    Didn't show up in the updates section on iphone or macbook, but I went to the appstore on my iphone and the icon changed so I'm downloading now :D


    EDIT: After 3 attempts the game reverts to the old icon after it's downloaded and "installed" :(

    Any luck yet? Could be a transitional update thing. Nothing we've done could do that...

    Jeez, this and a Cavern update within a day of each other. I'm not gonna get any damn work done...

    Nope, Itunes on both have updated to 1.1 but I keep getting 1.0

    Very annoying but I know it's just the file hasn't propagated out to all the servers yet.

    I'm sure my bash attack of 10+ downloads of the same game probably isn't helping matters, hahaha

    Can someone describe the new difficulty levels? I want the actual content to be hard, but I hate permadeath. I don't want easy + no permadeath.

    First impressions: very very good. It FEELS like a new game and is clearly much harder now. However I had 2 questions...

    I found a Wand of Opening but when I equip it I can't use it for anything. Is this a bug?
    I've fallen down a couple of holes and the rope suggests I can climb back up (a climbable pit is above) but every time I try with the same rope I just fall straight back down again and lose health. This is annoying.

    Anyone else having trouble updating? I have downloaded it 4 times on iTunes... When I sync, it doesn't install the new version and it reverts to the old. I guess I'll just try to download on my touch.

    Hmm, you could try deleting it and re-downloading?

    Well, the only mode that does this is EASY mode, but it's really more or less like the old version + resurrection. NORMAL is like the old version, and HARD is well, hard. None of them are a breeze now, especially since I've rebalanced XP gains and such. Can't just grind up to level 60 anymore. ;)

    Did you play the tutorial? It tells you how to use the wand.

    You can fall randomly on ropes... the original (C64) game was 50% chance of falling, but our version is better odds than that. You're just unlucky. And your dude is a wimp. ;)

    Once you climb up the rope you are still standing on the hole... Perhaps you should move?

    A wand of opening sounds like it opens something that is locked... so maybe it doesn't do anything unless you find whatever it is that is supposed to be unlocked?

    What I mean is why does my avatar fall IMMEDIATELY back down when the message says "a climbable pit is above"? Before the update you could climb back up, now it seems you can't at all. I don't mind, it's just odd that it indicates you can climb back up when you can't. Signed, The Womble!

    Ahh, you're right... I should change it to "A possibly climbable pit above, based on random chance and certain character attributes that may be affected by various spells, objects and other factors in the game."

    ;)

    I still can't get the update to work... I tried downloading and installing on my touch, nothing. I deleted it off my touch and updated in iTunes and resynched, nothing. How do you get the update to work?!

    Edit: Nevermind. Redownloaded on touch again and it finally worked.

    It's not about working. The Appstore changes the info to the update quickly because it's just some text and images.

    The actual game needs to be distributed to all the servers so we can get it. The servers know an update is approved but they don't have the 1.1 file yet. You (and me for that matter) just keep downloading the 1.0 file over and over.

    Only patience is going to get us through this crisis
