This is a PSP port of an unusual roguelike Save Scummer by Jeff Lait, where the only action you can perform is moving through the time forwards and backwards.

User guide

The goal of Save Scummer is to address the long standing concern that "save scumming" - the act of saving & restoring save files until one succeeds at a game - is detrimental to playing roguelikes.

In this game, saving and restoring save files is the only action you can perform. As such, it might be the first roguelike to feature infinite undo (limited to todo steps in PSP version).

Notes

The goal of Save Scummer isn't to show how un-fun save scumming is. It is to make a game where save scumming is fun. It is thus important you take the game in light-hearted manner.

Take the time to relish laughing at the face of death. Pick the most unlikely way through a combat, laughing as one's opponent miss every blow. Stair scum the new level until it is just how you want it.

No, that isn't a bug. You merely got bored before the @ did. Hit space and give it some time.

No, that isn't a bug either. The white! are a clever inside joke. They aren't the result of hurriedly shipping a 7DRL without carefully validating the item generation code. Honest.

No, that also isn't a bug. Pixie Wizards have such frail constitutions that they are killed even by attacks missing them.
