Get Me Out Of Here Help.
I finally got through with 1200 Idols. I had to use Gold Rush, Gold Boon, and Gold Windfall, and I had to watch for those chests that possibly appeared. The timer keeps ticking even when the game is paused (like opening a chest), so don't do it! Emo was in the middle of my lineup, with everyone either boosting him, or giving me gold. Emo is my most powerful -- so he works best for me as a lone big guy. Good luck, and please give this a + if you use it/like it so that others can see it too.
The pause timer that shows up when you're on things like the chest opening screen or other pieces of UI is just there so that you don't feel pressure to click through something quickly in case there's a chance your Crusaders could die while you are reading, and so that if you go away from the keyboard, the game will continue to play once the timer runs out, and not be sitting on that screen if you're gone for hours. You can turn it off in the Settings menu if you wish.
Congratulations on beating Get Me Out of Here. :)
Can you have an option to slow down the words that come off items when you hover over them? Like I noticed the "candy underwear" but it was very hard to read it with other words right on top and it disappearing so fast. I think those would be fun to read!
Thank you for the feedback. If monsters drop an item on an area, it's usually listed in the quest text. Otherwise it's just the gold or the event currency. I will add your request to the player suggestion list to consider.
Each Idol provides a 3% DPS increase and 1% Gold Bonus increase. The Idols are additive with each other. As you gain more Idols, your progress goes faster, especially when you start collecting them.
