  • I will address the REarranged icons.

    I use several different tools, mainly apkanalyzer for icons. Some apk’s as you point out have multiple images and a few don’t follow standard protocol at all. When that happens the tools report no icon. I then do a manual extraction and edit that are then added to the final “tweaks” so that the next time I run the tools I don’t have to do it again manually.

    The link’s point to my archive. My PD archive is close to 7GB and I connect to the Internet via cellphone which makes uploading painful. I am hoping to get my GDrive updated and then I will change the links to point to GDrive.

    “My own guess for why there is so many incorrect…” Less than a dozen corrections on more than 400 games isn’t so many. I appreciate the reviews and don’t mind making the corrections. Once the bug’s are hammered out, updating and additions will be easy. That has been a long time goal for this project.

    I was being followed and ran into the room hoping to attack and flee.

    Now I know how the thief feels when trapped in a room with no exits.

    My inventory was very limited. I threw all my unknown potions and ended up paralyzed in a cloud of toxic gas and fire.

    I don’t think it qualified as going out in a blaze of glory so much as desperation.





  • I was asked, why keep a spear the entire game?

    This was an odd run for me. The first weapon I received was a great axe. It is too large to be a value. I had almost no armor the entire game, until the imp. I obtained the ring of tenacity and the vampiric spear early on. Typically , I take my first upgrade scroll and turn it into enchantment stones and apply the stones to my bow. Throughout the game I mainly rely upon my bow as my primary weapon and don’t give much concern to a melee weapon. I later picked up the ring of furor. I augmented my bow for greater damage at the cost of speed. Using the ring I was able to offset and even greatly improve upon my attack speed. It is very rare that I get the chalice artifact. After looking over my inventory early on and realizing I was going to be challenged for armor and weapons, I noticed that between the 2 rings and the vampiric spear and the chalice of blood, by applying my upgrade scrolls I could achieve almost immortality. The rings prevented me from dying easily, which allowed me to fill the chalice and the chalice regenerated my health and if I should take enough damage, by using my other ring in combination with the spear, I could stab at my enemy’s nearly 6 times as often as they could attack me and gain health back from them.

    So, yes, I kept the spear.









  • potion of paralysis followed by potion of poison on the summoning altars behind the throne, bee’s on the altars before the throne, and once the king’s invulnerability fails a stone of aggression at the king, then let his own minions kill him… this approach has worked very well for any class or challenge… a wand of blast can help this method by pushing minions back into the deadly fog should they get through
