A refund note said the combat "animations don't even hit where they show they hit... you just have to keep running and spamming hoping something would hit." Blunt, and correct. It was a real bug, and it took an audit of the whole combat layer to find. Thanks for leaving it. Hit registration · Enemies hit you when their weapon reaches you. Every monster's damage landed on a fixed stopwatch that…
Feedback Patch A player left a long, thoughtful review of the game, and almost everything in this patch comes straight from it: levels that were too dark to navigate, a crash on the Brawler, blocking that did nothing, arrows that missed, and getting wedged in the scenery with no way out.

Someone asked in the discussions why the written description said the game h…

Two New Heroes Two heroes join the roster: the Dwarf Brawler and the Druid. The Dwa…

Cryptr has been quiet since the last update on November 17, 2023. This update is the result of improvements based on bug reports, the playtest notes, and the feedback you left me, and rather than patch around the old prototype I finally built a combat system from scratch. You will find a new first-party combat and animation system, a clean render pipeline, a real hub, sixteen dungeons (currentl…
