Haste Potion on Death bug - Show-Stopper (v1.5)
Posted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 12:30 pm
I'm one hit away from death, with nothing in my inventory that's going to prevent it. So, just for giggles, I drink a potion of haste self.
The trolls hits and kills me, but I don't get the whole red death / tombstone / info scroll screen. Instead:
Perhaps the game thinks that I still have one more move, due to the haste effects. Zoom functions still worked.
I didn't try moving from this position, but instead tried reading an unidentified scroll I had, just to see what would happen (thinking maybe I could still find out what it was, and then die).
The scroll-reading animation played normally, but no effect occurred on-screen or was mentioned in the comments. Instead:
Totally messed up stats (compare with first screen shot), and a show-stopper bug. Couldn't move, couldn't access inventory. The only way out was to quit the app via the hardware button.
Note: Zoom functions still worked, even though everything else didn't.
When I restarted the app and checked the Hall of Fame, it looks like my death was recorded properly (entry 6)...
...and there were no ill effects in starting my next game.
