my only complaint is that it seems to be very CPU intensive. that really is it though. i love how you handled star gems. having them make the game a little easier/more convenient, rather than having features only obtainable by buying star gems. exactly how premium content should be. a great game, glad to play it.
this game has just kind of become farmville for me. the levels are just too repetitive and boring, so i'm farm/grinding till my level is high enough to easy mode the rifts.
i think an animated audience would have made this game much more fun to watch. the way you have it, it is just kind of boring, watching the same animations cycle over and over.
the hard badge is pretty easy, just time consuming. just try to keep your equipment upgraded as high as you can and then when you're in battles, spam revive potions.
it would be cool if there was a screen that told me how well i did on a level money-wise so that i could get a better idea of which levels are best for grinding
it would be cool to see a much bigger sequel with stuff like upgrades (bigger circles, staying larger longer, moving faster). everyone loves upgrades. either way, this one gets a 4/5 from me. lots of mindless fun. haven't hit level 12 yet though...
