Pretty nice. Again, the really small size detracts from the whole experience so I really hope you guys can improve that. Also like in previous comments I experience save bugging. I come back with 0 HP and my weapons either have reduced power or none at all, according to the stats screen. I find the names of some of the items are rather.. um.. ridiculous. A sandwich or cookie as a weapon? Lol. And lastly, I think the merchant is bugged sometimes too, because sometimes when he offers a torch for sale and I buy it, it shows and says that I bought a potion instead. On the whole, not a bad game. Definitely needs some fine tuning, but has potential!
Reviews for "The Dungeon"
the sounds are awesome, old school vibe all the way through in and out
this would be rad for a phone

Were considering that. Any suggestions for controls?
the size is an issue. the audio for stepping can be annoying at times. there's a lot of net hack going on here, but with less control. I'm jealous if your maps are randomly generated, as that's something I've had a hard time understanding. I'd really like to see this doing something unique. All complaints aside, it seems to be functional and well coded. keep up the good work.
Mechanically, the game seems okay. There's two pretty big problems, though: First, things aren't really explained. Does attack increase damage? Does it increase the chance to hit? What about defence? How do I level up? Do I even gain experience? Does my character improve at all?
The second problem is more easily fixable: Everything is fucking tiny.

Players are too used to modern games which hold your hand as you play. We avoided that. To learn how the game works you just have to play it. We went with a hard as hell retro feel. Attack does increase damage, not chance to hit.
It seemed like it was probably going to be good, I know I like stone soup's that has a similar look/feel, however I tried a couple methods and couldn't get this game to a size where I could see what was going on.
