[Dweller] Resting?

[Guest]

Hey,

Just started playing Dweller on my new phone and it seems like a pretty
nifty game Simple enough to pick up quickly and easy to control despite
the lack of keys available. However I can't seem to get too far in it as I
can't work out how to regenerate hit points. I can quaff the starting
potion for 3 HP or so but beyond that they just seem to dwindle away till i
eventually die. Is there something that I'm missing here, or am I just
supposed to find more potions somehow? I've tried just pressing 5
repeatedly to stand on the same spot, but it doesn't seem to make any
difference.

The only way to replenish hitpoints is by quaffing potions of healing or
increasing hitpoints on level up. In the next version mushrooms of
healing will grow in the forest above the dungeon, but until then
potions of healing is your friend. Future versions will include even
more ways to regain hitpoint; scrolls of healing, wands of healing,
books of healing and so on. The reason that I have decided against
regaining hitpoints when resting is that there is no food or other
resource that would run out and prevent the player from resting all the
time.
