Gah, this is unfortunate! The engine I use doesn't have support for alternate keyboard layouts, so I'd have to re-code the whole game to fix it cohesively. I've been adding alternate inputs as a workaround as I learn about them. Ctrl+M opens manual, Ctrl+L toggles lightpearl, but staircases is a new one.

I'll let you know next time I update, I'll add alternative keybinds for climbing. Sorry for the inconvenience!

It's [?], on QWERTY that's shift+[/]. If you're on a non-qwerty keyboard, Ctrl+M is an alternate input for it.

When you say bash didn't work, what do you mean? Did it say "You bash the door, but it holds!"? If so, perseverance should eventually break it down.

You can save and quit with ctrl+S.

Thanks for the report! Also, congratulations for being the first person I've heard from who actually completed my game. Thanks for sticking with it!

I've released version 1.0.9, which fixes both this issue and the drop 0 items bug.

OH, good catch! I'll fix that in the next update.

Thanks! Can you clarify this a bit? What kind of item was it? Did it drop from an enemy or spawn on the dungeon floor? Where did it happen? Et cetera.

Sure, I don't see why not. Here's all past versions, plus a number of pre-release builds for fun. No guarantees on quality or even completability.

Hello! I'm afraid the older versions aren't available at the moment, and I'm not sure how itchio pages generally organize multiple versions of a game. Just for posterity, though, here's the very buggy initial release version.

Whoops, I missed the 'privately' part. I just set up a bsky account, same name as this one, does that work?

You mean those old danmakufu games? Sure, but the code for them is long lost, and I don't have any intention of continuing work on them.

Thanks for playing! You are correct in that I balanced it pretty easy on purpose, due to this just being the first dungeon. 

There definitely are bad items - you just got lucky. I'll probably make the ratio overall meaner in the final game.

Love the game, more people need to hear about this! I'm completely stuck on a certain boss fight where a death timer is introduced in the final phase. It seems to just be mathematically impossible to win... anyone else gotten this far?
