It's been awhile but here we go!
2/5/20:



Chest type monsters have been reworked. Y'know, for diversities' sake!
So what's new?
So in one way this makes them easier to avoid, however opening chests is now a bit of a gamble. I'd say overall this change makes things a bit harder, but it makes more sense to me. I gotta' admit that maybe me playing a lot of Dark Souls remastered and running into stupid Mimics probably had a hand in this too.
This change applies to all Chest Monsters, Death Boxes, and the rare boss Bob.

That's all for now! I was at first going to make a really small update to fix the War Pick's "mine" thing but kind of got carried away. I feel a good roguelike's development is never really finished. Not if you think of ways to better it at least.
Have a good one!

ADDITIONS



Chest type monsters have been reworked. Y'know, for diversities' sake!
So what's new?
- Chest monsters no longer move!
- Chest monsters no longer open their mouths, saying "LOOK, I'M A MONSTER DAMNIT!"
- Chest monsters will only attack when you try and open them. Makes sense, huh?

- There are now 2 more random events that can happen behind those Iron Doors. What are they? Who knows????
CHANGES
- The "loading please wait" display while going down ladders was replaced with "descending.."
- Speaking of which, there is now a chance ladders will take you down 2 floors instead of 1 (roughly 14%). When you go down 2 floors the text saying "descending.." is replaced by a green text saying "This ladder is long!" You can't miss it.
- Dimensional Rifts can now no longer summon Death Boxes (since they can't move anymore)
- The graveyard game over picture was improved
- The tutorial's "remove items" picture page was improved
- Dates in the title updated to 2020, because that's what year this is they tell me.
FIXES
- Fixed it so the Steel Shovel can dig through Icy Floors like it was supposed to
- The action display "MINE" now appears correctly while at a gold deposit when equipped with the War Pick.
- Campfires can't spawn on floor 10 (frog w/ rain boss). Because it happened to me and that makes no sense!
- The Scrapper's "Scrapped Money Increased" now has the proper description on the specials screen
- Eating worms now no longer displays "Ate an Apple" on the Log
