Re: AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!

You may already know this, but you can still Throw and Zap when you're confused. It's only moving and hitting that are affected. I usually hang on to extra melee weapons, along with normal range weapons, just for this purpose.

Good luck next time!

Re: Best App Ever - YOUR HELP NEEDED

Voted. Good luck! RT is far and away the best game I've played on the iPhone. And that's not just nostalgia talking.

First Secret win

Just played (and won) my first run with a secret character: Neo. I decided on Neo becaue he doesn't come with any heavy artillery, just some helpful attributes. Having Clairvoyance and Fast is really useful in dealing with some of the peskier critters like aquators and rattlers, not to mention griff...

Re: Bug Reports

I have definitely seen the safe passage bug as well on at least two occassions. I'll report specifics (dungeon level, etc) if it happens again.

Re: Unfortunate vorpalizing

OK, seriously? Current game, Level 14, found a second vorpal scroll. I wielded the new war hammer I just picked up, read the scroll, and voila!....Emu Slaying??!

Bother!

Re: Unfortunate vorpalizing

Thanks for the insight, CD. I have once or twice saved a second vorpal scroll for deeper levels, hoping to find a better weapon than the standard mace to use it on. Does that reduce the likelihood of getting a decent monster targeted? I seem to have rather unfortunate luck overall with vorpalize. Mo...

Unfortunate vorpalizing

So in a recent game I'm on level 19 with a mediocre mace, when I finally find a vorpalize scroll. Yay, right? Wrong! I now have a Mace of Ice Monster Slaying! Seriously? On level 19??! I couldn't stop laughing though. Couple games later, similar depth, and I vorpalize my long sword into....wait for ...

Re: Rogue Touch Strategies

Just completed my first game as a normal player (haven't tried the secrets yet). I've come close three times before but some baddie (or starvation) got me. Feels good!

Re: A look at Rogue Touch, and the future of Rogue-Like gaming

I've been playing Rogue-likes for decades and I love Rogue Touch. I agree that Dip would be great. If Blessing is too much, maybe just confusion, blindness, poison, etc. Arrows of confusion would be very handy at times. As for PUT, one aspect I like from other games is the concept of skill points. A...

Re: Rogue Touch Strategies

First, I gotta say, I love this implemenation! I've been playing Rogue/Hack/NetHack/Moria/Angband for decades on different platforms and this implementation is one of the best. Here are a couple of strategies (really tactics, but who's counting) that I have found useful in other rogue-likes and they...
