== About the Review ==

The game played was The Jungle module of H-World 0.2.2.

== Synopsis ==

I played The Jungle for the first time, and managed to ascend. Thus:

YAAP: H-World/The Jungle 0.2.2

I killed the Skeleton Captain by first taking out his minions one at a
time & healing, then, using the Shattering Light War Hammer one of his
minions dropped, charged him.

I've tacked on various RFEs, text problems, and what I think to be
bugs. Please remember we wouldn't complain if we didn't play :>

Gear:

Shattering light war hammer, +19 impact!! 
Lantern 
Steel Helm 
Traders bag. Containing a backpack and a chest. The chest containing yet another chest. And my hinderance was 21 :> 
Bronze Amulet 
Battlesome Torso Plate (+1 hp) 
Glowing Sheild (+1 light) 
Expedition Belt 
Leather Pants 
Leather Boots 

Score: 5252

As the skills were recently added, I'll list those. Hopefully this
will help with balancing the distribution property.

== Cool Things ==

Bump doorposts to close doors is clever! I'm all for reducing as many
actions as possible into bumps.

I like the barter based trade! I found myself carrying a chest of
torches in order to be always able to make exact change, though :> 
Maybe if it didn't give you the exact numbers of what they think it is
worth? Way too little, almost enough, too much, etc. And the items
also thus said: "Estimated value: Little, Expensive, Kings Ransom"? 
As a min-maxer, it just hurts to see the 15 gold I lose as I didn't
have enough torches :>

I like the instant-pop-up on mouse hover. I also like the fun item
descriptions!

== Drawbacks ==

The problems found in this review have since been fixed.
