So the game is fun to play and requires nice strategy sometimes... UNTIL THE LAST BOSS. All the sudden there is a fight that is impossible unless you have exactly the right build, and with no way to rebuild your character other play another 8 hours... you get the point. Fix this. It was worth 4.5 stars. Not any more.
@Azihar - One of the spells I have planned for the future is Infravision, where the enemies will appear as red dots on the automap for a time. Not sure if I will make that a scroll or a character spell.
@OneLoveOneDeath - I am working on decent update to the game right now actually. The inventory now shows as slots between the health, mana, and CD globes where you can collect the health and mana refills to use at your discretion, and shows the other items you collect (keys, chalices, crystal balls). Also added an experience bar and character levels. Once you level up you will get attribute points to distribute among a few attributes which will influence your speed, casting speed, spell velocity, health, mana and maybe some form of stealth. Also made the automap scrollable with an outline surrounding the entire level. Chalices will provide a bump in health refill rate, and crystal balls will provide a bump in mana refresh rate. I hope to have the improvements completed and uploaded later today or I will probably miss the contest deadline. Future versions will include more levels, monsters, melee, traps, and less sameness among all the rooms. Thanks for the vote and feedback!
@Azihar - Thanks for the feedback. An updated version will be uploaded later today that has an improved automap which will show chests, doors and levers, and I have upped the distance the player can be from chests before they open. 6 weeks to dev didn't leave me any time for a full-fledged RPG, but will I probably be implementing more of those features in the near future.
Pros - good graphics, nice music, sounds and speech
Cons - way too easy to win, not enough items, ended game with something like 15,000 gold, never had to use any potions, some of the earlier fights were way tougher than the last boss.
Autosave is so badly needed on this game... My browser crashed and when I reopened the saved game was lost. VERY aggravating. Other than that, cool game.
I like games like this, except when you have to rely on using 3 hands to escape a lame teddy bear. Infuriating. After having to restart from the beginning for the 4th time, I chose to stop trying. Good Job killing the game play with a tedious exercise in memorizing moves through repetitive deaths.
I had a great time playing this game all the way to the end when it FROZE FIREFOX AND KILLED MY SAVED GAME!!! For that horrible bug that i give this 1 star.
