Greetings. I’ve been keeping an eye on your updates. Nice to see you here.

The cartridge does not contain “pixel dungeon” in the video.

Someone simply added that to the still shot.

The link is a commercial spam/ad.

IMHO you should be banned a week for this.

I do mainly ranged combat. I have a decent melee weapon if an enemy gets too close, so I worry less about the armour. Too, I’m about to get a STR potion and will then be okay with the armour. I’m dumping UPGRADES into my ring of Sharpshooting as that raises the LEVEL of the bow. It is tactics. I’ll worry about armour once I have plate. It is a very good run, especially for a challenge run.

I have a very good start on my Huntress 3 challenge.

Although it usually doesn’t, it can. However, I find more often than not, with large spaces like that there is often a hidden room or two.

As the one system is already coded, rather than remove it, why not simply make it a players choice?

A simple checkbox option in settings for simple or advanced alchemy mode.

Appeases everyone.

Pro: I like the new items and numerous expansions

Con: It all happens too fast. By the time I reached level 5 I already had over 125 upgrade scrolls, 500,000 gold, every common item from armor to rings and identified.

IMHO there should be less starting items, spread them accross the dungeon.

The title screen should be changed to identify your mod.

Why put a security lockout on the game to prevent screenshots?

Update: The game crashes when destroying pillars on the DM-300 boss fight. Can’t proceed any further.

Family first. Take care.

Sometimes the ledge with a chest is just out of view and you won’t see it until you get closer.

Other times, it is just an empty room waiting for you to rush in and fall to your death.

It will cost you to find out.

A potion of levetation, a torch to see further, etc.

I don’t have a means to test the effectiveness of the armor on the Ghost in FIMA, but it appears to work well.

I eventually provided her plate armor and a war hammer, using her as a shield. pity she can’t use rings

I simply see it as a stradegy to winning. Of course, it means getting the Rose and enough petals to be of use.

I once had a warroir with brimstone armor and an elastic sword. I stood in a room full of burning traps and used a scroll of rage. When the monsters came running I just kept snapping them onto the traps. Quite amusing too.

I also get a good laugh when the leaping demons jump into pits, killing themselves. Or, Ratmogrifying an Evil Eye as it hovers over a pit. Did you know that rats can’t fly?

Another method I like to use is throwing a Stone of Aggression at the King after he has summond his minion’s and just let them attack him.

An upgraded wand of lightning is another effective tactic.

That is what I love about these games, figuring out HOW to beat it. It isn’t just about hack-n-slash.

FYI

The scroll wiped out all 58.

Left me stunned for a while.

Most of my challenge run and ascension are archer/sniper. I will use my first Upgrade scroll in a pot and make Enchantment stones, using one on the bow a saving the other.

If you can’t purchase, or find an Augmentation stone, use a Transmutation scroll in a pot. Augment your bow for speed. Multiple shots at a distance along with the enchanted effect works very well.

If you are lucky to get a Ring of Might, use some Upgrades on it. Eventually you will get into mêlée and want to punch hard and fast.

Ring of Evasion with a few upgrades, and cloth armor with Stone enchanted also works well if you can get the right luck.

This is good to know. In the past I used

https://github.com/alessiomarotta/shpd-seed-finder

It is over a year old.

I will update my personal archive to use your up-to-date version.

Very nicely done!

Samsung Galaxy, running Android 13.

I search for ring of sharpshooting. Ran several times comparing seeds and levels and testing to locate in game and it is working.

For Android users, no more need for Windows version (outdated too).

Very nice.

I did 10 run’s with 7 assends, 1 called, 2 deaths on the new v2.3.0 SPD.

I use the Huntress as I prefer ranged fighting. My last run was the worst though as I didn’t get a Tier 4+ weapon until I bought one on level 20; food was scarce; and I didn’t find a Tier 4+ armor until level 15. A +3 Ring of Arcana, projecting Great Shield, Bow with lightning enhancement, armor of Thorns, and several Bland Fruit with green seeds are what saved me in the lower levels. Defeated Yog but with no health or food remaining and a far more difficult assent, I called it a day.

The random aspect of the game absolutely plays a part.

Also, not only is the evolution of Rogue into Roguelike into Pixel Dungeon interesting, you may enjoy checking out 00-Evan’s complete Pixel Dungeon ARCHIVE that features every version of the original Pixel Dungeon.

Note that the very first PD does not play well with most devices, it never did.

If you would like to try the first ever Pixel Dungeon that launched a whole new generation of Roguelikes, you can try this modified build that works on Android 13.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tGISfYHVqA-tjIPwe6LXkfqbe-N3e6YO/view

Do keep in mind, this was the first release and lacks a great many things in modern PD’s, but it is still playable.

I’ve been informed that Nethack 3.7.0 was released in 2023 for Windows and a few other systems (not Android). The Android newest release is 3.6.6-2

It includes several popular Tile sets to chose from and the option to load Custom sets.

The tile sets prior to 3.6.0 no longer work in the new versions, however, I was able to locate several more and put them into this archive.

Having done some research into this, I find no tool that will do what you want, at least in the way that you want. Everything I find points to recent additions to Android Studio, the APK Analyzer (and apps like it). The tool has significant drawbacks however for this purpose. It doesn’t store results, so they must be manually copied and stored. Also, comparison is one app to a second app, with no option for batch comparison. This leaves one manually bubble-sorting hundreds of Pixel Dungeon APK’s. It doesn’t take folder structure into account, nor does it take image relocation or resizing into account. It is best used for comparing different versions of the same app.

If anything should come up, I’ll post here, but given complexities of modern apps, I don’t see this ever being a simple project.

I did some hunting around and found something I think you will enjoy.

THIS is a link to an archive of 3 Android APK’s including Nethack, UnNethack that expanded on Nethack, and Slash’Em that vastly expanded on both.

There is a minor annoyance however, Google. They love breaking things that work, and when they switched to Android 11 Google broke thousands of game’s. In this case, Android prevents these APK’s from creating the data folder (unless one is running an older version of Android).

The fix is simple but implimenting it can be annoying. The easiest method is to attach your device to a PC and make the folders (screw Android’s security). For those who don’t have a PC, you will have to use a File explorer with permission to make folders in the Android\Data folder.

If you get an error that the game can’t process the content, it is because Android prevented the installation from making the folder. The 3 folder you “may” have to manually create to run the games are -

com.tbd.NetHack

con.tbd.UnNetHack

com.tbd.slex

That aside, the 3 games will work on Android 13.
