Thank you friend. It's nice to see the genre thrive, even if it is hard to come by in english. Not that it's my native language or smt but I can manage - unlike the magic tower games in chinese which I can't make a lick of :( It would be great to be able to play a remake of the original with a proper ending too.

Nice game. I had contact with TotS back in the day as a kid (the english/windows version which was passed around in CDs with free games) and just now found it spawned a genre. This sequel of sorts plays much better than the original, the only downside is that it is dramatically easier even for new players - to the point giving the cross to the fairy (receiving the ~30% boost in everything) is completely optional until the second last floor. Was it intended to the last staircase to be spawned only after we give her the cross?
PS. I'd like to present a few suggestions: A new game+ mode (or "back side") and a difficulty setting (maybe different starting stats/items, the rest staying the same)
About falling into the void: It happened to me in the following way: during one of my first playthroughs I tried to open a chest while standing on it. It pushed me through the wall and trapped me where I couldn't come back, so I jumped into the void to respawn. I think it's in that small room with treasure and a spike trap.
I didn't mention that because I'm fairly used to these sort of bugs and since they don't "break" the game I don't give them much attention.
Also, there's a lone barrel in the storage area that you can walk through, it was probably an oversight.
EDIT: Regrettably, I can't figure how to get other endings. Will there be a walkthrough of sorts, even if just tips as to how change one from another?
Thanks for responding. Well, the stairway was blocked, just as all other rooms. I couldn't do anything and so I've restarted.
Since I was playing again after a game where I got another ending by entering the coffin, perhaps that what made the stairs remain blocked? Maybe they aren't reset on some occasions? EDIT: I also had 0 loot.
As for endings, i've got the best one (1) first and then 2, 3, 8 and 12. 12 was cool.
EDIT: i'll retry a crownless run right now by speeding through the game.
EDIT 2: I can confirm now that making a beeline to the exit with 0 loot results in all doors either blocked or locked at the throne rooms. Collecting loot does not change this after reaching the throne rooms
EDIT 3: Just found out an important item on prison that was overlooked since rushing to the throne room doesn't involve getting there :)
