For some reason, sanity gain from discarding resolves *after* madness effects, so if you go insane before your turn starts, you don't have a chance to recover before, say, losing your Elder and Arcane from Schizophrenia. I suggest having sanity gain happen when you discard the card, so that you're sane again before the turn ends. Otherwise, you have the paradox of something only taking effect after one's turn is over.

It would appear that dwarves can't hit an ogre if they've reached the enemy tower and the ogre's behind it. On the other hand, the ogre *can* hit them.

AND the final boss is glitched. On what I assume is the final step, the "space" icon comes up. I press space. It doesn't go away. I tap space again. Suddenly, eight copies of the icon appear all overlapping and I am dead.

Entertaining, but far too easy.

It's spelled "Chronicle". So the menus give you no explanation or information whatsoever, the storyline is incoherent even if it's meant to be throwing you into the deep end as an opening, and I've been killed by a boss battle I had no reason to expect, no way to prepare for, and no means of saving before. Not to mention a battle system that forces you to perform constant mental arithmetic when Japanese RPGs learned how to give simple and elegant damage readouts about 20 years ago. The graphics are good in an old-school way, but that's about all I can say for this game. Maybe it makes more sense to people who have played Chrono Trigger, but as a standalone Flash game this is a failure. Look to the Mardek series for an example of how to make user-friendly menus and combat and keep the player engaged with the story through calculated exposition.

With the Noir powerup on, other Noir bubbles look just like normal bubbles, which prevents one from picking them up to prolong it. Also, occasionally, one or two mines will appear from the top of the screen after the "bubbles only" powerup has been picked up, leading to likely death.

Advice to all game developers who aren't fluent in English (and you aren't, if the spelling, grammar and syntax of this game are anything to go by): you have Internet access. Use it to find at least one native speaker to proofread your text before you publish it. Please.

Wait, the Medium badge is part of the challenge requirement? So not only is this a poorly chosen game in a week of great releases, but the challenge itself is thoughtlessly designed? I've heard the reasoning behind not choosing MD2, but unless it applies to all the new hits, poor show, Kongregate.

Like it's predecessor, a uniquely beautiful and well-crafted game. However, I miss the surreal scenarios of the original (like the man taking a giant molecule for a walk). This time round, everything seems too real, almost (but not quite) ordinary.

Very enjoyable game, though sadly short. Also, I don't think I unlocked any codes through completing it.
