    I'm just trying to see the game in a playable state again asap. I was in the middle of a huge, HUGE Endless Shadow run with the Rogue when the iOS 10 update hit. I reopened the game and was stoked to see my progress still suspended after the update. Then the very next floor I encountered a teleporter and the game crashed back to floor 0. So, so bummed.

    So, just to confirm if anyone is wondering, I believe the crash affects basically every character the same way. I've done a ton of experimenting with the different characters and aside from the occasional Rogue dash and Warrior charge-slash, there's really no escaping the portal crashes. I say "occasional" because only twice did I survive teleporting, and both times the game noticeably stuttered immediately after going through the portal. Both times were also short-lived victories, as I immediately encountered portals that caused me to crash in the next rooms, after entering those portals using the same techniques I'd used to survive in the room previous. Weird.
    Sorry I couldn't come through with the awesome temporary fix folks, I put hours and hours into finding a method that works consistently.
    Funny thing is, even though it was my goal to find these portals, I actually loved it whenever I'd reach the end of a run without encountering any portals, that meant I got to play all the way through without crashing :) Anyways I'm still playing this almost daily and "collecting bug data", so if you need me, I'd be happy to help however I can.
    I'm playing on an iPhone 7+ running latest OS.

    Yeah, you unlock upgrades for each character by spending coins you find in the dungeon. Everyone has a bunch of upgrades and also a final "gift" upgrade that gives a slight bonus to all other characters.

    There's hats/wigs for character customization. You can also change the color palette around through which equipment you pick in the dungeon.

    I wish there was some Cloud saving or something. I have my old save file backed up but I can't get it onto my new device which locks out save file access :( I deleted the game originally because I had no way of going through the teleporters which frustrated me to no end. I could start over but I lost dozens and dozens of hours of hat loots and progress..

    There's cheat codes that can restore all your progress. I don't think we can restore hats, though.

    SO Disappointed !!!!

    After reading all the rave reviews about this game I finally spent $6.99 to buy it.
    What a letdown.

    I like to play range characters, and to my dismay I found out you can only shoot in 4 directions in this game, in straight lines. It essentially plays like a twin stick game, but it's handicapped!!

    You have full 360 movement, but can only do range attacks in 4 directions ??? This totally kills it for me. I want a refund.

    All characters' attacks work in whichever of the 4 directions you're facing.
    That's just how this game is designed.
    So it works like some retro games that let you move, but not attack, diagonally.
    (For example, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Secret of Mana.)

    So get a refund. The game is designed that way and it works fantastically well. The game is about movement, dodging, and strategizing attacks. If I didn't need to strategize my attack vantagepoint the game would be boring as hell. I'd just hide on corners and shoot at a 45° angle 90% of the time, and cover when I was close to being attacked. It'd become a boring game about keeping cover and maintaining a long range. In other words, it would remove a lot of the challenge and strategy of the game, which is the entire point of the game. It would make it an "easy" game like Age of Zombies, and that is not what this game aspires to be.

    That's almost 3x the amount of coins I have! Now THAT'S dedication!

    I've been playing Wayward at least once or twice a week for more than a year since purchase. I've stopped playing for almost two weeks now, since I don't want to be burned out once the PC version is released. I got myself an xbox 360 controller in preparation for this.
