Madcrawl (alpha build) - "Traditional" Roguelike

[SuskyTheCorgi]

I got an error, but the artwork and design is AWESOME! It is a little hard to understand what is going on. I know this is an alpha build mainly for testing, but if you're going to release it, then I think it should have instructions and make the more important text easier to see.

- your title has "unicorn blood sacrfice" (not mad crawl)
- instructions on first screen is v helpful
- messages appear at the top AND the bottom. V confusing. Suggest you drop the one at the bottom and just fill the log at the top.
- graphics is awesome
- the 'confused' effect where keys become random is a great mechanic
- I can see friends and enemies through walls when I 'display' tags. Intentional?
- equipping things is a bit unintuitive. I got it after clicking around a bit.
- suggest the heart beat is turned off when health is 100%
- using a wand of flames requires no less than four mouse clicks. At least the 2nd click can be removed.
- i realised there was no line of sight with the wand until after I'd committed to an attack. I couldn't see a way to cancel the attack. (suggest right-click to cancel wand).
- I got stuck on some stairs and had to quit the game. That sames stairs worked on at least 3 previous occasions (I went up/down a few times) but then got stuck the 4th time. Screen shot for what it's worth.

I think the game is really engaging. Much more improved once I realised I had to follow my party. I even stopped my other background game to focus on this one. I wanted to explore more and see what else I can pick up and whack something on the head with my club.

I played the exe version (not that that matters).

Wow, I come back to see all this. Thanks alot, tog!

Ahhh, my silly mistakes

- instructions on first screen is v helpful

Nice too know, thanks

- messages appear at the top AND the bottom. V confusing. Suggest you drop the one at the bottom and just fill the log at the top.

So the top one is better?

- graphics is awesome

Thanks, so the lighting isn't as confusing

- the 'confused' effect where keys become random is a great mechanic

Hey, I didn't invent it, classic roguelike effect. But thanks

- I can see friends and enemies through walls when I 'display' tags. Intentional?

Nooooo. Ahhh, gotta fix that, thanks. Btw, are the tags helpful or can you tell who your enemies and allies are without them?

- equipping things is a bit unintuitive. I got it after clicking around a bit.

Aah, I kinda meant for it to be figured out by the player. But maybe a rework or more info needs to be given. Thanks.

- suggest the heart beat is turned off when health is 100%

Yeah...

- using a wand of flames requires no less than four mouse clicks. At least the 2nd click can be removed.

? Could you elaborate? A click to open the menu, one to click on the wand, then one to choose what it does (oh, as I'm typing this I'm realising ) and then another to click on the target. But it can be added to the quicslot to be reduced to 2 clicks.

- i realised there was no line of sight with the wand until after I'd committed to an attack. I couldn't see a way to cancel the attack. (suggest right-click to cancel wand).

Isn't there? Like a bunch of targets that show where it's possible to blast in green and where an area can't be reached in red? Also escape should cancel a wand use but I'll also keep right click on mind

- I got stuck on some stairs and had to quit the game. That sames stairs worked on at least 3 previous occasions (I went up/down a few times) but then got stuck the 4th time. Screen shot for what it's worth.

Oof. Bug

(Did you find the mind transfer wand in the first level?) Again, thanks for checking it out and thanks for the feedback !

> So the top one is better?
Yes - top one is better.

I think there is LoS but only after you've committed to an attack. I didn't try escape.

Didn't find the mind transfer. Now I'm curious about that that does ...

Welcome back. You were on vacation for a month?

Welcome back. You were on vacation for a month?

Kind of, but not really. More like an anti-vacation . My mind is wrapped up with a bunch of things I need to complete so I barely come online.

(And I still have that drawing I said I would do on this forum. I haven't forgotten )
