densch, any redundant equipment you collect is converted into a permanent 25% DPS boost for the hero that would normally receive the equipment. This boost stacks, and survives soft resets.
Rumor has it that The Princess has the hots for the Bushwhacker. She'd like him to whack her bush, but ever since King Reginald joined the party, they can't get within three feet of each other before being stopped by King's Command. Alas, it seems like the only one getting lucky in this party is Gold Panda.
Every puzzle game should offer the option to skip ahead by up to two levels, for those that are getting stuck and want to move on and get a fresh perspective.
ARGH! I immediately used the saw and it got stuck! I need it for another part of the game, but I have no idea how to get it out! I'm sure I've tried everything... is this one of those traps that makes the game unwinnable?
There are no traps that makes the game unwinnable. You just need to find a way to get back the saw. If you're stuck remember that there is a walkthrough in the game description! ;)
One thing you could do to make combat more interesting is to have Map regions host specialized enemy types which are susceptible to certain combat upgrades but resistant to others. Nimble (weak to Dagger, resists Battleaxe); Electric (thwarted by Boots, bypasses Shoulderguards); Stone (weak to Mace, resists Dagger); Psychic (thwarted by Helmet, bypasses Boots); Beastly (weak to Polearm; resists Mace); Burrowing (thwarted by Pants, bypasses Helmet); Shielded (weak to Battleaxe, resists Greatsword); Cutthroat (thwarted by Shoulderguards, bypasses Breastplate); Draconic (weak to Greatsword, resists Polearm); Ranged (thwarted by Breastplate, bypasses Pants).
Fun fact: In the actual Roman Colosseum, a thumbs up from the emperor meant he was giving the okay to execute the combatant, while a thumbs down meant sparing their life.
