POWDER 114
Update
powder100.PNG

Jeff Lait has updated his roguelike game POWDER to its 114th release, available for the GBA, DS, Wii, PSP, and most modern PC operating systems as well as a few other platforms.

Note: While the highscore is kept, save games are never preserved between versions. Please wait until your current character dies before upgrading.


* Help menus are no longer off by one. (Patrick Don't have one, Matt_S, Sam Spencer, Alex Marsh, Robert Barber, mattock)
* Remove potential crash when zapping wand of invisibility off map.
* Items are no longer revealed by hostiles searching.
* Status message "Searched" when you search to make it more clear you did something by searching.
* Correct lighting tests for giant mobs along with looser LOS requirements to see them.
* No longer crash if a rolling boulder kills the caster and then fills a hole.
* You can click-drag on display text to scroll it.
* Chris Lomaka's tiles have been updated with some nice new additional icons.
* Help menus are platform specific, so GBA users should no longer be taunted with stylus help, etc.
* The Akoi Meexx 10x10 and 12x12 tilesets are enabled in SDL builds. The 10x10 has had a round of manual smoothing applied to it.
* Status bar on iPhone now rotates and is hidden in landscape mode.
* iPhone now uses native keyboard controls.
* If you start the game in a room with only secret exits, you are explicitly told that there are secret exits to search for. (Eisel Mazard)

I play this fantastic, free, homebrew game more than any commercial game on my DS. It's super addictive and has endless replay. If only there were some sounds or option for MP3 playback or something.

    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
