About
POWDER is a traditional Hacklike. Players of NetHack will not be unduly surprsised with a lot of the setting and interface.
The goal is to get to the 30th level of the dungeon, retrieve the Heart of Baezl'bub, and then return to the surface world. What makes this difficult is the requirement to not die on the way.
Unique/rare features
- POWDER is designed to run on the Gameboy Advance. (SDL based Linux and Windows versions exist, however)
- It is biassed to fast play rather than slow and cautious play. Winning the game takes about 3 hours wall clock time.
- There is no class, race, or skill choice at the start. The idea is to allow immediate action.
- Development of different "classes" is done by chosing which god you wish to worship on each level up.
- There are multiple deities, all of which are watching you at once. You may thus get a flamestrike from a god you angered which is not your own, or a weapon enchantment from one that liked your style.
- Noun/Verb based approach to action commands. Zapping wands is done by selecting the wand and then choosing zap, rather than choosing zap and then selecting the wand.
