Here's Wikipedia's page on what roguelike is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike In addition to the attributes you listed, I usually think of permadeath as part of the definition. My first was Nethack, first the curses version and later a graphical version in X-Windows.
Like I said, just like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. ;-) But seriously, that's definitely a deeper gamer's perspective then I could ever give. Good insight, my first thoughts of modern day rogue-like games lead to Hoplite and 868-Hack, not exactly a trip into gaming history.
Game Impressions I was sold on the trailer but the actual game is a bit slow than what I expected. Also, the bloom on the spaceship gets a bit irritating after a while. Dev, can you tone down the bloom just a lil bit in the next update?
I can definitely look into that. I'm not sure which of the bloom techniques the 5C uses (if that's what you're playing on), but I can figure it out. Trent
We just released SPACE COLORS on the Google Play store as well: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamchaos.spacecolors
I'm getting a wierd sound bug, as in no sound at all. Turned vol u p to max, tried rebooting the iPad and still nothing. I have. iPad 3 running iOS 7.1.2. Any ideas?
I'm trying to look into this bug but I haven't been able to get a device that can reproduce it. I'm still looking, though; hopefully will have a fix soon.
I do believe I found the culprit; I just submitted v1.2 to Google Play and the App Store, so the Android fix will be ready within the next couple hours while the App Store one will be ready... At some point... In the future...
Should be fixed whenever the update goes through the App Store review process. Apologies for the issue.
Free for the first time! Premium. No "In App Purchases" (for real money). No ads. But there is a bad review in the US app store: Personally I can't confirm anything because I haven't got yet the necessary 5,000 bucks for the cheapest item.EDIT: Found it out! You have to be in PORTRAIT orientation for being able to buy something in the in game store. Tested on iPad Air 2.

Been having quite a lot of fun with this one since I picked it up a few days ago. Too bad there aren't any leader boards, I'm currently on a multi-day rampage about the hit level 21 and haven't the foggiest how many planets conquered on this run. I noticed, some time ago, the lines from the planets go away and you have to search around for new systems. I'm wondering if there is an end evenutally?
