Thank you for trying angain. A score of 79 is already quite good! :-)

It depends on the situation and the level you are in. Exploration is more important in the early levels.

Could you please register. Currently you are listed as "Guest#90" in the global rankings. Would be nice to see your name there. Your password will be encrypted do to current standard, and I can neither see nor derive it. If you leave your email and allow email-notifications, I will send you the links, so you can watch the replays of your games.

I'm good enough to get a placement in the rankings? There are replays of the game?
Next time I try I will register.

Is there a way to make a downloadable version? Normally I ask the other way around, but this game is something I will definetly play every now and then in the future, so a desktop icon would be far better than going over itch^^

In order to see the rankings, klick "[4] global rankings" on title screen (or press [4]). You are currently listed as "Guest#90". The rankings can be sorted by different criteria. If you register, the games you played as guest will also be labeled with your username. So you do not have to play a new game.

The replays are a beta feature and not released yet. But I already use them to analyze games and they are also useful to detect cheating.

The game is written in JavaScript on the frontend and uses PHP and MySQL for the backend. In the moment it is only playable in the browser.

JS and PHP?

You mean you wrote it all by yourself without a proper game engine? This is impressive. I'll send this to some of my neighbors which are PHP devs, to prove they are just too lazy to make games 😁

I used the JavaScript roguelike-library rot.js by Ondřej Žára. Apart from this I wrote everything myself.

There ist still this ugly "Guest#90" in the rankings. So please register, so I can see you as "KeyboardKrieger" there.

I wasn't on my PC yet 😂

Us this linked to my itch account or to my browser per cookie?

Nevermind, checked it myself. I'm currently on one of my laptops and here I'm not guest90, so I'll wait with registration until I sit on my desktop pc next time.
