- Agreed! Definitely need clearer instructions about the Elevators.
The "hop up one brick" thing is definitely a bug, you're not supposed to be able to do that :p - Diamonds are randomly spawned starting a certain depth, but the spawn rate could be higher. For the game jam I idn't have time to implement a condition that offers at least one diamond if you make it to the bottom.
- The combat is a risk/reward situation: you can get killed, but you also get loot if you're victorious (note that it doesn't consume your torch while you're in combat, so you don't really lose in-game time).
Thanks a lot for playing and for your feedback :)
