There ought to be a 1-click option to walk away and return to the village if they're offering you shit equip. Currently your only option is send in the human > settings > resign this game > yes > return to village > begin. I'm at fame 13 having defeated 3 green dragons, the villagers shouldn't still be giving me +1 sword +2 bow +1 shield 9 times out of 10.
I'm at 12 fame and have gotten past the 3 black dragons and here's what I've gleaned so far: The graphics are beautiful. The gameplay is masochistically addicting. Progress is mind numbingly slow, the villagers continue to give you shit equip, and success is SOLELY based on luck. Avoid rooms that offer nothing, cross your fingers to get decent equip in deeper levels, grab as much potions as possible, and pop into the dragon(s) den. Leap around dragons to avoid the breath attack.
Just killed 2 green dragons, on my very next mission I got destroyed by a room full of frogs. Makes sense.
Also, if you're at 50 fame why on earth would you bother playing level 1 elf or dwarf?
I think it could be a fun game, but the fact that it's a REAL F'in GRIND kinda takes the fun out of it. You get in a room full of monsters that have missile attacks and you might as well refresh the browser.
I don't go for speedruns because there's something deeply satisfying with dominating the crap out of the creepers. I'll purposely avoid connecting the totems just so I can fill up the screen with reactors, storages, and speed.
It's a fun game for a while, but you definitely hit a wall of "same s#it different level" and eventually reach a point where the grind isn't worth it anymore.
Wonderful art and musical score. Game itself is an unending, repeating sequence of cookie cutter mini-quests which the only challenge they present is the amount of time you're willing to spend on them. There are so many mini-quests that you lose track of where to cash in on the quest prize so you'll spend half the time trying to track them down.
I got it to 20-something and the airspace was devoid of aircrafts to bounce off of. So it's a game of luck? Folks, take the L and move on. This game is not worth your time.

Thanks! Yeah, the balancing of the levels isn't great... But that's what game jams is all about, learning and improving :)
