  • no keyboard support

    no keyboard support this is garbage
  • Can’t get Bluetooth keyboard to work

    Bought this to scratch that nostalgia itch, and was excited to try out the keyboard support for that truly authentic feeling, but I sadly haven’t been able to get it to work. I’m using iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, and the keyboard works in other apps (like Notes), but it doesn’t seem to do anything here. Am I missing something obvious?

  • Wands crash app

    Liked rogue and want to like this but every time I select a wand to use app crashes and must restart!
  • Rogue hangs and deletes character

    Scroll of Identify does not cause “pick” or “select object” menu to appear. Only way out is to close game and reload. Worse, when you try to Zap with a staff, the game deletes the active character.
  • Staffs and Wands still crash the game

    :-(
  • Glitchy AF

    You will be playing and all of the sudden the game will exit. Your character is not saved when you come back. You have to start over. By the looks of it, there was just the one version and update released two years ago. Doesn’t like like there will be support into the future.
  • seemingly unplayable

    I figured out how to move around, but it wasn’t obvious to me at first. I was thinking it was relative to the @ but it turns out to be more about specific spots on the screen: left, right, top, bottom, and then the corners (for diagonal moves). I guess I solved that puzzle!

    It would be nice if moves could be more responsive and quicker.

    On a side note, panning around is possible while pinch-zooming. (I’d prefer being able to do this by one-finger dragging.)

    Again, it would be neat if the controls could look more retro/ascii in monochrome mode.


    Original reaction:

    This is like trying to get a cat to go where you want to go. 80% of the time, it just stubbornly stays put. Sometimes it does move, but not where you mean to go. Other times, it just goes all the way to the opposite wall when you just wanted to move a little bit.

    If the movement itself is meant to be a puzzle in its own right, good job—it’s a challenging one.

    I have no idea about the actual game itself because I’m too distracted trying to get something, anything, to happen on purpose.

    And I actually paid for this...?!

    On another note, it would be nice if the entire UI could be retro/ascii in monochrome mode.

  • Great possibilities

    If make a little less buggy. It can be a great game. Nothing else close to this on Apple
  • My Childhood Game

    May not be the exact replica of the game that we all love, but it is an amazing game by itself. Has some bugs that I hope get resolved eventually, but functions just fine!
  • Crashes just like the original

    Looks great, gameplay is close enough to the original, brings back memories... but crashes just like the original too.
