kakig369 - I also hate that you can't choose their gender, but you *can* change their names. Go to their character screen (the helmet) and click the gears next to their foot.
@JayFeather - do NOT refuse the welcome tax quest. It opens up other quests later on which give a lot of gold and resources, and you won't be able to do them if you refuse that one.
If you're having a hard time, go to the wiki and read the guides there. If you don't want to, some suggestions: Don't level up your workers until you have plenty of both money and stocked lower level items. Learn what adventurers take which items - don't offer a mage-class a sword, etc. There's a list on the wiki of who takes what. Don't spread around your level upgrade points - stick them in only one or two categories. The best seem to be customers and haggle, but you might want to experiment. Don't move to the next area or upgrade your shop or pay money on a quest until you have plenty of extra cash, in case you have a few bad days in a row. You can tell a quest giver to come back over and over again. But don't turn them down, because that locks you out of later quests. Don't join a guild - after the first day, it costs you money each day to be in one. If you need to trade points, set up a trade on chat, then join a guild with that person for a few minutes and leave.
Wow, harsh response for a simple question. Is the info (about M for mute) anywhere besides the tutorial? Because I don't see it in the game description, instructions, or anywhere in game, aside from the tutorial.
Fun game, though I think I liked Robot Want Puppy better. But the mothership was pretty awesome.
Small bug, though - the in-game achievement for a 15-combo specifies it can't be on the nanoswarm. But that's what I got it on.
Wow. I gotta say, I didn't expect to enjoy this game as much as I did. I only played it for the badges, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. Very cute, with an interesting game play.
My only complaint is that sometimes you end up in an area that you can't escape from and have to kill yourself to get out. I kinda wish you wouldn't lose a life for this.
Still, great game!
Okay, I love the artwork, I love the story, I love the music. Great job on the ambiance. But the gameplay is slow, unwieldy, and often boring. I really, really want to love this game, but I just don't enjoy the actual *game*. I hope you keep making games, though, and improve on it for the next one.
Why. The hell. Do you have to repeat every damn level when you fail one? I thought the casual game world had moved past that. Completely ruined an otherwise mediocre game. 1/5.
I have less jumping around from lag in the MMOs I play. I don't know what's up with it, I have cache set to unlimited and quality set to the lowest level, and it's still impossible to get a perfect on any song because some of the notes skip past the line without ever touching it. Too buggy for me - 1/5.
Very enjoyable! Only two issues I had with it - days of the week and months not being in the dictionary (that just bugs me!) and how difficult it is to deal with spiders that get higher up when you have more spiders down below. Got very frustrated sometimes with that. However, excellent game overall!
(And those of you having problems transmuting, I did too at first. You have to drag the two (or more, if you're doing it in larger groups) letters you're combining into the green tube on the upper right).
So one of the in-game achievements is to take power over 100 cities. There are less than 100 cities in the game, and it looks like you never lose them. Overall, a buggy, fairly disappointing game.
