Lady Tallowmere's kittens have been acting strange. Still, the dungeon's rituals must be carried out. Despite the unusual circumstances, how many rooms can you clear? ◈ SLAY AND CONQUER ◈ • Raise your shield to survive. • Defeat enemies. Find the key in each room to advance. • Level up. Acquire weapons, shields, blessings, and potions to alter your character. • Achieve a high score based on the room number you reach. ◈ EVER-CHANGING DUNGEONS ◈ • ROGUELIKE RANDOMNESS. Rooms, enemies, items, and modifiers are procedurally generated every run. • PLAY YOUR WAY. Choose your character and starting weapon before each adventure. • FIGHT. Each room contains more enemies the further you go. • WEAPON MASTERY. Use the right tool for the job – each weapon behaves differently. • LOOT. Uncover higher rarity levels and item tiers the deeper you delve. • STAY HEALTHY. Drink potions, find hearts, or visit Lady Tallowmere for healing. • UNLOCK. Expand your starting arsenal by progressing far enough. Success is rewarded, not failure. ◈ PLAYER MODES ◈ • Single-player • Couch Co-op (local shared screen with 2 gamepads) • Online Co-op (up to 4 players per game, including cross-platform support) ◈ TECHNICAL FEATURES ◈ • Touchscreen and gamepad support • Save your game anywhere and resume where you were • Game Center achievements and leaderboards for eternal bragging rights • iCloud support for high scores, account progress, and preferences

Very fun multiplayer
11/02/2022

im_in_my_salad
For context, I had not played either of these games until yesterday when I bought Tallowmere and Tallowmere 2 on a whim looking for yet another roguelike/lite to pass the time. I immediately fell in love with and lost 3 hours to playing the first entry! I’ll admit I was skeptical a “free to play” successor could improve on such a fun, unique approach to the genre. Thank goodness Tallowmere 2 takes everything I loved in the first game and pushes it to a level of polish that frankly should embarrass many larger studios. I played this game for an hour today with my son, him on an iPad mini and me on my iPhone and it worked perfectly. Even when I dropped out to answer a txt or call the game kept running without a hitch, made him the host, and allows me to rejoin! Very few games on iOS get this right so I was impressed by that alone but my gosh I’m just amazed at how bad I slept on these two beautiful, lovingly crafted games. Don’t be me, play it now!

I loved the first version. And I kinda love the second version too, however, I found some stuff that I didn’t like that Chris might want to address in the next updates: 1) The most important flaw: No bosses. There is a lot of room variations but some interesting boss fights could be nice, like Jazza or Mr Bigguns was. It’s just way cooler than just getting a random cat buff every 5 rooms :/ I miss bringing Mr Bigguns some laxatives. 2) Attack button is too tolerant, I died because I wanted to switch weapon but I threw a granade instead (maybe the switch weapon button is too small). I play at maximum resolution with 150% HUD scale 3) There are some “comming soon” unfinished parts, such as the reaper or weapon smith. 4) No merchants along the way. 5) Curse pillars are just not worth it compared to collecting loot (+1 damage but enemies spawn in pairs is the prime example, who would do that especially in latter levels?) 6) It’s just more braindead hack&slash than the first version. Especially the Emerald Dagger is very missing. I got to room 35 on my 2nd try (after I died due to the button tolerancy) just by spamming lifesteal scythe. I believe the Stun Resistance shield makes it too braindead and should be adjusted. 7) Weapons are somewhat less creative. RPG-7 and Flamethower were funny. Now it’s just melee, bow and some magic. Bugs found: When you have more than 3 rows of weapons it starts to overflow the screen, making me unable to switch to some weapons. Please address some of these issues and I will gladly give 5 stars :) Keep up the nice work!

Developer Response
Thank you for your feedback.Screen resolution / UI issues:• This should be resolved in 0.3.6c now. Please update Tallowmere 2 from the App Store. You may need to adjust the resolution in-game from Options > Screen > Screen Resolution.Weapons and characters:• More things from the original Tallowmere will be coming to Tallowmere 2 in due course. For Tallowmere 2's development, I am supporting iOS in the middle of development, rather than at the end – hence, not everything is implemented yet.Weapon Selector:• With the screen resolution fix in 0.3.6c, this should be mostly resolved. However, I'll still see about ensuring the Weapon Selector UI gets resized to fit on the screen.Gameplay:• Additional curses and special NPCs will be added throughout the dungeon over time. Upcoming version 0.4 is planned to feature a new game mode. Tweaks to item modifiers are also planned for Ruleset 0.4.I appreciate your feedback. Cheers!

One of my go-to quick games for years

I play both Tallowmere 1&2 for different reasons, but both are great if you just need a game to burn some time and are tired of the paywalls and in-app purchases and all the games that look and play like everything else. It’s fun, easy, but progressively not so easy. And the rewards are well balanced so that you’re not getting a ton of useless junk, but you’re not sucking for a long time with just a junky axe, either.I just wish Tallowemere would stop jerking my chain and owe up to her mischievous ways. It’s because of her that we have to go in these dank dungeons in the first place.

Pay walls 😔

I understand pay walls but this game has too much features hidden behind a pay wall. The main two I have a problem with are the belssings and online co op being locked behind a pay wall. Without paying you can’t have more than 2 blessings, and paying gives you all of them. 2 things about this, if you don’t pay and only get 2 blessings it’s too little but if I pay and get all of them I feel that’s just makes the game too easy, it’s a really weird thing to lock behind a paywall and there’s some other weird things locked too. this paywall also completely destroys the point of the game, the point of the game is to collect cats that are scattered around a dungeon and it limits you to only 2…WHAT?! Why??. The online is another really not smart one to paywall, this just doesn't work unless you have a friend who would get it.(I wouldn’t do my friend like that) the game isn’t popular and i can’t imagine there’s a large player base always online looking for a team mate, so it’s one of those things that just hurts the game and makes the work it takes to implement multiplayer into a game not worth it.

Now, the option can be toggled. • Enabled by default. Located under Options > Advanced.
