Added LOL: I totally didn't figure out I needed to do tournys for rank+ until I was more than halfway through the game....maybe the tutorial said something about that......but who reads tutorials
As soon as this game started I thought it was going to be awful...but it wasn't. Everything it could have done wrong (lots of grinding, lots of kreds)...it didn't do. I'd like a shorter tutorial and maybe a 10x battle speed...but pretty decent overall.
I can't even begin to explain how many times I've moved my rating up and down and up and down and up and down and down and down and up and up and up and down and up and...ok i guess I can BEGIN to explain it
No Q and M, but quality and mute are under the pause (P) menu. Annoying but they exist. If you refresh you gotta restart the game, repause, and change them again.
If you travel along the boarders from corner to corner without ever stopping, you basically never get hit since the boarders can kill bullets. I got multiple 50+ combos on L19 and L20 without even trying for a combo
I thought spreader gun was good in runner mode, but eventually the creatures get too strong for its weak bullets. Fully max out rebound gun and point your mouse at the bottom row heart 3rd from the right (slightly in front of you) and bullets will form a wall and let you focus on jumping without bothering with your mouse. :)
For a long time, until sometime after I learned the 6th spell, I assumed there was some sort of tunneling or transport spell...but NO, there were secret hidden pathways :P
Did basically the same thing all game. boost/arrow/pierce on both far ends facing inward to an eye/sticky in the middle which I stand on as I power up my sword with unused souls with the shop item. Same for survival but used worm instead of arrow. Good game...better to be somewhat easy than impossibly hard. :P
I can only play 2-3 rounds before I lose my shit at the repetitiveness and take a 2 hour break. At this rate, the hard badge will take me another 2 days..
