Here’s the most recent playable demo, from November 9th, 2009. It should run on any version of Windows. Please understand that this is a pre-release demo, so some of the graphics are preliminary placeholders.  Download version 1692 here. (25.4 MB zip file)

Updates since version 1597:

  • The game finally runs fullscreen. No more black border around the edge of the screen!
  • Added a simple jump for the player (right mouse button).
  • The player can only have one weapon equipped at a time now, because the other button is used to jump.
  • The mouse scroll wheel can now be used to change weapons.
  • Added the Eagle Feather item and several accessories.
  • Added three new enemies: bee hive, jumping rock, and doppleganger. The graphics are preliminary placeholders for all three.
  • Added nine new maps to feature the new enemies.
  • Added a simple world map to the menu. It still needs a lot of work.
  • Removed the minigame. There will be other minigames included later.
  • New music for several of the areas.
  • Various other small additions and fixes.

Partial list of known bugs in this version:

  • Tree shadows cause visual glitches near the top and left sides of the screen.
  • Some of the scrolling menus may leave visual trails/glitches.
  • Jumping off a map may cause the game to freeze. This is rare.
  • There are some weapon aiming issues that I need to fix.

    Very nice, I got to level 102 of the infinit dungeon and the game crashed with error code 7???? something. Looking great! :)

      Thanks! And lol… I haven’t gotten that far up the tower. I think the highest I’ve gone is about half of that. So, I’ll check it out and see if I can figure out why it crashed for you. :)

    Yeah, once you get the blood stone you’re basically unbeatable :) I believe it was going from level 101 to level 102 where i saw the crash, not sure what happened, it gets pretty hectic when you get that high up.

    Okay, two months later, I finally investigated this and fixed the problem. I haven’t decided whether or not the endless tower is going to be included in the final game – but now if it is, I’ve fixed it so it is truly “endless”.

    As is, I must admit the endless dungeon does get a little boring especially with the godlike powers life leech gives once you get good at doing damage. I agree, probably focus on the other parts of the game and see if this kind of thing fits in later or something. overall still loving the flow of the game!

    Hi,
    I always get error code 2525 while starting a new game. The screenshots seem nice, so I wanna try the game, but …
