Leaderboards! A Golden Greatsword for the best player!

Added Steam Leaderboards! Only the best player in the world will be able to obtain a Golden Greatsword with Spikes! It deals 666 points of pure damage and is rewarded to only one player - the current leader with the most gold collected!

Upon reaching the first place in the Leaderboards, continue to purchase weapons from Little Turnip and instead of the premium Greatsword with Spikes you will receive the ultra rare Golden variant! Almost double the damage for the real hardcore master of the caves!

Also made adjustments to weapon mouse scrolling mechanics and weapon text display time.

Good luck and let the slaying begin!

About This Game

STONES OF SORROW is a cave painting PDL (Procedural Death Labyrinth).
The game features historic cave paintings, action focused gameplay and brutal executions.

Enjoy the great cave art from Southern Drakensberg, Rochester to Lascaux brought to life in an action-roguelite. All the characters were painted tens of thousands of years ago by our ancestors.

Story:

The cave paintings tell an ancient story about a ruthless leader, who slaughtered all the tribes and burned all the lands. His father was murdered at a young age, so the world needed to feel his pain. His closest blood brother helped him rule in fear. But one day he betrayed him and lured him into a maze of torment.
You are that violent ruler. It is up to you to restore your honour. In order to achieve that you must find one of the STONES OF SORROW and brutally crush the skull of your betrayer.

Features:

Every time you die, the end boss gains +1 HP.
CO-OPTIONAL GAMEPLAY - Work together or slay each other.
For up to 4 players on a single screen. Play on the same keyboard or use 4 controllers. The camera automatically zooms out when players are far away from each other and back in if players are close.
The bloodiest & most violent roguelite there is! Ultra juicy gore!
Fast, hard, action based gameplay! Watch your stamina bar!
Procedurally generated underground labyrinths.
Cannibalism! Eat the corpses of your enemies to restore health. But beware, unless you find a special item, you can choke to death.
Slaughter grotesque hordes created by the nightmarish imagination of our ancestors.
Items and perks of great mystery and power! Gain the edge and crush your enemies!
Use collected gold to buy permanent perks for your next life!
Level up at bonfires to inflict greater damage, gain maximum health and do faster evasive rolls.
Deranged NPC-s who speak in black metal quotes.
Savage executions for extra 666 gold!

50+ gameplay altering items like:

Every kill makes you +0.1% faster.
An evasive roll kills enemies with less than 66% health.
More executions = more damage! 0.8% more damage for every performed execution.

The intro to this game, man, this is Real. Pure, brutal underground software, from the soundtrack to the difficulty. Take time to read the control scheme (Esc)-- progression through skill is pretty rewarding. Making the endgame harder from death is unrelenting. The Best dollar I've spent since I was 10, buying the styrofoam Fuchwolf aeroplane toy from the local convenience store. As a side note, digging into Neoandertals on YT because of this game was well worth the asking price. Only gripe is the 'slippery' nature of the main character's movements in gameplay. Otherwise \m/

You can pick enemies up over your head, rip them in half, and blood sprays over half the screen.

I've enjoyed this game overall so far, yet definitely see room for improvement. One minor technical issue that turns me off is the lack of true full-screen, another is the sometimes too-narrow spaces in levels that one can fall through, yet not jump back up. Pretty good overall, though.

First, the pros:
Combat is paced well, and on reading the dev's responses in other reviews, is made in a logical fashion.
The cave painting style looks pretty cool, though it would be nice if the borders/terrain looked more natural, like the curve of an actual cave. Perhaps in that vein, some set spawn points could be larger groups of paintings in the background/foreground that enter the arena and diminish as you kill them off?
The money management system increases the difficulty in a good way.
Bonfires.

Now the cons:
The music isn't bad, but it gets repetitive. More variety (not outside the genre, mind. I mean more death metal) would be nice.
The endurance bar is hard to keep track of during combat, at least for me.
The spawns of the enemies are unintuitive, but since they are meant to be reactionary, that makes more sense. Doesn't mean I particularly like have one taking a swing at me as it spawns, though...

I'll add more to this review after I've done a few more runs, just to work out whether I suck (probably) or the game needs more tweaking (what game doesn't?).

Just, what the ♥♥♥♥.
You're greeted instantly by a terrible voice-over story with no background music, bad vocal quality and editing, and a painful accent, which ends with as much abruptness as it begins. Immediately you're thrust into fire and death. The soundtrack tries just as hard as the UI and the controls to confuse and terrify you, immediately blasting you with metal riffs that personally sound like they were designed to make your ears bleed as soon and as often as possible. I know there are a lot of artistic decisions here - but the game feels as though it was coded on the same stone tablets the art was drawn on.
It's clunky, patched-together, and even though it looked like there was a lot of interesting things going on - the lack of visual clarity (both with the small, scrunched up font, and the general unpolished feel of the whole game) really made this not worth getting into.
Honestly, I would have been a lot more harsh with this game, but from what I understand, the dev is a really nice and responsive guy. So, I suppose, if that's what you're into, that's awesome.
But don't buy it.

Seriously. Don't.
