I don't know if it was just me, but clicking to dig area was very inconsistent. It would take me several clicks to place a square, and then a couple more clicks to break down the wall. I didn't realize I had to do that, and my first time I just had tons of 1-square rooms with no way to pass between them.\r\rI think the balance is a bit off. It's pretty easy to kill tons of adventurers fast. Just place all your treasures out in the dirt so nobody can get them, put one trap in the front room to kill the first guy who comes by, and every time someone dies raise them into a zombie. Soon you'll have a single small room full of zombies, and tons of treasure in the middle of nowhere to lure them in. (I realize placing treasures out of bounds is probably a bug, but it would still work without that.)"},{"author_name":"Raptor85","author_uid":"7131","time":"Jan 3, 2013 @ 5:43pm","epoch":1357234680,"text":"Nice overall, more feedback on why you can\/cant buy things or how to connect rooms would be nice, took me a while to find out i had to overlap.
