Apocalich

The game seems so fun and my partner and I enjoyed starting to play and figure out the game, but we really want to be able to actually progress through it. I downloaded the game on Steam and in the discussion there, I see that several people are having the same bugs as me: namely being unable to pickup loot drops after a battle (major reason I started reading comments because it makes the game almost impossible to advance through), as well as characters becoming occasionally stuck near the mountain or sea boundaries (I can adapt to that, although annoying). I don't see anyone mentioning the loot drop bug here, but it seems like these comments are actually being read by the developers. At the very very beginning of the game, it seems like one or two pieces of loot can be gathered in what must be the usual way. After that, we see the messages of "Press A to pick up..." for a split second and then disappear. The white orbs (which other comments make it seem like are the drops?) are completely non-actionable and never go away. I have noticed that if, prior to the battle I had talked to a NPC, the "Press A to talk" message is the message that briefly appears after the battle, even if the character is no longer in range of the NPC. Perhaps there is some issue with the message data? Although it seems in other comments that the orbs themselves drift to unreachable locations (so a timing or positioning issue with the drops scattering or expiration mechanic?). I don't know if you're still releasing updates/revisions. If so, would love to play! If you can explain the issue and there are instructions a playable workaround by avoiding/accommodating the issue, I'd take that too. Thanks!

Is this really only for MacOS? Is Apocalich_v1.1.3.zip the Windows file?

I will say, I just did a run where I think I completed every quest in the game, killed the ghost king, bought all the dope items from the mountain smith and then killed the Lich early with a blizzard build... This game really is a great game considering how compact it is. You guys really crammed a lot of stuff in here. A lot of it is trial and error and normally that wouldn't be for me, but learning to route through the whole thing and getting better each time really was a lot of fun. Good job guys.

I believe this crash is happening when I case Blizzard (or Inferno as well probably) when all the enemies are dead. It does a randomization based on the number of enemies but if there are technically no enemies alive, you end up dividing by zero.

So I love this game now that I got into it. I've played it for like 8 hours now. It's really addictive. I did want to give you a quick report of some bugs I've found which have not ruined the game necessarily, but have made the process annoying:
*Goblins who seem to be able to summon allies can still summon a 4th ally if you're alone.
*If you spam the "pick up" button at the end of combat, you will pick up any items that are dropped before they scatter away. This would be a neat and interesting technique that players get to learn if it wasn't for the fact that sometimes this doesn't delete the white glowing orb that was meant to represent the item. The orb just sits on the board forever or until you restart. When I'm speed running, I have to keep track of them so I don't let them distract me lol.
*You can buy a Bandana from the farmer in the first town for 2g and sell it back to him for 5g. I suspect this wasn't intentional. IDK if it's even bad for the game honestly, because at this point, having that money glitch let's me test out the game in a deeper way more quickly. I love having early access to the Bandana, but I sort of have to decide each game if I'm going to do a "real" run or a "infinite money" run which feels meh. In general, sell prices seem off somehow. I noticed some people will buy stuff for more than others. It's as if each person buys goods at different prices, which I suppose is kinda cool actually.
*The three mercenaries glitched after I helped them with their fight. They seemed stuck on a bounding box or something. I had to reload to make them interactable again.
*OH, there's this INCREDBLY ANNOYING spot to the left of the lower exit to the mountain that I keep getting hung on. You can't see the exit door while you're in the cave and so you run into this little corner that takes forever to get out of and will screw you up if you're going for a risky cave run during the day.
*After fighting the lich, I started a new game and the game started with the lich already active and I got sucked into the final fight at level 1 LOL. You have to turn the game off and turn it back on to make this bug go away. I suspect you guys left a Boolean flag on as a global variable or something. It was pretty funny :P
*IDK if this is a glitch but I once had a lich that simply gave up on doing his quest. I was up to day 22 and he had only done 1 tower (I believe I even reloaded the save file at some point). When I walked near him, suddenly he "woke up", teleported all over the map, finished his quest in a minute or two (at that point, he had only lit one tower), and then the final fight started. It was really weird. I was doing a particularly good job of removing all of his tentacles that game, so IDK if that slows him down or what, but it was still very weird.

All this said, my favorite strat so far is to buy the dagger so you get it's quick stab ability, then use the Axe and eventually the L. Sword with the quick stab, wearing the bandana of course for even more speed. Because it's incredibly easy to get crits with the quick stab attacks, the Axe is practically as good as the L. Sword, and is better against plants.

Hi, I bought the game but couldn't figure out... How do you play with more players? What are the controls? Shared keyboard?
Connecting a PS4 controller didnt work either

Bought the game (am on a Mac), but when I unzipped it, it told me it was damaged and couldn't be opened? :(

Niiiice!!!! could you share some other screenshots? or a quick playthrough to understand more about the game?

This looks amazing! Is there a goal to turn it into a mobile app?

Is there a gameplay trailer? I can't judge a game only by screenshots, a gif and text.
