Patch Notes

A lot of feature requests made it into this one. New in version 1.5:

• New monster: the fairy
• Frame limiter in the graphics options
• Map toggle by double pressing M
• Your mouse's vertical axis is locked while you are looking at the map
• Speed toggle by double pressing SHIFT
• While looking at the map, pressing Q will let you descend stairs if you are standing on them
• Achievements unlocked at higher difficulties will also unlock them at lower difficulties
• Fixed a crash that occurred if you searched where a trap was removed

The Fairy

The fairy is a new monster, represented by a lower case f in ASCII mode. The fairy when killed will polymorph one of your items into another of the same type. Potions polymorph into potions and rings into rings and so forth. The fairy will never polymorph food or the amulet of yendor so don't worry about that. Also ranged weapons will only polymorph into ranged weapons. Fairies are more common on the first 5 levels but may still show up deeper in the dungeon so it may be worth it to hold on to cursed items or bad potions and things for the chance that you might be able to polymorph them later. They may be hard to find though as they will teleport at their leisure around the floor.

New Controls

With the new controls it is technically possible to play the entire game with the map up. It's a bit awkward to control and aiming ranged weapons and wands can be difficult so I don't recommend it but the option is there if you want it. Have fun!
