You need to bring up the XP for Kingpin, or slow it down, because as it is, it's one step short of impossible if you've got any kind of frame rate problem at all.
Pretty awesome game. Would like to mention a bug that basically gets rid of the grind.
If you go to Tadpole mode, you can run into a monster and enter the inventory screen at just the right time (it's kinda hard to get the timing down, but its very consistent once you do). What happens is you lose control of the tadpole, and suddenly it has a health total equal to your base health. Very easy way to farm up 4-5k gems in a couple minutes, but obvious bug is obvious :(
You know, I spent almost 20 minutes trying to figure out what the freaking name meant last night. I woke up today and was like... "Oh hey, its like the Iliad... but with Snails."
Excellent game! A couple things I would suggest. Hitbox. It feels janky, I'm getting hit by things that aren't near me, and sometimes things are just passing by me like nothing hit me. Knockback, its a big huge, even with maxed resil, town it down just a touch. Bullets - The enemy bullets scale damage, and theres nothing worse than having 3 health left, getting to 900 meters, and jumping around a corner and boom, theres an aimed bullet in your face, and you die. I would like to see bullets either scale slower or not at all. 5 stars either way, great game, especially given the time limit you were given though!
A few changes should be in order.
Hotkey 1-5, remove this "counter push" crap...
and the biggest change, DON'T DELETE MY SAVE IF I ACCIDENTALLY CLICK NEW GAME.
You put them right next to each other, and then don't have a deletion confirmation? I was excited to play a couple rounds, then boom, deleted my file on accident.
