The 80+ floor grind is soulcrushingly brutal. Am I missing some sort of thing that makes this easier, except for the floors where you can bypass the dice rolling? Or is it really just repeating and repeating until the RNG gods favour you with a ten-streak of 90+ rolls?
I'm not really proud of myself here, but I kept messing around with stuff until I realized that if you pause in the exact correct frame just as you get your roll result but before the result changes the level, you can decide whether to reset cartridge or not, based on whether the roll is good enough to get you to the next floor or not, allowing you to just reroll instead of being forced down a floor.
The trick doesn't seem to work with the single digit rolls (1-9) and it's up to you whether you want to take the risk on whether that 1/10 is actually a 100 roll result or not.
Managed to get to floor 100 with the giant blue brain. I assume that's the end?
Going to the pause menu [p] and choosing Reset Cart(ridge) seems to fix the stair glitch. I've had it several times without even getting to 91. XD
Also progress seems to get autosaved, so even if you've left the webpage/closed the downloaded game, you should theoretically still be able to continue from your 91 run, you crazy lucky person. Incidentally that also seems to fix the stair glitch, but it's less convenient than just doing Reset Cartridge.
I really love the atmosphere that you've created, but it can get a bit frustrating as you climb higher in the tower. I don't think I'll be able to get much further than the 65th floor without some kind off cheat, it's true. But the graphics and sound remind me of the sort of games they made back in '84.
This is so simple, yet so frustrating. The best/worst part is the insatiable curiosity about what the hell is at the top. I'll save my rating for when I manage to do that for now, I'll resist the urge to kill myself as I circle between levels 41-61. I'll probably drive myself insane, but IWILLDOIT...
p.s
thank you for making this torture. I also like this game's great art and in-between interactions with NPCs.
Small bug. On floor 23 there are two doors. I rolled low so the exit became a down ramp, but I wanted to continue so I tried the other door for a re-roll. Which, of course, got rid of the down ramp exit.
Made all the more conspicuous by no NPC there. Did I become the NPC on 23?
Love this concept, and its so well executed. There's so much variety in the floor design and color schemes that I'm always curious to see what's on the next floor. Sadly I don't think I have the fortitude to keep going up and down the same set of steps and hopefully see my way to the end...
Very fun! Got a little frustrated after reaching the 40s and kinda gave up haha but I love the unsettling vibe, nice game idea, music, and art style! Would mean a lot if you check out our game too! (Russian Rollette) :)

Just finished my first playthrough, tough game haha! Loved the rabbit creature person!
Cool game, if anyone is stuck on some of the levels, I did a walkthrough video.

what if the real 100th floor was the friends we made along the way
Softlocked on 91, a glitch replaced the staircase down with a mug right as i was about to go into it. :(

is there any way to get better luck in this "game?"
post cheat codes here
floor 99... corner of my mind...
I remember when you were convinced you'd found an exploit by doing frame-perfect stair transitions... fun memory
Well done. Didn't thought I would hang in that long. Great dialogs! Reached the 66th floor.

One of the coolest games I've played in a while. Now that I think about it might go into my top 3 favourite games of all time! Great job devs <3
woah! the gameplay change around floor 54 was a cool twist on the formula
ok buddy
what twist?
I've been going in circles for days.... I just want to leave.

It can get so frustrating! The futility! I love it!
It also reminds me of a game about a spider I love... :)
I have seen the lofty, windswept heights of Floor 57 three times now... I fear I may not be destined to go any farther.

interesting game... got bored/stuck for 15+ minutes in the 40's
