    Looks very interesting :)

    From the creators of THE QUEST:

    Dungeoned is a funny little dungeon crawler game with some action, puzzle and role playing elements. From level to level, through various dungeons and other places, you must find and activate the exit which leads to the next level.

    Each dungeon needs a certain number of gold coins to reveal its exit. But beware: monsters, traps, logical puzzles and even an enemy with the same goal as yours will stand in your way.

    You must get as much gold as you can and find the exit before the enemy does. With the remaining gold you can buy better weapons, armor, spells or potions in the shop which will always await you after you have completed a dungeon.

    Dungeoned is OpenFeint enabled.

  2. Interesting. By The Quest dudes, only they're publishing it themselves this time (good!). The video was interesting but seemed to switch screens at points that might have otherwise explained what was going on at the time. Still not sure about it though. It's cheap enough, just don't know if it's worth hunting for something to delete to make some space, so I'll wait for impressions.

    Looks like a pretty cool diversion, need someone to TOFTT first though.

    Played some. Dungeoned seems to be a very retro exit dungeon puzzle. (It is one of their old games) The puzzle elements seem pretty basic (moving boulders onto switches, getting keys for gates, avoiding or destroying monsters and things like that) but I've only played about 12 levels. It does get hard in levels where you have to race against AI warriors for the coins, and you can fail the level if you are too slow. You've got to collect a certain amount of coins per level to exit. Controls are alright (virtual dpad and onscreen buttons), if you are used to the current speed of movement in most current games, this one may seem a little slow. Not as great as I had expected, but for 99c, I like it enough. :)


    (It's kinda like Dark Raider, I suppose.)

    For what I played (not much yet) the price is fair. A cute dungeon crawler.

    "Not as great as I had expected, but for 99c, I like it enough." was exactly what I thought!

    I finished the PocketPC version of this game when it came out, and I really enjoyed it. Dungeoned was a nice change of pace from their more in-depth RPG offerings. I hope this does well for them and encourages them to develop the standalone version of their Quest card game.

    Thanks for the nice review! :)

    I think it's completely fair.

    About the potential improvements:

    1: We know it's not the fastest paced, but even the longest levels are no longer than a few minutes (unless you play on hard and try to conserve gold :)). Also I think it would be a bit problematic for the leaderboard. Anyone who would try to get the fastest times would need to use the speedup all the time.

    Of course that may not be that bad. :) We'll think about it.

    2: I've included a small warning in the next update. (Submitted to Apple.)

    3: We'll think about it. But you can listen to your own music in the background, if it's any consolation. :)

    4: Multiplayer is certainly an interesting idea, we thought about it, but at this point we don't think we'll implement it. Dungeoned is just a nice little single player game. :)

    I agree with Elendil - nice review! Multiplayer could be interesting, but you'd really need a whole new set of levels, because I don't think there are currently enough levels to support such a feature, and a lot of the single player levels I don't think would be very balanced for multiplayer. I'm surprised you don't find the two player levels very compelling, though. Personally I find the addition of the need to beat out the second player quite an incentive to try and figure out the best way through a maze.

    Thanks!

    As for the fast-forward problem, couldn't you have the recorded time go twice as fast also? Then it really wouldn't affect the leaderboards.

    You can save multiplayer for Dungeoned 2 I guess...

    I agree, some music during the levels would help a lot. Some music from The Quest like you put in the trailer would be fun for the fans, but could look a bit cheap to some. It would still be better than nothing :p

    Also found a bug. When you go back to replay a level, your gold window in the shop only counts the coins from levels previous to the the one you are playing on, and not all the levels you have beaten. For example, I'm on level 15 or so and have 35 gold. When I go back to replay level 5, I have 2 gold. And when I go back to level 15 I have 35 gold again.

    We are looking into the music. :)

    That's not a bug. You are going through the game linearly, one level at a time. You can go back and replay a level to try to get a better time or more gold, but you have to work with what you have collected up till then.

    If you could use all the gold you collected on all levels on any level, you would have an unfair advantage. :)

    One more thing: If you could leave an honest review in the App Store (just what you wrote in your review, only shorter :), we would be thankful. :D
