Game Title: KRYPTVAULT

Playable Link: https://oddslice.itch.io/kryptvault

Platform: web (itch)

Description:

Kryptvault is a small arcade roguelike where the enemies never stop. Waves flow into each other, the walls reshuffle around you, and every level-up deals you three cards. Each one is a trade: more damage but a slower trigger, more speed but thinner skin. If you're feeling brave, there are cursed cards that make you stronger while making the whole crypt meaner.

There are 21 upgrades and 4 evolutions, with no free power. Combine Shotgun and Homing to get the Seeker Swarm, or Pierce and Damage for the Railgun. You can play three classes: a tanky Warrior, a fast Rogue, or a glass-cannon Mage. Bosses rotate between the Charger, the Summoner, and the Spiral. There's a global leaderboard, a portable TAG#0000 identity, and a vault key that logs you in from any machine. A daily challenge gives everyone the same dungeon once a day, and the Vault lets you bank coins between runs for permanent upgrades.

The whole thing is one HTML file. 

Controls: WASD or arrows to move. Aiming is automatic, so your only job is positioning and card choices. P pauses. On mobile, drag to move and tap to pick a card(still a bit buggy).

This is the first stable build, id call it beta - I have more plans to evolve it, but I want more feedback. Already got some from my friends. I want to see how OP or broken builds people can make, whats the max wave people can get - current is W 18. Please be brutal with your feedback. I much appreciate it!

I had no idea this guy had been struggling so much. I sincerely hope the game is doing well enough to encourage him to keep at it

For me it's one of the best games to come in a long time

First time making it this far. Rodney and his clone were in the bottom right near that upstairs (I think I stood on the stairs up to Vlad's by mistake) and I can't check with the psychic intrinsic because they cursed all my towels. They've stolen the Amulet and every other invocation item except for the Candelabrum. I put on a ring of conflict to try to make the encounter easier, but they cursed that too. They summoned a master mindflayer who ate my brain and now I've got a bunch of unidentified stuff. This run was tricky from nearly the get-go since I got turned into a were rat early on and ate a dead rat before praying and was branded a cannibal (I wasn't even transformed). So I've been dealing with aggravate monsters intrinsic nearly the entire run, and I guess Rodney came out to play early. This is the excuse I'm using for having such abysmal AC and a bunch of unused wishes (I thought I still had time to prepare). How screwed am I?

it's on sale for 2.74$ (steam) and I'm a little bit confused about it

Well, after playing DCSS, CDDA the past week as a new player to the RL genre, and after seeing all the posts in this subreddit I decided to take advantage of the summer sale and stock myself up good for the next few months.

Any other recommendations apart from what I got?

Hello everyone! I've been working on a little project that I want to share with you all. For my first major dive into coding and development, I decided to make a NetHack variant, complete with its own Android port. I really love the pet system in NetHack, so I decided to tweak it to be even more fun!

Introducing... PetHack!

PREMISE & NOTES

• PetHack is a simple variant geared towards pet lovers. It makes it easier to obtain and manage pets while still having the classic NetHack feel.
• PetHack is based on NetHack 5.0.0. This will likely be the only release of PetHack unless there are bugs. The goal was not to make extreme changes, but rather to upgrade and serve a specific playstyle.
• All tilesets that are compatible with NetHack 5.0.0 should be compatible with PetHack!
• I am very, very new to coding and GitHub. If there are any issues with the game or repositories, please let me know and I will do my best to fix them!

CHANGELOG

• Changed Tourist role
  • They now start with 3-5 tripe rations, 3-5 scrolls of taming, a blessed spellbook of charm monster, a blessed magic whistle, a sack, a leash, and a blessed random figurine in addition to their original starting equipment
    • The figurine is completely random, meaning it can be any monster (not based on level/depth) while still following mostly normal figurine generation rules. For added fun, monsters that are not randomly generated (but are still non-undead humans and non-unique) can have figurines made of them in this instance. For example, you can start with a figurine of a Keystone Kop!
  • They now start with Basic in enchantment spells and can reach Expert
• Changed charm monster back to a level 3 spell
• If you throw an item to an intelligent pet with hands, they will catch it and equip it if applicable. They will prioritize using items you give them over other items. This idea came from FIQHack.
• Intelligent pets will now hoard healing potions even when they're healthy. Be careful to manage this properly!
• Rebalanced figurine BUC effects
  • Blessed: 100% tame
  • Uncursed: 10% tame, 70% peaceful, 20% hostile
  • Cursed: 0% tame, 10% peaceful, 90% hostile
• New store: Toy store
  • This is a shop that only sells figurines. Figurines that generate in toy stores (or shops in general) can also be of any monster regardless of the player’s level and depth. They follow the same generation rules as the Tourist's starting figurine.
  • Figurine base prices now scale with the monster’s difficulty (difficulty x 50). For example, figurines of Archons will be expensive, while figurines of lichens will be cheap.
• Keep in mind that you still cannot wish for figurines of the not-randomly-generated monsters. They can only appear in shops and the Tourist's starting inventory. If you really want one, you have to leave it up to chance!

Good luck, and happy hacking!

I wish it was, i dont have a pc to play this game, ive played it ages ago on pc.

Edit: i managed to play the game on game native. One problem. I cannot hear music. Not sure why, only sound effects, unless the music is later on in the game???

Edit 2: the game is working with sound. However i think i got hacked, my gane files were deleted and the winlaters corrupted/files deleted.
