I never had to purchase one potion throughout the entire game. Just alternate 1 for 1 Strength and Dexterity, And put all of your gold into buying armor. If you do a little bit of leveling, especially after you get the extra drop rate relic, you just plain stop taking damage.
I really like the concept of a healer that doesn't have mana. I realize that, in games that have Mana, so much of my time was spent worrying about Mana Conservation, that I was always second-guessing myself and not really taking the time to enjoy the game. In the next chapter, I would recommend a little bit more of a challenge. More enemies might be good. As it stands, there's no real reason to get the HP skill buff. Perhaps throwing in some weaknesses would be good, too. Undead weak against Fire and Smite, Living weak against arrows and swording.
I would think that, once you get into the higher soul counts, the purposes of the Life Stat would be rather simple: 1( You need to have a sizable amount in life just to keep up with the death rate and remain at maximum population. Even when holding down the spacebar, they will eventually start dying as fast as you spawn them. 2( As several others have mentioned, Temples give you more souls the more levels you gain. 3( Life can be used as a timer so that you can leave the game alone for a bit, and then come back to it.
I think this is a great game, and I could lose hours into it. I think that the general idea behind the game is fun; however, I think that if a few other options were implemented, it would be even better. Having some way to fine tune the orbits of the planets is really a must here, whether that be having an auto-circular orbit function, or just making it so you can choose to use the gravity well with less power. I also feel as though we need to have a speed adjustment slider, kind of like how the game slows down when we zoom in on a planet, even if it were only enabled in sandbox mode.
This is a game that I could lose hours of my life to. The one suggestion I could make is, perhaps, make an in game shop. When you uncover one of the blank squares, you get a gold coin, and you can spend that to buy armor which would give damage resistance, or a weapon that would deal more damage, or even health potions. The game's difficulty is right on there with minesweeper: which is to say, still a little too hard. It's fun regardless.
There really does develop a lag problem when a certain number of enemies get on the map. Having Quality on lowest doesn't help at all. There's like... A 5 to 10 second spurt of the hand just clicking wherever it wants, where you just plain can't do anything, especially in survival mode. Still a great game, though. 5/5
You know, I think this game actually succeeded in scarring me mentally. This is not the type of game you sit your kid in front of to play. Gonna have to say low score on this. I have to be entertained by a game, and I was definitely not.
Honestly, it was a perfect game until the boss. This game had no frustration, and you just sat back and played it, without trying to BEAT anything. You were just aiming to win the game. It was really fun.
The boss was frustrating. It's a drastic change from the ease and flow of the game. And when you finally beat the boss... The fox takes a nap. It would have been okay to end it on the nap if the boss wasn't there, but with that sheer amount of frustration involved, it leaves the player wanting a bit of a payout. Still. 5/5
The game has promise, but frankly, it's too hard. Or rather, getting Rank S is too hard. You get instantly discouraged when the first monster gets through and you think that it's game over. More crystals in the beginning would probably fix the issue.
I'd love to see this game expand more: give multiple bunnies that we can woo, and not that just that blond bimbo, Coriander (That poor, poor Pirate Chick...)
There is no "beat the game", from what I see. There are 26 endings, and "beating the game" probably means getting all 26 endings.
bguy: The smith polishes the shield. ;D
What does leveling your health and magic DO? I haven't seen it really do anything. It doesn't seem to increase how much health you have: only the vials do that. 5/5 anyways.
