Hi.
@TouchMint:
Yes, all other direction buttons works. I have just tried to remove the app without deleting the user data and reinstall it again, but that didn't made any difference. We are at leased two people who are having this issue.
Can you explain more about how the floors are connected? It doesn't make any sense to me.
Sounds great regarding the update.

I think I might have found a bug with voice over on this game. When I am playing the game I have vertical navigation selected.
If my character is on block 12 and I swipe up for the next row to move him to block 6. Voice over will read block 12 even if I keep swiping up.
How do you get around this? Also I think that when you enter a room the voice over cursor should automatically be on your character. Also it would be good to say the location number near the direction section for those who might just use the direction instead of doing the other way of moving around.

Yes, there is a problem with tiles that have an image on it. This is not unique to this game or dev, it may be a VO problem.
Swiping up just focuses between the items on the tile. Swiping left and right sounds like you're move the focus to other tiles, but only the tile has a number and it says the other things there without a number.
I swipe left or right to then go up.
Also, swiping up from 12 would go to 7 not 6.

The center indicates what tile you're on, it says the number too.

Can someone explain how to get into elevated rooms? I keep finding these rooms that I can’t access. I’m also having a lot of trouble finding keys for the locked doors. Do I have to search other floors for the keys?

If character is on 12, swiping right from 12 goes to the character and then to 13.
If there is something else, like an NPC, it takes another swipe.
Swiping left from 12 will go to 11, even if the character is there, that might be the best option, to then go up and around.

I may redo how the character on floors works and just add it as a hint to the floor.

You can also use the directional pad move about.

I am introducing headers for the rotor that should make navigating all pages of the game easier.

More details soon on that.

30.
im not having the bug even now.
note that im not playing with vertical navigation.

Sorry if I missed it but can you let me know the phone model and iOS version you are on.

Just to be clear the north, east south and search buttons all work? Only the west button on the directional pad is broken?

Thanks for helping me get to the bottom of this problem!

Some of the older games have trouble if you are not on iOS 17 or higher. At some point an Apple update broke the games but iOS 17 seemed to fix them. Likely due to my poor coding but if you can update that device to iOS 17 it should work. (I just tested with and without voiceover). I will note that battle arena can be a bit harder to nagivate. It’s missing a lot of QoL voiceover improvements I made along the way. If you are wanting a free battler I would suggest future arena since it has those improvements and plays very similar to battle arena.

Hi,
Thank you so much for this.
Loving what I have played so far, good to know the skeleton key was a diversion.  Spent ages looking for that haha.
I love being able to use the navigation pad and search buttons to easily find where I am.  It's far easier than hittingg exact squares all the time.  Though I do use that from time to time as well.

@hSLJ:

Try updating to the latest iOS version; maybe that will fix the problem. I've never run the game on iOS 17.3; I've been using iOS 17.4 since I started testing. So far, 17.4 hasn't broken anything, so updating doesn't seem to carry any serious risks.

For those struggling on navigating I setup a guides channel on the discord with a spoiler warning. The guides so far include direct routes through the cove and jungle areas.

I’ll be putting more indepth guides in like points of interest for each zone where to find pets etc.

Once I get all these guides done I’ll likely post here too in a different thread market as all spoilers too.
