I would suggest that maybe you get to keep a portion--even 10%--of what you make in silver and XP when you get defeated. Because I keep dying against the final shogun and it's very frustrating to think of having to wipe my save and start from the beginning.
Something weird goes on for me during daimyo battles--once the daimyo appears, the mana bar starts losing energy even though I'm not using special abilities, and it actually goes down to -3%!
Also I think you should be able to replay earlier maps in order to gain more silver and experience--at this point I'll never be able to unlock the third companion, because I don't have enough XP and I've already beaten everyone else but the shogun.
i designed the game in such a way that you need to make a decision to either specialise or generalise your upgrades within a single campaign... kinda like an overall strategy to the game. that said, i'm considering putting in difficulty levels. come back in a day or so!
If you get hit in the Poseidon minigame, it's impossible to dodge the next obstacle if it's right there (generally happens with a bird and then a jumping obstacle). This can be very frustrating, if you have two hearts left and then both get taken in the last 3 seconds (happened to me twice!). There should be a short invulnerable period after getting hit.
Ok, it turns out I had the wrong hat... now I'm stuck again. I have the wooden sword/handle, the pants, the glass of water and the evil plans. I've gotten the satyr outfit. I don't know what to do next; I've rubbed everything on everything in adventure game fashion and I'm well and truly stuck!
So, you HAVE the evil plans? Does this mean you have not completed the colosseum? If you're still being told you're wearing the wrong outfit, try selecting the gladiator outfit by cycling through the preset outfits on the RIGHT of the box of tricks, where Cuboy is displayed. This stops you from putting any of the wrong items on for a specific costume.
What outfit exactly do I need to fight in the arena? He keeps saying "if you want to fight you'd better get changed" but as far as I can tell, I'm wearing the gladiator outfit.
1. Should be totally keyboard controlled, toggle between blocks with keys and use keys to move between levels. 2. Needs an "undo last move" option. Messing up right near the end is SO irritating.
MARDEK 3 YESSSSSSSS. Okay substantial comment now: I was a beta tester, I review games for JayIsGames, I play a LOT of RPGs, and this is one of the best RPGs I have ever played, including console games that I paid $60 for. Amazing story, great gameplay, just all around fantastic.
