I had trouble telling what weapons I had or what they would do if I used them, I wound up just clicking everything and then hitting attack.

I guess it just is somehow buggy because somehow I ended up with more items in the inventory, and then some item just disappeared without me having used it before. I did not have problems in the grass level though, just died somewhere around there because the items did not seem to work all the time."},{"author_name":"Kynrael","author_uid":"3913","time":"May 13, 2011 @ 5:19am","epoch":1305263640,"text":"A pity there's not much content and it gets laggy on level 4.

There are other people down there who will reward you for defeating the monsters around them. You can use the items that you receive from the old men in your battles against more monsters.\r\n\r\nThe items you can get are as follows (weakest to strongest):\r\nRope\r\nKitten\r\nDagger\r\nSword\r\nVial of Acid\r\nand...Justin Beiber. His voice can make even the most deadly of monsters want to commit suicide!\r\n\r\nHope you all enjoy my entry. I will add audio post-compo since I REALLY need to sleep and my brain is a bit fried right now.\r\n<\/p>","title":"Cave: The Dark Ascent"}
