The weak blocks don't add much to the game, other than forcing you to redo the same boring, picky challenge two more times. 24 and 27 are big offenders.
I don't know how, but when I went back to the menu during level 10 and reselected it, I skipped to level 13. When I then beat 13, it went right to 14 like it was supposed to. On my screen right now, it lets me select levels 10 and 14 on the second screen of levels, but not the rest.
I love these games. The controls feel great, they're really responsive, and the plot doesn't get in the way of the game. My only criticism is that it's hard to tell what doors/springs will send me forward without a way back. I want to explore each area, but if I hit the wrong spring, I'm sent into the next area.
I really dislike that you can lose these levels so easily. It just makes it so you do the level to completion, then have to do it all over again, making sure that you start with those few empty squares. It'd be a lot more fun and relaxing if you couldn't reach a "lose" state.
Great start. Definitely needs a way to pause it, tons more upgrades, and a clearly defined end, but I look forward to seeing what you can do with this concept.
I've been playing this for an hour and a half while watching TV. The balance is broken. Basically all I've done is build a giant wall around the edge of the map. I've been upgrading one crystal mine and the walls whenever possible. The zombies can't break through and burn to death every morning.
Hi. Go to options (lower right corner, in the level selection menu) and disable the 2 hints "Show column/row errors" and "Auto fade correct sums". Enjoy :)
Friendly reminder that whenever a game asks you to follow them to earn bonus points, you can just click the button, close the new page, and earn the bonus without having to actually do what they ask you to.
Forced hits have no place in a Metroidvania. I spent a long time trying to figure out where to go, only to realize (thanks to the comment section) that I just had to run through the lava and hope I was heading in the right direction.
Hi Kalel, just wanted to share the game with my friends :/
