I actually really enjoyed this game ^_^ At first it seemed uber-simple, but then battle actually got a bit heated! This would be fun as an actual packaged card game too, I think.
Wow. I just seemed to fix the problem myself -- I noticed that my gamesave said "Level 9 - In combat" so I loaded it, played through and died, and when the scroll came up I just refreshed Kongregate. Now my gamesave no longer says "In combat" and I am standing outside the Corruptor's room again. Sweet.
I've been playing through on beginner mode for the past 3 days or so... yesterday I got to the Corruptor, and he caused my first fatality. I have a Warrior, Mage, Cleric, Rogue. The first two times my party died, when I reloaded the game I was standing outside the Corruptors room, able to change equipment, use items, and change skills. I reloaded the game today, and now when it begins I am automatically in the battle with Corruptor, and I do not get the chance to change equipment. This is really bad, as I am pretty sure I need to do this to beat him... Any suggestions short of restarting?
Am I the only one seeing a Sonic clone? The damned spiders hurt you too much though, I think. And there needs to be a button to drop through platforms.
