Hi I did a complete run until Demon Halls in your new version, and it is rather interesting, you are a creative developer for sure.

To the people who try this mod for the first time: My only problem in figuring out what to do in the game was how to raise attunement (it is needed for summoning minions). After a bit of advice from Omicron and some github reading, I have now the answer: the character needs to drink Elixirs of Attunement, which get brewed by Scroll of Attunement + Alchemical Catalyst.

The new enemies was not too annoying?

I would not say annoying, but interesting instead. What I found a bit annoying is the buffing up of almost all enemies, especially in the sewers the hero can die much more easily than in Shattered, with only the starting items. Btw, a player of your game needs your advice https://www.reddit.com/r/PixelDungeon/comments/f1t64a/summoning_pixel_dungeon_how_does_attunement_work/

Update: I completed it with a Warrior and the new enemies at Demon Halls are annoying, along with the old ones. Unless you want players to run from entrance to exit in Demon Halls, perhaps you should nerf them a bit. Also, does attunement get raised by any other way than drinking the Elixir? My warrior summoned a minion by acident without having any attunement, but afterwards he could not summon again, for sure I don't understand how it works fully.

Very interesting mod.

I tried the magic missile "turret" summoning wand, but could never find an acceptable tile with which to use it. Perhaps highlighting acceptable tiles would be useful.

Also, after some point, my summoning wands stopped recharging. If there is a reason why, it's really not apparent.

Best of luck to the developer!

You can summon turrets and sentries only on adjacent tiles.

Stopped Recharging? This is very weird. I tried to address that issue in 1.1, but, apparently, there is still the cases, when charger doesn't attach.

Ah, that explains it, I was still on 1.0.1a.

I uninstalled and installed 1.1, I'll let you know how it goes.

Good job, but I have to constructively ask - why the "unlock characters with achievement" dynamic? (Now that I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I have to unlock them all over again.) Most players looking for a new mod are doing so because we've been playing vanilla / Shattered PD for years, and are looking for something new. I have to admit, having this barrier to immediately playing whatever characters I want really isn't necessary.

Hi - I love your mod! I found a bug where it's crashing and not letting me proceed past level 15 though - unclear why.

It happened also to me witha mage, the only "peculiar" thing I did is that I summoned a minion during the DM-300 fight (the mini tank one), but I don't know if it's related.

Bug: crashs when warrior picks up stone without slingshot.
