i die multiple times, and it remains
it's my own engine, but it uses PIXI for webgl rendering and rot.js for FOV and pathfinding
the special effect words are a fun touch! only one I found was jolt. Really solid game! I really enjoyed it except for the couple times I spawned in a two-tile dead end with a monster right next to me. But that just means I get to try again!
tips:
1. "die" one-shots normal monsters, but not the boss.
2. "coal" is a fire spell
3. "life" gives you 3 hearts
"June" doesn't work as a word
Nice game! I really like the word building mechanic - very clever.
Got stuck on level five when it generated a level with no stairs. Fought one ghost and then was stuck. In the web console I got the error message "ReferenceError: Can't find variable: monster" on line 112 of world.js.
Maybe it was that level, but if so, the stairs didn’t spawn after I killed it. There was only one enemy on the level, and I *think* it was black, not red, and I don’t recall seeing any flames, although it spawned right next to me so it wouldn’t have been able to leave a trail. I killed it immediately, and there were no stairs afterwards. Spent quite a while just wandering around the empty level, standing on every tile, bumping against the walls, wondering if there was a secret thing needed to advance. Pretty sure it was a bug, since an error message was emitted to the console.
