Elven Crawl help

A roguelike dungeon crawler for iPhone and iPad

If something isn't working, a level feels unfair, or you have an idea for the dungeon, email me at support.elvencrawl@greatlair.com. I read every message myself and usually reply within a few days. A screenshot and your device model help a lot with bugs.

Questions people ask

How do I play?
Move with the stick on the left side of the screen and attack with the button on the right. The book button at the top right opens the menu, where the guide explains everything else as you meet it.
Is my progress saved?
Yes. The game saves on your device as you play, so you can close it at any moment and continue from the title screen. Each warden keeps their own save.
What happens when my warden dies?
That depends on the mode you chose when you made the warden. In Remembered mode the warden wakes at home in Emberhollow and can walk back down to their grave to recover what they carried. In Faded mode death is final, in the old roguelike way.
What do Hearthlit, Dimmed and Lightless mean?
They are the three tiers of difficulty. Hearthlit is a gentle descent, while Dimmed and Lightless bring tougher monsters and better gear.
What does the coffee on the About page do?
It's an optional tip for my work, paid through the App Store. It unlocks nothing, because the whole game is free either way, but it does make my day.
How do I start over?
On the title screen you can begin a new warden at any time, or forget one you no longer want, which removes that warden's save. Deleting the app removes everything.
Do I need an internet connection?
No. Elven Crawl plays fully offline. Only the optional coffee needs a connection, because the App Store handles it.
