Yeah this definitely speeds things along, although I was a little confused about the choice groups bit at first but think I get it now. I guess there are already few enough choices that separating them into their own group seems a little much but may prove useful later on. I had originally thought that the first group would be the weapon, item and magic tabs and the second pertaining to combat but this works too.

As stated by the previous post, huge props to you for the attention you're giving to the already great accessibility of the game.

Jumping into this thread after being hooked on this game for a few days. I gone into the castle and almost killed the final boss... Must try harder!

I agree with Dark's comments about headings. The one place where I think having headings is really useful is for separating the tabs at the top from the rest of the game and for separating the different inventory sections, while the separate headings for choice group 1, 2... etc might be a little excessive.

I have 1 suggestion to ease navigation, or at least make it less necessary to actually navigate around the screen to get information. Consider adding a live region to the page and putting the most important messages to it as they come up. There are Javascript libraries to do this, like this one
A live region is a section of the webpage that a screen reader speaks automatically if it changes. So, what this script essentially lets you do is get screen readers to speak any text you want at any time. I think for this game, putting any messages that come up above the buttons as well as the messages you get in the battle log as they come up would help greatly, because it would cause both VoiceOver and Talkback to automatically read things like how much damage your attack did right after you tap on a weapon to use it, without you having to manually go back up through the interface to read the battle log.

Thanks for the excellent feedback guys! This really helps me to understand how you play the game. Also, I'm glad to hear it's an improvement. I will follow up your advise and remove the choice group headings and those of each weapon and item inside the inventory, but leave the category headers.

@105, I have put the tabs at the top in <nav> tags, assuming screens reads would do something with that. Are you saying it would be helpful if I'd add a header saying 'navigation' or something there as well? And thanks for the live region suggestion, that looks very interesting! It's a bit too much work to squeeze it into this update, but I really like the idea and might add it in the future!

Another thing, I'm going to tune down the difficulty for the first 2 or 3 characters. I've been receiving some negative reviews about this, and I think they have a point - although, I would appreciate people being a bit more constructive, haha. Also, I'm going to turn off the resurrect option, because its really upsetting certain people too. Pity, but I understand it.
All in all, it's going to take a few more days before the update is out.

EDIT: about the inventory, since I'm using h1 for weapons, items, etc, and h2 for each separate item, I'd expected that screen readers would allow you to flick easily to the right h1 first and than flick to the right h2, but if I understand you all correctly, there's no distinction between h1 and h2 headers?

Regarding headings, heading level does make a difference, but not as much on a phone with a touch screen.

On both a computer and iOS and Android, screen readers have keyboard commands to move to the next and previous heading level, usually it's pressing 1 through 6 or Shift+1 through 6. They also have a key to go to next ore previous heading of any level (H and Shift+H). On touch screens you have gestures that let you quickly move through certain elements, but because a touch screen has a more limited set of things you can do you'll generally just get options to move to Any Heading, Any landmark or Any form control rather than specific types of landmark or heading level.

So, marking up groups of items with a level 1 heading, and the items themselves with a level 2 heading is helpful on a computer or if someone has a keyboard connected to their phone, because you can tell the screen reader to go only level 1 headings, but on a touch screen you can only tel it you want to navigate through any heading no matter what its level is.

Would you consider adding a rare resurrection artifact maybe im later difficulties or extending the path with new story elements im a future update? I'm picturing a situation where new paths with all new adventures would unlock as you finish what's available.

I like the idea of giving players tips along the way, since personally I tend to think that difficulty in the game comes from understanding the mechanics  and using what you find, also not being put off by the loud mouthed people with no patience (you should've seen what happened with a dark room and the Ensign).

for resurrection, I a resurrection item sounds good since there have been times (like the last game I got to the castle), where it would've been really handy to have in reserve, though I do see the point of making sure players can't hold more items.

In terms of extending the game, I actually like the length the game has at the moment, what would be cool would be more encounters, traps, monsters, different locations to visit  and  extending some of the mechanics a little to throw even more fun into the mix.

For example:

Towers of testing: Ruins and dungeons are cool, but a successive tower with a harder challenge on each floor would be fun, and be a nice way to test your greed vs, survival instincts.

Blessings: It'd be fun to have temples to gods where you could earn a blessing which changed the game in some way giving you benefits so long as you adhered to the god's own wishes. For example, perhaps you could have a defense plus 4 blessing, but to retain it you'd have to use no edged weapons, or have a life plus 2 blessing, but be required to abstain from mushrooms.

Ranged weapons, usable just before a fight starts to hit a monster, but with the disadvantage that after using a ranged weapon the enemy always gets the first round of attack, plus of course once you've used your arrow or thrown your dagger its gone.

Combat conditions: What I mean here are random affects that sometimes happen during fights to make things even more interesting such as you and the monster losing speed due to muddy ground conditions, or both getting a higher defence due to a narrow passage, you could make life particularly interesting by varying these in environment.

Poisoned mushrooms: At the moment none identified mushrooms really aren't too bad, but it makes sense there are some nasty ones out there.

Cursed weapons: what is a roguelike without cursed weapons? Actually cursed weapons would be even more fun here, since with weapon breakage as a thing, it'd be quite an amusing game change to be wailing away with that cursed minus 2 attack sword in hopes of it breaking .

Potion brewing: I always end up finding more mushrooms than I need, it'd be sort of cool to be able to brew potions out of these, perhaps to make them safer to drink or perhaps with the threat of them blowing up in your face.

Previous character's  body:  It'd be rather fun (as well as potentially an ease to difficulty), if after your character died, your next run you could encounter the previous character's body containing one or other of their items. Obviously not their hole inventory (all those grave robbing goblins), but maybe just a single item chosen at random from the pool of any items your current character didn't have.

And before I go totally off the rails with suggestions methinks I'll stop there .

Regarding the difficulty, that is actually a really interessting topic. More difficult games are more challenging and mentally engaging. You as a developer have to decide what type of experience you want your players to have. More importantly, some games demand a certain approach on this topic. The Mario games would never have become so popular if they'd been really difficult. On the other hand dark souls couldn't work with an easy mode.
So imho you shouldn't think necessarily about making a game easier to meet the players demands. You should make it easier if you think the game is more fun that way. In this special situation I however think an easier first playthrough could engage the player more, teach them about the mechanics and give them more motivation to tackle the harder options. So turning down the difficulty at the beginning might improve the overall game experience.
Or maybe not? I actually didn't think of the first option as to difficult. And it felt rather rewarding to beat the game as warrior. So no complains from me about the difficulty... But yet again, difficulty balance is one of the hardest thing in game development. Btw, Game Maker's Toolkit, the channel I've posted earlier, has lots of excellent videos regarding that topic if you're interessted.

About that micro transaction resurrection... Yeah, at first I also felt a bit taken aback about that. But I think the problem I had with it was the extremely toxic atmosphere against micro transactions in general at the moment. After I settled down a bit I found it totally okay. Roguelikes have permadeath by default, so when I die I accept my fate and don't bother with that option. I think of it as a way to support you as a developer and get a reward for that, not really of a pay to win option. But thats probably because I try to be very generous, I am not surprised that there has been an outrage from other gamers.
Before you patch this one out I will buy me a second life next game over just to support you.

Woo thanks!

I found a minor bug where switching one of the bottom tabs would make me not be able to pick the choices for that tab unless I change one of the top ones and change back. I do like the new tabs though.

On another note, how much would it hurt the game's balance if you increased the exp gain of stronger monsters just a little bit? I'm not talking avout the bosses, although they might as well be factored in, but what about the regular and wraith type monsters?

@Kenshira, hmm that's weird. Just checked the code and don't see anything strange. I've put up a new web build, could you check if it happens there as well? Link to web build: https://www.pathofadventure.com/beta2/
I'll have a look at the XP. Do you feel XP is not going fast enough at the end?

@Dark, the support from this community is already fantastic! Couldn't wish for more. For now, I'm going to focus on adding content and leave the revenue model alone for a while. I just hope the game gets some more traction, so that I can continue working on it.
Ooh, thanks for letting me know about Applevis! I was keeping an eye on it, but not close enough, it seems

@keeweed I'm still experiencing the bug in the demo build. Wonder if anyone else has this problem.

As for the bit about exp being too slow, I only feel like that in the higher difficulties where you have 1 bonus stat to start with. I felt like there weren't enough opportunities to pour points into the boss stat and have enough other stats to survive, thereby making survival more dependant on luck and less on skill. If this was how you intended it to be then maybe there could be another balancing solution.

I also saw some of the reviews you were talking about and yeah, saying that something id a waste of time without a constructive reason why isn't exactly helpful, and in my opinion isn't your falt at all. Anyway, very curious to see what more you have planned.
