Information for playing the modification:

new to this version:

- Linux port (thanks to RIP)

fixed in this version:

- removed the long gameplay variant, which was not fully functional due to a bug. The short gameplay variant is recomended.

- fixed a bug leading to crashes if petpinky was spawned outside the main dungeon.

- fixed a bug associated with entering the dungeon after using the teleporter. 


added/changed in 5.0:

- Special "non-dungeon" levels including an overworld and two distinct boss rooms.

- Every few levels, teleporters are available to travel to the "overworld". The shop is only available
  in the overworld.

- Special unique intermediate boss enemies with respawning minions and unique abilities.

- Special final boss "The Balrog", with unique properties.

- 4 adjustable light levels with optional ambient lighting.

- several minor gameplay fixes and improvements.


added/changed in 4.0:

- Ability system for fighters. Weapon efficiency is increased by selecting abilities after level advance.

- Selectable game length. In the shorter gametypes, enemy difficulty increases quicker making for a less repetitive and more challenging game.

- True random generation of dungeons and enemy/trap placement. Everytime you start a new game the dungeon is generated new. Still, identical dungeon maps are generated by repeated visits to the same dungeonlevel within a game session.

- ROE version includes ROE enemies.

- Advanced lighting effects. Remember to use torches or lanterns to illuminate the dungeon. Ambient light level is dependent on the selected difficulty level with most light available in "easy" setting.



Feature list:

- Three different difficulty settings with variations in light level, trap visibility, enemy toughness and enemy behavior.

- Three different game length settings starting with a 20 level quickgame, a 50 level medium game and a lengthy 100 level long gameplay mode. Enemy difficulty increases faster in quicker games.

- 10 different magical spells with 3 different skill levels each.

- Fighters can use experience to improve weapon usage.

- Ammunition, Potions, Scrolls and various light sources are available in shops.

- Special enemy capabilities, including paralyzing, blinding, poisoning, teleporting and invisibility.

- Traps which cause damage, status effects or Level transitions (Trapdoors).

- Magically summoned pet pinky (credits to tinman).

- Refreshment fountains to replenish health or mana.

- Hidden Doors, which are activated by secret buttons open passages and rooms containing tougher enemies and/or special chests.

Spells and Items are activated using a menu built into the player hud. Use the T and G keys to scroll through available spells. At the beginning only one spell is available, but more spells can be learned at higher levels. USe the Y and H keys to scroll through available items bought in the shop. A maximum of 15 items can be stacked. Use the B key to use/cast the selected item/spell, or use the V key and sussequently one of the hotkeys (Q, E, Z or X) to assign the item/spell to this hotkey.

By killing enemies you will earn experience, which will enable advances in character level. You will earn two ability points at each level advance.

More spells/abilities and higher levels will become available later in the game. At higher spell levels, casting is more likely to succeed and costs less mana.
