Thank you, Desktop Dungeons community, for warming these blackened old rocks that we laughingly refer to as a “hearts”. After posting about the e-mails that we’d been sent, several community members stepped forward, like superheroes emerging from a fresh brush with a radioactive insect, to ask if they could buy Kevin a copy of the game. Thank you all so much for making our week, and especially Platypotamus for setting Kevin up with a pre-order.

Now … we can practically hear you all straining in anticipation, working yourselves into a frenzy. “What is in the update!” you ask?

We took a dive into the bugs thread, and emerged with a plethora of new ways you’ve managed to break the game that we never thought possible. Congrats. We’ve shot, squashed, strangled and maimed as many bugs as we could this week, so hopefully your play experience will be just a little better.

This week is a big list of bug fixes! Read the full log:

Fixes:

• Fixed Vine Form text description values.
• Blinking monsters will no longer blink onto stairs
