Re: Calling Shenanigans on the 12 hour finish people
Surprised that not one person is this thread has mentioned the fact that old school map drawing such as I do ..adds significant time to the play through. A lot of people went this route.

Re: Going back up the levels for treasure
Leave it for your next play through. Gives you another reason to play the game again.

SpoilerShow
There is a button I believe 3 squares down from the lightning face, on the north side of the hallway. Orient your self north . Go down the hallway right after the face fires... hit the button and scoot in the doorway, 3 more squares down backwards

Re: Any chance of a mini-map?
Draw your own map old school style, and it will always be available there on the desk right beside you. Not a minimap, but a full size map. Having a minimap on the screen would have ruined the experience for me.

Re: Do you have general combat tips to share?
I have to say, even though I've played tons of these block-style dungeon crawl games, it has always (and still does) felt like cheating to do the move and strike their side thing. Backpedaling and using ranged weapons on a slow enemy is one thing, but the tactics described above really feels like y...

Re: Broken compass, seems fine to me?
Or you have these compasses that are in bubbles, that are hanging on the rear view mirrors of a lot of vehicles. They are simply compasses with a rotating dial that is backwards ..SO they work exactly like a normal compass. But they actually show you which direction you are heading. . S E W . N In t...

Re: Broken compass, seems fine to me?
Regardles ..they still point towards the north. That's not regardless, that's you're wrong about the definition of a compass. Here's a better one: A device used to determine geographic direction, usually consisting of a magnetic needle or needles horizontally mounted or suspended and free to pivot ...

Re: Broken compass, seems fine to me?
Well then ..why argue it. It obviously works just like it is supposed to..Why complain because it makes you think a little more than you want to. Its only used for old school map drawing anyway..Its pretty useless if you have the automap turned on. Um. I just mapped the entire game on grid paper, a...

Re: Broken compass, seems fine to me?
Most compasses are cardinal, in that they highlight the four cardinal points. Not all compasses point towards magnetic north, however. If it is actually a compass it does indeed point to magnetic north. Definition of a compass: An instrument containing a magnetized pointer that shows the direction ...
