Hi everybody! Here's a new release of my roguelike game, "Peculiar Voyage: Escape from Cute".
It's been a while since I posted the demo to the PAlib forum back in April.
Check out some new videos at

http://www.mediafire.com/file/2gjty1mlway/PVescape2.zipIn this new version (0.2) I've added:
- a 30-floor bonus dungeon (with herbs, scrolls and beads unidentified), unlocked after clearing the main dungeon.
- monster item drops.
- new items and monsters (vials, and 3 new pouch types, a few new herbs, scrolls and
a new weapon, Bumble and Catapult monster families).
- working gamestate saves for NO$GBA (in the April 09 version saves only worked on DS hardware).
- a strategy dungeon (single floor mini-dungeons to teach various techniques)
- a warehouse to store your valuable items.
- a funky (and probably totally unbalanced) "VialTrial" dungeon where you'll find lots of
empty vials to use against monsters.
Known bugs:
- setting the music volume in the Settings menu is messed up. It changes both the music AND the
sound fx volume, but should only adjust the music.
Controls
--------
Keys are almost the same as the Mystery Dungeon Shiren games. (I apologize
ahead of time if these are confusing. They are copying the Shiren games
which makes it easy for a Mystery Dungeon fan, but may take a while to
get the hang of for a non-Mystery Dungeon player.)
A button:
attack monsters or talk to NPCs (in the menu system A confirms menu selections).
B button:
tapped and released quickly, will bring up the menu system for using items in the inventory.
B held while hitting D-pad will make the character run down a corridor or across a room (until
something "interesting" is encountered).
Holding B when next to a friendly character while using the D-pad to move "into" the character
will let the player swap spaces (for when the friendly character is blocking the way!)
The B button is also used to back out of menus or the Rankings page, Menagerie, etc.
Finally, press and hold B and also A to pass a turn without moving (useful when there are no monsters
around and you need to restore your HP).
L shoulder button:
shoot equipped projectiles with a slingshot, or use a monster's special attack while "possessed"
by the monster's soul (after drinking a vial).
R shoulder button:
hold it to restrict the character's movement to diagonals.
X button:
brings up a status menu (for saving the game, showing the player's attack and defense power
or setting sound volume -- see note above about a known sound volume bug).
Y button:
hold it while pressing the D-pad to change directions the character is facing without moving and
using a turn. Tap the Y button in the inventory menu to sort the inventory items.
