.
Well then you best quit posting and get to work on getting me them swords!! Seriously though, fantastic game and I'm hoping to at least see the Sword of Fargoal before the new update. Although that would mean I would probably need until next year at least
He forgot to mention though that in the current version there are Enchant scrolls that will immediately add +1 to your sword (not sure how that translates to combat though - +1 to attack and damage I would guess?). Of course, the more of these you get, the better.
Hmm, odd. On average, you should be able to find one almost every level (or at least every other). Are you checking everywhere? You know there are multiple maps for each level past the first? Also, whenever you get to an upstairs, check it - it may lead to map on the upper level that you didn't find when you were exploring that level. Or it could also lead to a secret area on a map you DID explore. There are also secret walls that you open by moving into them - usually these lead to small rooms with good treasure.
Ah, actually my stats do say Enchanted Sword +1. I guess I forgot I picked it up. Is it automatic or do you have to cast it? I'm going pretty slowly though. I'm still on floor 5 with my deepest as 8 because I'm trying to check every last corner and grinding a bit along the way
