I feel like Space should be used to speed up the game, since space is used to progress levels. Seems much more natural, personally. Anyway, 5/5 from me. Love some well thought-out puzzle games.
Oh man. I remember playing this on another website that was posted on reddit. This and Rhythm Doctor. I spent hours and hours playing this. Ended up quitting on 3-x(1.6x) Came back today and got the hard badge in 5 minutes. But I'm not taking the time to get to 1.6 again >.>
I'm not sure what everyone's problem with this game is. First, the controls issue: Maybe people are having issues with ghosting? The jumping and climbing worked perfectly well and intuitive for me. I found no problems with it. But it's possible the dev patched the jump bug everyone was having.
Second, the "hard climb". I went through the game waiting to find this "impossible wall". When I beat the game, I realized people must have meant the wall before the square-room. Holy shit, people, it took me 2 tries.
Anyone even decent at platformers should have no problem with it. Unless they had the jump bug affect them.
All I can come up with is: 1. The average Kongregaters are not that great at games. or 2. the dev of the game patched it before my playthrough.
That said, this is definitely one of my favorite games on kongregate. The jumping and climbing worked extremely well (for my playthrough, at least), and the art is very pretty. I look forward to your next game, dev.
Right before the zombie boss, i got a normal sword, but it had a frost element. That made him SUPER easy cause he moves really slow, and half the time i knocked him back faster then he walked foreward.
Ok, to get the mage to attack you have to level to ger her a skill (duh!). And also your "friend" is a girl. You drag items onto your dragon in the invitory to feed him (it even tells you this in the game). sometimes i dont understand why people cant read instructions.
For those who didn't understand the other people's comments on the mouse-following owls level, you need to look for a tiny button in the trees that is the apple. you know your on the button when every owl goes away. move your mouse away from the owls.
I have seen alot of comments explaiing bad things that happened with the game. The first time i played, Nothing was wrong at all, but the second time, i only saw a couple glitches. 5/5
