Let's play POWDER 02: Snail Liches, Traps and Water

POWDER is a simple but enjoyable freeware roguelike for beginners and experts alike. Designed specifically for portable consoles e.g. the Nintendo DS and earlier the GameBoy Advance it offers surprisingly quick gameplay and immense replayability.

Head over to Jeff Lait's site and donate this guy some money if you like POWDER: http://www.zincland.com/powder/

Also, to preemptively answer a possible question; the background music for the video is the Bonesaw (another cool game, check out UltraJMan's Let's play) OST by Josh Whelchel: http://www.syntesis.org/bonesawost

Woohoo! No copyright infringement in this video. ^^

P.S. This video contains a lot of fail - I wonder why a lich created from an acid-resistant monster ignores my Acid Splash spell, trap myself repeatedly and don't spot my wand having lost all charges and almost drown by wrongly identifying a set of boots. Yes, my inevitable death is close.

Ouch! I just realized that I DID in fact delete comments - I pressed the "Delete" button under the respective comment in my new comment list instead of using the IDENTICAL button at the top of the list. Stupid Youtube, I didn't even get a prompt. -.-

Sorry guys - feel free to re-post, you didn't do anything wrong and I don't any comments, even negative or insulting ones, anyway...

[limdul]

Yeah, I'm missing a lot of opportunities here.

That's because I'm impatient. ;-)

I couldn't have hidden in the room because it turns out that the snail lich can open doors. 0_o

I liked how I tried to attack it with Acid Splash 3 or 4 times and how I didn't see that my wand of trapping is empty. I also don't know why I returned to the island after swimming through - couldn't I equip everything on the other shore? ;-)

If you think I messed up on THIS video, then wait till you see the next one. ;-)

I was expecting this video to be flooded with Minecraft related comments.

Gotta love Imbued With Evil :D

Hey why do you keep picking up corpse? isnt it disgusting to carry corpse around?

[guydude133]

Ur... I think your pronouncing Lich wrong. And damn you are lucky i always run into a magma filled ghost sanctuary on the third floor ore some other crap. And the slug is based on basic fantasy crap. If you kill a lich it comes back to life unless you kill its focus item. Dont know if you have to destroy an item (wouldnt be suprised if that hapened in this game -_-) but there followinng the coming back to life part. Oh and any creature can be a lich.

Could someone tell me, i think in the late 90's there was a windows game, a game that already came with it i believe, it's a rogue like game, simple graphic like, like this game, the game hero basicly was a guy holding a sword with his left arm and with no clothes, he could get to the city and go to the castle, where are battles happened, between the city and castle was this huge brigde of the castle, do someone here know what the hell this game is? hehehe id be very happy! ty.

[Maximusmadrica]

Hahaha that is a great story.

[MetaKnight345]

This game produces hilarious stories!

For example, I found a potion and wanted to identify it. Normally, you'd dip in a weapon, but I didn't have any weapons that I could do without, so I dipped in some sandals.

Turned out it was a poison potion and I now had poisoned sandals.

So, I started every fight by throwing my sandals at monsters. And it was surprisingly effective!

I have absolutely no idea - I don't own a PSP and am not the author of the game. I think it would be best if you contact Jeff Lait through the rec.games.roguelike.misc newsgroup, available e.g. through Google Groups.
