Pixel Dungeon is a Roguelike genre' of games.
Historically they are about getting as far as you can, as quickly as you can, without dieing.
You will die a lot.
FYI, the Android APK is not signed and won't install until it is.
Many tools exist to do so, but to prevent a lot of grief, in the future you may want to sign it, at the least with a test key, before releasing.
Oh, very cool about the attacking rat issue.
I thought it was odd after getting the rat kings quest done that a few rats still attacked.
Great work as always.
Hi Boby.
I am still stuck on a phone for internet and very limited in what I can do.
As you know, I put together the annual PD archive report.
Fandom, Reddit, Dominowood, Zay, your own work, and even Lemmy, should all have their information available in a single archive.
Dumping and storing all that information isn't difficult, but creating a user interactive WIKI/BLOG/etc would be very time consuming.
If it would help, I can donate the individual HTML reports on the 500+ PD's that I compile into the PDF.
Ratmorgrafying an Evil Eye while it is hovering over a pit is funny.
Using an Elastic Weapon to knock an enemy into a flaming trap is a blast.
Throwing potions of paralytic gas and poison behind the King makes for shooting fish in a barrel, and when all his minions are summoned, toss the King a stone of aggression.
ApkMirror does just that, they downloaded from Playstore and mirror apps.
Others, such as F-Droid, will only share apps with open source code that they can examine and compile.
As to what's safe or not is a frustrating question as it has no appropriate answer.
It's like asking, how safe is Russian Roulette? You have a 5 in 6 chance you will win. Is it safe? Air-bags in cars break the neck 60% of the times they deploy. Are they safe? Does having a gun make you safe? Some of the worst malware ever invented is released by Playstore. Have all the locks and all the security ever truly made anything safe? You want safe, unplug and find a deep hole to live in, and hope it is safe enough not to cave in.
As to running multiple versions of SPD on the same device, you will need to change the PackageName of one (I suggest the older version). APKtool can be used (as can many other tools).
Change com.shatteredpixel.shatteredpixeldungeon to com.shatteredpixel.shatteredpixeldungeon.old
Save it. Install it. You can now run this older modded version and the latest version together.
I've been watching for days now for the release :-)
Looks great so far and works well from the executable launcher or JAR file, under Win11.
Great job!
I'm just waiting for the no win laser room.

Awesome!
But when will the deadly dancing banana mimic return?
Disco! Disco! Woot! Woot!
What I wouldn't give for a pair of polished mirrors.
If only we could grab these crystals and carry them with us.
Why does this remind me of Resident Evil?
Always helps to have a link 🔗

Installs and starts without issue.
Will see where it goes from there.
Although no longer compatible with my Zeki Android 4, the latest release works well on Android 5.

Calamity. It's verified, an era has come to an end. My Zeki can not install this version.
Speaking of old Android users, my Zeki running Android 4 is playing v3.2.0 smoothly. Greatly appreciated 👍
Nice.
Most people seem to need 2-3 hundred plays before winning, so you did well.
I knew a guy who had over 3000 plays and zero wins. He smashed two tablets.
I usually play the Huntress as I prefer ranged strategy.
Now, you can start playing using Challenges ;-)

You can use a variety of tools to check for the apk's signature and hash before installing.
Apktool is a jar file for cross platform use.
ApkMirror does just that, they downloaded from Playstore and mirror apps.
Others, such as F-Droid, will only share apps with open source code that they can examine and compile.

Safety is an illusion.
There are various places one can go to get older versions of SPD.
Search engines are amazing tools to find things on the internet.
One example might be https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/shattered-pixel/shattered-pixel-dungeon/shattered-pixel-dungeon-2-5-2-release/
