No, not really. :)
I liked CoQ, but didn't bother playing it in-depth due to having to repeat the scripted quests over and over.

I can't see the dark tiles

Unless you make a fullscreen mode I can't even see half the tiles because of how bright xp/internet explorer is.(assuming I have all the lights off too.)
Nine-tenths of the screen is not viewable most of the time. Unlike a few roguelikes you may be used to, the game does not map itself for you...and without a light source or shiny pants, you can only see a couple blocks in each direction.

To exist or not exist, that is the query. For whether it is more optimal of the CPU to endure the viruses and spam of outragous fortune, or to something something something.

I've uploaded a new version of Diggr today.

Highlights: a new, hand-crafted visual skin and important balance and UX fixes. Also, full-screen mode support. :)

Thanks.

Ooo, awesome. Been a bit busy lately, but I'll be sure to play again soon, and take over those high score boards ;).

I was lucky enough to start with 2 portable holes, a miners lamp, and a pelorus (Thing that detects enemies). On lvl 2, I found ring mail, a long sword, and a wand of killing. :D LUCKY LOOT TIME!

Hello all.

I've released a new version today, v11.10.23.

Changes:
  • Procedurally-generated sound.
  • Procedurally-generated music.
  • Scores are now normalized to 1000 points. (1000 being roughly the minimum needed to win the game.)

Try it out (http://code.google.com/p/diggr-roguelike) and let me know how it works. (Especially if you're running Linux. :) )

Thank you.

I just got the time to try this, and I have to say I am enjoying this very much.
The music is also pretty cool.

...Procedurally generated music to go with the procedurally generated dungeon? Now that is what I call pure awesome!

Yea, the soundtrack is very simple, but it is effective and sounds very good.
I am not sure how I feel about combat being down to four numbers; but then again the learning curve of this game has been nice so far.

Hello again to all.

A new release has been released today.

v11.11.06 changes:

  • An all-new crafting system, for creating special super-powerful artifacts.
  • A new game mechanic for unlocking player superpowers.
  • A new, secret dungeon branch. The new branch provides a faster track to winning the game. (Or at least landing a higher score.)
  • Usability and UI fixes. (Check out the new 'z' command.)
  • Bugs squashed!
   
Try it out and let me know how you like it.

IMO, these changes open up a couple interesting new strategies and make for a much more intense gameplay experience.

Thank you.

Right on schedule, I've released a new version today.

Changes:
   
  • A quest, of sorts: the Rehablitation Thunderdome.
  • A literal Deus ex machina.
  • Two new interesting cellular automata mechanics. (Swamp gas and black mold.)
  • Bugfixes, of course.

P.S. The game feels slightly easier now, mostly on account of the Thunderdome.

Thank you!
