This was a fun little time-waster. I built a ring around a Broken Ring, a Whetstone, the hat that gives you +haste every turn, the lightning bolt that hurts all enemies at the start of your turn, and a bunch of Shivs.

I died on Floor 16 when I ran out of mana (near the end I had to spam Broken Ring multiple times on the first couple of turns to not die), but I probably could've gotten further if I hadn't sold some boots and a helmet like an idiot (for whatever reason, the fact that Haste was better the more sources of armor you had didn't occur to me until it was too late.)

I was also mildly screwed over by the armor cap — when I fought the Badger boss on endless mode, I was generating something like 200+ armor per turn, but I lost half of that due to the cap. I kinda wish I had known about it beforehand, but that's neither here nor there.

I can think of two small QoL improvements for the (otherwise excellent) game:

  1. Please let players see what the status effects do when you hover over an item in your backpack — you figure out what they do pretty soon, but it can kinda suck when you're looking at a Curse and wondering how bad it actually is.
  2. Please include some kind of function (maybe shift+click?) that lets you use an item as many times as possible. There were quite a few times where my turn effectively boiled down to "hit Whetstone 3+ times, then click on all of my Shivs", and it would have been nice if I could've done that in fewer clicks.

EDIT: If anyone is curious, this was my third run, and the first one where I beat the King.

I decided I'd record a run, and eventually got to this point:


Yes, that is 100 regeneration under my character (thank you, My First Wand + Wizard Cap, for being utter nonsense). The entire run was a cakewalk up until I got into this fight, where I died on turn 3 from Fire Geckos being jerks. That said, if I had seen a single damage-dealing wand, I could've wiped them off the field with minimal effort — generating 5 mana a turn is really, really nice, especially when you have a Whetstone backing it up.

Add me to the chorus of people who think there needs to be a better way of dealing with poison — the rag in the top-left of my inventory is the only kind of anti-poison item I ran into on my run (other than some Cleansing Potions, but those hardly count).

Maybe the Cleansing Wands (which I ran into, like, 12 of) could clear your debuffs instead of clearing enemy buffs? Or maybe poison could "eat" regeneration before it hit your health? I dunno, I just think that it's a little odd that there are only a handful of items that can deal with poison effectively, especially given how much of it gets thrown around by some of the enemies in the endless mode.

Seconding the removal of the armor cap. I had a build that could have beat the endless-mode badger boss on floor 15, but due to the armor cap I didn’t actually get all the armor needed to survive:
