No, design is my favorite part of making games, so I wouldn’t remove the part I enjoy. 

In earlier builds new traps/monsters came around the same time, but I adjusted it and it felt a lot better. You challenge yourself to beat the higher tier adventures with what you have and then you get some tools to make it easier or allow you to beat them with shorter floors

Okay that will be an easy option to add!

it will show the save game, but I suggest restarting. Too much change and honestly there are a lot of things that trigger throughout. I’m not sure how necroing an old save file will go lol

the playtest version on Steam had character sheets for adventurers that give information on where each class places its highest and lowest stats

After I fix some of the feedback from the playtest the build should be live on itch (targeting Sunday 7/26)

sorry about the frustration

Here is the current breakdown of where adventurers assign their best stat. In this current build adventurers don’t assign a worst stat to a specific stat(next update will feature that)

Fighter = STR

Cleric = WIS

Mage = INT

Ranger = DEX

Barbarian = CON

Bard = CHA

I’ll add that to my list thanks! 

If you hit escape in game there is an link to a feedback Google form, but leaving comments here too works

thanks for playing!

what the heck. I’ve played many times and I’ve never seen this one 😭

First of all absolutely not your fault. The system I initially implemented was a bit flawed for the reasons you outlined. In the current build that you played adventurers assign their highest score to their primary attribute, Clerics = Wisdom, Rangers = Dex, etc.

There is no feedback in game telling you that which is a problem. I have since added this information in several places. I put it on the treasures, I made character sheets for each class. 

In addition I think it is interesting if each class also assigns their lowest score to a specific stat, so it is more easy to make a strategy.

I have also ramped up early bartender serving speeds to better keep up with tables, so its not quite as fiddly. 

This update should be out in the next week. Thanks for playing and sorry for the headaches :-)

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the balance is the mess later on and thanks for pointing out the lich bug. 

In the coming build I’ve sped up the adventurers heading into the dungeon and rope speed significantly , so that should be live soon + some more content

thanks for playing!

for the demo it just represents the “end” point for the demo. 

I’m adding additional content above the tavern for the demo update and even more stuff in the full game

I'm adding some women AND lizard representation! and I'm calling for a ceasefire. I don't like deleting discussion, but its getting a bit frisky. Working on some non-white people right now!

I largely agree with you. The only reason it costs you the soul is to prevent the best way to play the game to be: Any time your monster is missing health -> delete and replace them. 

It would be a very powerful way to play the game and also annoying to manage. I'll keep thinking about a better solution because I don't like losing the soul as well

damn what the heck. I’ve been working in a big content update that should be out in a week or two

I’ll make sure I test for this. Thanks for the report

thanks! I’m glad you like it

yeah web version seems to have issues for some machines. I wanted to focus on creating more content over chasing down these issues. 

Sorry about that!

Yeah is quite powerful. Even with a nerf Mithril golem would still be apt

I’m adding a croissant vendor on the second floor. Maybe there needs to be support for the stacked steaks as well

thank you. Two of my design pillars were inevitability and personalization, so I’m glad that came across

nothings worse than when you want to try a build that sounds fun to you and it doesn’t work. Some thing might be more efficient, but I’ve seen players get to the end without reading anything lol

thanks for the kind review 

delete this

This games design is brilliant! Super excited for the full release

oops fighter is strength

Oh yeah building weird atypical builds is what playing RPGs is all about for me

My favorite char was a level 2 tempest cleric/rest lvls sorcerer. Destructive wrath lets you max thunder lightning damage once per day. max damage chain lightning goes crazy lol

Coming soon!

Their char sheets will indicate their highest stats and lowest stats. Each class will assign its highest and lowest rolls to the same stats each time

In the current build they only assign their best stat

Fighter = STR

Cleric = WIS

Mage = INT

Ranger = DEX

Barbarian = CON

Bard = CHA

deleting the treasure and replacing it will probably fix the issue in the meantime, but I'll work out something permanant

are you playing in browser or the latest version 0.1.1?  I fixed a few bugs that caused adventurers to get stuck. I’ll do some testing to see if there are more ways this happens

 Coins are gained when adventures die and drop it. The amount is based on the level of the adventurer. The sewer grate trap also provides gold if they fail a skill check. This all contributes to the coin gaining rate

incentives For higher level rewards are larger party sizes (kill more adventurers) and they drop more gold because the higher tiers attract higher level adventurers

There will be a bit more guidance in the future that is planned, but I’m working hard to make this all clear without walls of tutorial text.

thank you for checking it out!! 

edit: oh and the souls rate accounts for spending souls to summon monsters on that floor, so if you are positive that’s good!

yup I’ll get on that right now. Also you should be able to sell traps and monsters you don’t want anymore. 

I love when your that guy I forgot lmao!

I added scroll bars in the latest build https://minmaxwell.itch.io/inn-over-your-head/devlog/1470270/bug-fixes-v011-update-now-with-100-more-scroll-bar

thank you for reporting that

I have added the fabled scroll bars! 

https://minmaxwell.itch.io/inn-over-your-head/devlog/1470270/bug-fixes-v011-upda...

It’s not Pokémon, bro chill lmao

I pinky promise I’ll get this fixed soon. 

Yeah unfortunately you have to rely on deep RPG lore right now. Mini character sheets are coming with adventurer stats, but right now adventurers roll for stats and put their highest roll in their "main" stat

Barbarians = STR

Cleric = WIS

Mage = INT

Ranger = DEX

Barbarian = CON

Bard = CHA

So if you place a treasure that attracts a bard for example you should place traps that don't check their charisma

hope this helps!

yeah I think that is due me cutting out some of the later game content because the quality wasn’t there yet. 

Stay tuned for future builds!

Thanks for playing. Full steam ahead on development. I have a lot of content planned

And thanks for your kind review! I'm glad you liked it

I watched the whole video. Very thoughtful critiques I think think the next content update fixes a couple of the things you brought up.

Next update will more strategic management options in the tavern

Thanks! you are the first to cover my game!

Lol there is a lot more to come! I hope to see you back when I add more content

Thanks for giving it a try! 

Traps are severely neglected right now. There are too few and like you said have some balancing issues. Next content update will be a new area and more traps!

Inn Over Your Head is an incremental strategy game where you manage a bustling tavern with a deadly dungeon beneath it. Serve ale, expand your tavern, and watch the gold pile up, then spend it digging deeper into the dungeon below. Place treasure to lure adventurers to their doom, arm your floors with traps and monsters, and harvest the souls of the fallen to grow even stronger. With tavern automation, dungeon customization, and numbers that never stop going up, there's always something to optimize.

Game is out now! Please let me know what you think!
