Very fun game. The only thing I can think of adding, would be something to make battles a little more interactive. Even something like a power bar that would fill up during battle, and when pressed unleash a special attack. Or being able to have some control over the monsters during battle. Anyway, great game. 5/5
Pirate: Uhhh, captain I was just wondering... Where exactly were all of those turrets and bombs coming from? And what happened to all of the gold we got from those monsters?
Captain: I be buyin' all our surplies from de Walmart on the other side of this 'ere island.
Pirate:... You mean we could have been sleeping in a safe enclosed shelter every night instead
of taking turns keeping watch for monsters on a broken ship?
And this is where we enter the scene at the end of the game.
Great game, and hard! The best advice I can give you is, at the beginning of the round and after the gems get mixed up, always look for an opportunity to match four or more gems, as this tends to be when they line up like this. If you can chain these together, you can take several turns without the enemy taking a turn at all. Also, on the final boss get your shield maxed out, and get the defense gems whenever you can. Once your shield is maxed and you match up three or more defense gems, your enemies attacks won't hurt you for one round. Get a defense attack/counterattack combo, and it works even better.
Fun, but difficult. I really like the sound track, and the way the colors look. The music reminds me of some sort of country music blaring through an old radio.
