unsurprisingly, in the process of fixing everything i also unfixed a couple of other things. those things are now also fixed. (specifically: touch controls are now adjusted correctly when screens have a weird notch thing, and the menu buttons are no longer invisibly active in the game)

Puzzling

roguelike from an exceptional game designer.

Edit: Thanks very much for the unexpected update!

Updated?!?

Yes!!!! Updated to run on current devices! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Michael! I thought this was long abandoned. Very pleased to play it again on mobile!!!

My favorite phone game designer!

Huge fan of Michael Brough’s games. Such a delight to play these seemingly simply-executed yet deep and complex (and crushingly hard!) tactical games. This is the spiritual precursor to the brilliant 868-HACK (my all time favorite and most-played phone game).

These are such welcome throwback-style games in a world of overwrought animations and in-game ads. Every one of Brough’s games are absolute bargains.

The classic is back!

I really missed this little game.

It’s a lovely simple(?) glitchy rogue like that is just fun to play.
