Most of the bugs described below are fixed in the upcoming [[Version History|v0.51]].
===Acid Rain===
[[Wands]] of [[Wand_of_Acid_Rain|acid rain]] can destroy terrain without drawing any hostility to the player. In addition, acid puddles left by acid rain also do not draw hostility to the player if stepped in by neutral or friendly characters. Acid rain only turns NPCs hostile if it rains directly onto them.<br>
As such, it can be exploited in various ways, such as destroying the sumo arena and covering the floor in acid for an easy win, or causing wandering NPCs like the Patrol guard to melt to death.
=== Banana Kicking ===
Save scumming itself is quite simple; just save and exit IVAN, then find the save file in the game files and copy it to a different directory. Run the game again and continue playing until you die. At this point, restore the save file by copying it back from the temporary directory to the game files, and restart the game. Assuming the correct files were copied, the game continues as it was at the point of saving. This act basically breaks the spirit of the game, as you can try and repeat every situation as many times as you want, until the most positive outcome for you becomes true.
Save scumming can do more than allow a player to avoid death. Indeed, just about any random element (such as the result of a [[Gods|prayer]], [[items]] generated on a new floor or how much damage a monster inflicts this turn) can be changed this way.
