@Lucygraybaird: It attacks for you automatically, and the relevant stats level as their used (you can click the stat name in the Skills page to check what increases what). Any tool except the carving knife works as a weapon. Don't worry too much about dying, your HP gets cranked up every time you get hit. Swords and Axes are best for rounded stat-ups since both increase Deftness AND Strength
I really enjoy this series, and it's interesting to see it evolving with every new game. I noticed that the icons are simpler in this one, which I think is a pretty good call. I will say that the life system doesn't really... add anything to the game? It's just a pointless frustration that interrupts my rhythm if my hand slips a few too many times. It's not a terrible idea for an option, but I think making it a toggle might be helpful.
If you're going to have a game with such a repetitive mechanism, you really need a way to just restart a level, not End Level -> GoTo Lab -> Realize You Can't Afford Upgrade -> Go Back Outside -> Start New. It's too tedious a way to start a game out, makes it easy to lose interest or not build up enough to continue playing.
That's a nice idea, some king of alert to know if you can purchase something, or else restart again without going to shop. I'll take a think about that. Thanks for the suggestion.
Really interesting gameplay! I like how open the problem-solving is - when I realized I could swap mid-jump, it was literally a game-changer!
The box-pushing is quick which is really nice for such a critical element (also like that it requires pressing another key so you're less likely to do it by accident), and it's handy that you can't put one character into the portal without the other, so you can't lock yourself out that way. It feels thought-out.
Fun story, neat premise and gameplay, and a pretty cool game!
just realized this is the same dev who decided to make a Facebook Energy style Doodle God game. The game that once I "played" it, I realized nothing good was gonna come from the Doodle God name again. Great job everyone.
I like how the tutorial is both overbearing AND makes it hard to actually understand the more complex concepts.
.....you have to wait or speed up to get workers after spinning? REALLY?
My favorite part is how this game has multiple gameplay aspects and genres that I really like, and is mostly constructed well, and yet I realize is absolutely unsufferable about ten minutes in. Amazing.
I appreciate the very first click upgrade being an auto-click that still counts towards total click achievements. Honestly clicker elements in general feel pretty unnecessary but you handled that well.
The game was decent when I first played months ago, and it has a lot of good points, but I think it's kind of all gotten tangled up. I'm not saying you should start completely fresh because I understand that would be a huge time sink, but maybe step back a bit and observe?
update (@Werewin, @notadrifter) so it turns out you have to do it in a very specific order I guess? Regen Efficiency FIRST to unlock the bar, fill the relevant bar, THEN increase the cap. @SamuraiGames, could you please make it more obvious when something need a prerequisite (and what that is) before it can work?
@Werewing - I have the same problem. The issue I have is that I can assign my entire Habbit set to those 2 items and the bar won't move at all, bc I guess I'm missing some prereq (possibly Lumberjacking-related). Been that way since I first tried 2 or 3 weeks ago
been stuck in the starting village for literal weeks. Can't get Destiny high enough to do Lumberjacking without beating Dad. Sloooooowly grinding up stat points to do that. The Dark Ritual feels like a double-bind since I need a high multi BUT it means losing a lot of progress..... I def remember getting out of the village WAY sooner the first time I played.
1 week since last dark ritual, maxed out every task I can. Still haven't beat Father in 5th fight. Can't do lumberly things because Destiny max is too low. I have to be doing something wrong here...
For such a beautifully detailed, clearly well-made game (I made not agree with the choices but that's different), I am shocked at how fast I got bored playing this. I'm playing a side game while grinding up for achievement.
Yanno, it occurs to me that common card game mechanics might exist for a reason... reasons that might have reduced the overall clunkiness of the gameplay here. Like counter attacks, turn phase end, the ability to drop a card back in your hand because WOW I didn't want to play that, thanks.
Lots of fast little things (including fast hints), a pause button... and no way to perform any actual actions (including MOVING AROUND) while paused.... really?
Agree that there's some balance issues and kind of slow start once you're on your 15+ round, but a really engaging and unusual take on break-out. I've never seen anything quite like this, it's pretty fun.
