epic!!!
Chaotim
Absolutely sets the bar for what a roguelike should aim for. Developers take note as everything about this game should be analyzed in detail and emulated in different entities. I would love to see similar structured games with it populated with different situations and elements but maintain the overall mechanics and gameplay.
Fantastic game in need of an update!

I've been playing iOS games for about 6 years now, and this game is easily the best I've ever played. It's got a steep learning curve, controls that can be moved and customized, and endless replayability. It's a true roguelike, which means you should expect top down dungeon crawling with lots of random elements, permadeath, and many interesting decisions to make! I highly recommend it to everyone who isn't afraid to get used to its initially daunting control system, and of course everyone who knows that good graphics aren't a necessity to a good game. My only issue with it is the near abandonment of it by the developer. This game is in desperate need of a little polish (and wide screen support!). I'm sure every fan if the game would agree that some new weapon, spell, and monster types would be a welcome addition, as would a new sprite set from a professional pixel art designer. Maybe these are just foolish dreams, but I can't help wanting my favorite mobile to get the treatment it deserves!

11 years Jeff, 11 years you've been here, but all of the sudden you skip out on POWDER's 12th birthday!?!? How DARE you!
Don't Worry About The Price

Edit: There is a severe problem where the game will occasionally delete your save. It happens often enough to make it a SERIOUS issue. For this reason I cannot recommend Powder until a fix is put in place. Powder is pretty much the perfect mobile rogue like. Short(about 3 hours for a run), but suitably deep and complex. The customizable UI is excellent, and it cannot be understated how much it improves the game. The $10 price point may seem incredibly steep at first, but don't let that scare you off. You probably won't make it that far for awhile, and when you do, you'll have no problem paying Jeff Lait $10 :] Powder is an excellent roguelike with a lot of interesting mechanics. I feel comfortable recommending it to just about anyone. Pro-tip:Be sure to add the "Safe Walk" button to your UI, makes the whole game better.
Why?

Why is the PC version free, the Mac version paid, and the iOS version really expensive? And why has the most expensive version not been updated since 2012? Also, I would love to pay for this game ($10 though? Can I haggle for $5?), but I'm afraid that it will have a game-breaking bug (I already found 2) that will never be fixed.
