Tips: Hold the Left Key in the beginning to level up without dying. Hold both arrow keys to run in place (best near an inn to rest). The last dot is not an inn and you won't be resurrected at it if you die, nor gain HP back.
The advanced deck can be worse than the basic deck for the Xyloxi race in some cases... which means I suggest a way to modify the deck (I'm sure it's an idea the dev thought of already, so I look forward to it!). Also, after playing this game for about 4 hours straight last night, I have had space music in my head this morning o_O
