    But! Maybe the newly introduced bows can help! I know these pink meat chunks floating around can be a pain, but with ranged attacks it may alleviate some frustration.

    That cookie looking sonofabitch.

    I haven’t given up and can see how it’s done, but to go through 9 levels to get there without a controller it can be frustrating.

    Don’t give up man! That cookie lookin mofo is tricky at first but, honestly the floors after 10 just get better, your gear starts getting better, better relics, better pick ups, and a staircase will open up so you don’t have to keep redoing it if you don’t wanna.

    So I’ve got all my stairwells opened up and what not, and I’ve made it all the way to floor 52, is there any importance to the impaled eye ball and other nast lookin ick-on-a-stick that shows up next to your main staircase after you’ve “beaten” the game? Does it UNLOCK SPETSNAS MODE!? WHERE YOU KILL HORDES OF ENEMIES WITH BACK FLIPPING HACTHET ATTACKS WHILST VITAS’ 7 THE ELEMENT PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND!?

    I tried the bow and beat level 10 boss on my first try. Was a game changer for me. Died next level though like instantly. Made me wish you could have 2 weapons so you could change as needed.

    Hahaha!! Nice dude!! The “harder” boss encounters net you cosmetic trophies on spikes pretty much haha. The rest of the game from there is pretty challenging, no more shortcuts, it’s survival baby. But I do like the idea of new modes... interesting.

    Oh I’m so glad dude! The bow was something I had been thinking about for a long time. My girl and I were talking it out and I was playtesting and playtesting. Funny enough she was like “i don’t know, I don’t think a bow would work...” so obviously I had to prove her wrong! Pregnancy be damned! It can be a challenge to use but I tried to make sure the generation on them was about speed increase and a bit more damage because aiming and attacking so many monsters at once can be a challenge.

    There’s some better gear as you descend though... I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised ;)

    New modes would be dope like this fat splif I just took of this fat bleezy ya feel me? Like a ballistic corpses mode, where they literally erupt across the screen with intensity.... or disco mode, where obnoxious disco music plays and the mobs all change colors to the FUNKY ASS BEAT. OR MAYBE RANGED ONLY MODE, WHERE YOU ####ING BLAST ALLL NIBBAS WITH BOWS, OR OVERKILL MODE, WHERE YOU CAN CONTINUALLT STACK BLUES EYE, DEVIL ORBS AND SHIELDS TILLS YOUR A MASS MURDERING HELL FORTRESS.

    Drink milk. Swerve.

    It’s been a while everyone, sorry for the absence. I know Scrungeon has probably gone to the wayside for many gamers but I figured I’d let you all know what’s going on.

    I had a baby boy! His name is Wolfgang and he’s awesome. My time has been obviously swallowed up by the handsome devil and I feel as though updates going forward may be slim to none on a Scrungeon as I sort of... refocus my work and life balance.

    Thank you all for the support and love and feedback and tales from the Depths. It’s been amazing.

    I’ve placed the game on sale for .99 across iOS and Android for the next month as a thank you and celebration of not just my son but The Scrungeon Depths being awarded top action game at Dreamhack Austin 2018! I won’t be able to attend for obvious reasons, but the game will be shown down there at the indie zone and if you are in the area, stop by the booth and take a picture or 7! I’d love to see some fans playing the game haha.

    Again, thank you, and I hope to announce my next project in the near future... I’m not sleeping anymore any ways soooooooo

    I think I might have gotten infected by some Pathogen... hopefully I'll go nuts, too.
    Congratz on your award and good luck beating your new game, Wolfgang, as I think that's one of the hardest games in life (not planning to play it).

    Thanks for the sale!

    Edit: No wonder that dude goes crazy when he talks about this game. Died on the second floor in my first try, the screenshake is amazing as it gives a sense of being smacking those pixely bastards. Currently at work, so I can't give it a proper go right now, but it looks pretty good.

    I did get a few good runs! Liking it so far! Already beat a boss and everything! That also means I got a shortcut for starting directly from floor 10. It keeps getting better. Looting is amazing and laying waste to enemies feels super good, leaving a mess on the floor and corridors also feels very satisfying although damn corpses make it harder to move.

    I still need a little of getting used to the movement since sometimes I move wrong although it's not a experience killer. Looting and looting, and looting some more, is amazing and fun even if I come across items that won't be of any help, reading their names makes up for that!

    Good game, man!

    PS: I can control myself better than that Pathogen when posting about your great game.

    Thanks so much man! I’m glad you enjoy it!

    Haha the best time to play is on the can! Some of my coworkers who were testing it for me said “best poop game”. ‍♂️
