You can combine 3 red berries for an heart vial that heals all your creatures for 20 HP still not sure what the white egg at the start of the game does though :/
A good decent forge recipie is to collect 3 red berries, once you've got them i'll leave it to you, it creates a heart vial that heals all your animals for 20 HP decent huh?
A typical scroll shooter game, you can only take 1 hit before you kick the bucket, you have 1 more life than expected and you can only take one upgrade at a time, 1/5 the oringinal hair pulling retro game :/
