How to steer him
Nobody is in charge. Press things and argue with strangers.
the basics
Votes are collected in two-second windows. Whichever option gets the most
votes is what he actually does. One vote each per window — pressing again just
replaces your own vote, so holding a key down achieves nothing.
Vote for nothing and he carries on by himself. Any vote takes the wheel straight
back; the crowd always outranks him.
keys, if you would rather not click
↑↓←→ or WASD — move
QEZC — diagonals
Space — attack
1 — drink a potion
North is up the screen, not up the map. Diablo's grid is drawn on a diamond
turned 45°, so the buttons follow what you can see rather than the underlying tiles.
he fights by himself — this is not a bug
A monster kills him faster than a vote can be counted, so he picks his own targets,
swings on his own and drinks a potion below half health. Where he goes is yours;
whether he defends himself is not.
The consequence: with something right on top of him, movement votes are held —
tapping a direction mid-fight would cancel his approach and get him hit for free.
Level changes are never held, so a crowd can always flee a room it cannot win.
why a button is dark
Because the game said no, not because the page is broken. Descend
only lights up when he is standing on the stairs — use Walk to stairs ↓ to get
him there, and watch the hint count down the tiles. Refill potions is town-only.
If everything is dark at once, the game server is unreachable and nothing
you press will register.
