Stuck in a room without a teleportation device :(

Is this a bug or do I just have the worst luck?

would be nice if I could destroy the lame ass treasure chest that contains a ROCK....

Aww that sucks. It's probably too late to suggest this but if you're not against cheating, you could use /noclip to squeeze past the chest and the boulder. We might also make chests destructible in a future update, it bothers me a bit that they're not right now...

yeah, my first intention was to smash the treasure chest, but it's like hitting a wall without a pickaxe. hehe! dis me

IMO this is definitely one of those things that's in between "by design" and "yeah but it sucks."

Heh. You know what I'd do in this situation? I'd just save and quit. When you load from the previous checkpoint you start the level over and you just avoid the problem altogether. It's minor save-scumming, but still is save-scumming... so it depends on what you're comfortable with.

Lots of roguelites have situations you can't recover from because of bad luck, but due to time-based death, (starvation, ghost, etc.) you can argue that getting trapped is just one of the ways you can die in the game.
In this exact situation, destroying the chest does seem to make more sense than starving in the corner. But the same could happen in other types of corridors and you'd be just as screwed.

Maybe, but it'd be slightly less frustrating if only because it makes intuitive sense to be able to do something about a chest, if not a wall.

Good call on the save scumming though, I wouldn't have thought to do that.

Agreed!
