Ammerow 0.1.2

Ammerow 0.1.2 adds cautious continuous exploration, clearer item information and level-up supply rewards, alongside interface and source-build fixes.

Download and play

Download Ammerow-0.1.2-windows-x64.zip, extract the entire ZIP into a fresh writable folder, and run ammerow.exe. Requires 64-bit Windows 10/11; no Steam account is needed.

This is the full game with ASCII illustrations, Hybrid 32x32/64x64 sprites, sound effects and home-screen music. The adjacent .sha256 file verifies the download. The same portable ZIP is suitable for Itch.

What's changed

• Item details: inspecting equipment or inventory keeps the list behind the details panel and preserves your selection. Details show the item's ASCII illustration or a large coloured glyph; unidentified items retain their unidentified appearance.
• Clearer sidebar: character level and XP needed for the next level share a line, and money is labelled Gold. An optional static warning border highlights urgent conditions without flashing; disable it under Display / Performance if preferred.
• Controls & Convenience: a new settings page brings exploration, walking to stairs and pickup/ignore settings together. Traditional exploration remains available. Continuous exploration keeps finding reachable unexplored ground but stops for monsters, newly discovered non-ignored loot and safety interruptions. Any key or click cancels; fighting remains entirely manual.
• Level feelings: unseen danger/treasure hints are off by default for new characters, with clearer wording. Existing characters keep their setting. Feeling announcements no longer interrupt continuous exploration.
• Level celebrations: reaching a new personal highest level brings a card and sound. Every five levels offers one choice of potion supplies, scroll supplies or gold. Choose later to keep the reward under Enter > Information > Level rewards. Pending choices survive save/reload; level drain and recovery cannot repeat rewards.
• Source builds: restored missing exploration and item-details test files to the public export, and added the input declaration required by stricter compilers.

Existing saves

Back up your current game folder before updating. Existing saves can be loaded; previously reached levels do not grant retrospective rewards. Saves written by 0.1.2 cannot be reopened by older releases, because they now include the level-reward state. Preserve your original save if you might want to go back.

Source and licences

The playable ZIP includes its exact corresponding program source at source/Ammerow-source.zip. The v0.1.2 tag contains the same source files. GitHub's automatic Source code downloads are for building the game, not ready-to-play downloads.

The program is GPLv2. Ammerow artwork and audio are separately licensed and included in the playable download, not the source repository. See the accompanying notices for permissions and third-party licences.

The clean exported source passed 1,442 native tests, 24 Python tests, five frontend tests, and built/installed headless smoke checks. The full portable ZIP passed extraction and per-file hash verification. These automated checks complement playtesting; they are not a guarantee of a bug-free release.
