hi berzerkstudio: please add a "repeat last action". it would be particularly useful after having chopped the legs out from under my opponents and have to wait for them to bleed out.
at the start of the game, if you zoom all the way out you wrap around and are at the final level. you can then play the game backwards.. regardless of that being a bug, i think it's the coolest bug ever.
OK. Icewind pass is broken. I thought i missed something but apart from it being really hard (for me - and only able to finish it on easy) it is stuck. it wont continue. wave 18 was beaten and the game is just sitting there doing nothing.
multimodal gameplay. one screen could be a platformer where the goal is to collect the missing words for the story. another could have letters fall away if you're not fast enough. you could introduce a spotlight and force a bit of a memory game to remember the 'words' you need. you could require the player to guess a necessary word (ala old school text adventures). one 'chapter' could offer the player a persistant special ability "jump" "swim" "climb" 'shoot' and whichever word chosen is used in a unique way to solve the subsequent chapter if applicable. it could allow a player to collect uniques for example.
regardless, it's nice to read a game once in a while :)
1/5 for forcing one to use child labour. up till level 12 i kept firing the kid to 'be the good guy'. for all the moral high ground the game is ultimately claiming to represent, that's bad design IMHO.
