From a combination of the lag, the jump often failing to register, the fact that many enemies attack faster (while I can't boost attack speed), and the way that I'll attack and my back-end guys can sometimes stay behind either above or below where we're fighting, I wish I could rate 0/5 stars.
From when I first placed this was 5/5 but coming back to mess around again, I'm finding it to be absurd how you cannot instantly retract the rocket even though your window of view is absolutely tiny and you're flying 200mph at balloons that act like brick walls. Like, even when I see the balloon in time and release the space bar, the game still takes a half second to morph me into ball mode, causing me to collide with the balloon. Due to this absurd combination, I'm dropping to 4/5. Even simply having a larger area of view, ideally one that grows/shrinks as you accelerate/decelerate, would fix this problem.
I'm literally watching my guy land on the platforms and get dragged into the spikes directly next to them. This would be funny if I weren't trying to get all of the coins.
Finally got it working. Brilliant stuff! I love how you oh-so-gently mixed up the dynamics. Like, the abilities weren't ground-shatteringly new concepts, but so simply beautiful for what was necessary. 5/5
I'm super surprised at how laggy this is. If it were smoother, easily 4/5. But, for now, I can't give it more than a 2. You know that one moment when the orcs all rush out and fall down the trap-bridge? My game dropped to 2fps from all of their gold sitting at the bottom of the trap (I'm glad gold despawns, but for such a low-graphic game this is just absurd).
I'm on Google Chrome and for some reason it's not working. When I beat the first level I go outside and nothing's changed, I then go back inside and the leave resets. I then tried restarting on the outside, after I walk in the door, and then at the first "check point" place. The other resets were fine, but at the checkpoint it glitched out and won't show me on the screen. Any idea what's up? I love the concept.
Update: I managed to get my food production back (from 2k-10k a day) by going to normal speed instead of double speed and placing my screen right in the middle of where most of my farms are. After this my stone production plummeted, but I didn't really need anything so I just disabled all of my Refinement factories and let the game run until I had 100k knowledge. Hope this info helps!
I've found the weirdest glitch (Still 5 stars). On my road to getting 100k Knowledge, I found myself around 5.7k pop with 599 eco-farms. Out of nowhere, I went from producing about 7k food per day to somewhere around 2k per day. I'm wondering if somehow the game is lagging out so badly that only the farms on my screen are functioning? Legit, I'm not sure. I've exported the save at this moment if you're interested in testing it out on your machine. I'll try a few things on mine to see if I can get it normal again.
That does sound very weird and shouldn't happen! It would be great if you could send me the save (as link via PM, or to bugreport190914@florianvanstrien.nl)
The fact that my keys fail to register 40% of the time (the keys work fine, instantly, in every other game) caused me to give a 2/5. If it weren't for that, I'd totally shoot 4/5 if not 5.
Cool idea for sure, and grateful that it's not timed, but the fact that there's only one way to solve it each time makes it less challenging to me. Basically, just gotta find the tube that moves forward more than a few steps (thus, making the stars more like guides than an extra challenge).
To be clear: I rated 5/5 and absolutely adore this game. What bothers me is the limit of 16 levels (new game+ would be sweet) and, especially, the RNG for drops. I'm pretty tired of getting all warrior stuff while playing mages and all mage stuff while playing warriors. (Even if the drops didn't change, making the merchant more class-relevant would make the drops endurable due to the transference tables.) I basically just bare-knuckled through with Necro (Not first win, probably 14th or so) due to finding nothing but rings (found two Vampire rings), melee weapons, and plate armor (I'm confident I wouldn't have made it if Necro didn't have the Summon-LifeTap-Cannibal combo).
