I probably should have checked that the save function works (it still doesn't) before spending kreds on the auto clicker that's pretty much necessary for this game to be slightly less than mind-numbingly slow.
My leader got ill, it's way to early in the game for either of my two other choices to do any damage at all, and there's no option for me to do anything but sit and watch the fail.
This game was a lot of fun . . . until it wasn't. But I really wanted to find out what the warp core did, so I persevered. After 70 runs I finally defeated Atropos, and discovered I will never find out what the warp core does. Beating a game should come with a sense of accomplishment, not a sense of getting punched in the face.
There's a lot of hate for Dim, but I find solving his castles to require thinking out how to use the materials at hand instead of randomly chucking bombs and hoping everything dies.
Well the cheat doesn't seem to work for me. I can't say I mind that. But what I found most useful was turning off the sound. The cannons and especially the clappers do NOT move to the rhythm. After turning off my sound I got the hard and impossible badges in one try. (And I don't have that annoying song stuck in my head.)
The defensive path not only had the shield, pretty much mandatory, but also had better offensive weapons then the offensive path. I found the offensive path to be unwinable, but that may have just been the particular choices I took.
Mirrors occasionally refract light beams instead of reflecting them, this makes difficult levels nearly impossible as even when you're doing it right, you fail.
