Thanks, Robert! ### 5/5 — Thank you for supporting this *2024-06-01* So happy I can play this gem on my tablet. Thank you! ### 5/5 — One of my absolute faves but still crashes *2023-07-06* Hi i removed game, uploaded again after IOS update. Still crashes. Help? ### 4/5 — Flawed update *2023-02-09* The developer seems to have tried to make the game more atmospheric by showing where there are shadows and by dimming the graphics. In practice this means that I have to waste my iPad’s battery by turning up the brightness. I suspect that the purple for shadows and the purple for caustic gas will be confusing. This version is not backwards compatible so any saved games can be opened and no saved recordings can be watched. On top of the above, it is still not possible to delete saved recordings. ### 5/5 — Hidden Treasure *2022-10-29* Thanks for this, I hope more people discover it! ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2022-06-28* Wonderful! For some reason, when I’m next to a wall I can’t move diagonally. Bug? Also, a few sound effects would be awesome. Thanks for your effort making this available! EDIT: Try moving diagonally into a doorway. That doesn’t work for me. **Developer response:** hmmm ... I can't make the diagonal movements fail, sorry. Sounds would be fun, perhaps in a future version. ### 5/5 — Classic Returns *2022-05-01* Great port of this classic gem. So appreciate the dev taking the time to bring this back. After countless hours logged with my favorite mobile RL, PixelDungeon, it’s great to to spend time with it’s obvious inspiration, BRogue. Would love to see this enhanced further, wish there was a zoom option, as even on a iPad, it can be difficult to target things. A few sound effects would be nice, even if they were reminiscent of OG PC Speaker sounds, having that bit of feedback during play would bring it a more to life. **Developer response:** There is a zoom: hover over a spot for a bit, and you'll get a small zoomed view of where you're touching. HTH Music/sound effects would be fun .. great idea for a future version! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-04-26* Very good, only complaint is that it is hard to put seeds in as it doesn’t copy codes in correctly. Also the keyboard blocks the input and you can’t pull the keyboard back up once you’ve put it down. (In seed Input). **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Command-V works when typed from the physical keyboard. I'll work on getting the "Paste" working from the on-screen keyboard. ## Frequently asked questions about iBrogueCE ### What is iBrogueCE? iBrogueCE is a free, community-enhanced port of the classic roguelike game Brogue, specifically designed for iPad OS.

The gameplay is the same as 1.11 ### 1.1110.1 — 2022-05-23 BrogueCE is now version 1.11.0 ! This is a new gameplay version featuring some ally buffs, a new auto-ID system, and UI improvements. Replays and saves are not compatible with 1.10.x. Enjoy! Major changes: Wand of plenty no longer halves the max HP of cloned monsters. Resurrection altars now prioritize allies by number of times empowered, instead of by most recent death. In the case of a tie, they choose the monster type which is found deepest in the dungeon. The game now automatically identifies items where it is possible to deduce them from the discovered items screen. Potions of hallucination are identified when thrown if all benevolent potions are either identified or magic-detected. Increased absorption runic's minimum absorbed damage from 0 to 1. When the player is telepathic, correct monsters are shown when also hallucinating. When "display stealth range" is on, lit and dark areas are shown more clearly. Items which were taken from a vault now have a note indicating this in their item description. Identified +0 armor is prefixed with a +0, just like weapons. Autopilot is stopped when an item is stolen or a health alert is displayed. The automatic throw/cast path-adjusting tries to avoid unknown cells. Fixed that commands that use the control key (such as Ctrl+S for long search) not working in the terminal version. Fixed a bug which prevented a discorded ally from returning to normal after losing a stolen item in deep water. Fixed a crash that can happen when an explosive monster dies from poison or burning damage. Fix a bug which prevented sacrifice monsters from spawning on depth 21. Fixed over-cautious pathing through deeper dungeon levels when revealed by magic mapping. Fixed the sidebar to correctly show that negated status is removed on polymorph. Speeding up recording playback now also speeds up animations. During extra-slow recording playback, mouse and keyboard now respond instantly. 1,971 ### 1.1110 — 2022-05-22 BrogueCE is now version 1.11.0 !
