If I were you, I would have at least changed what the dude that follows you says from the original game. At least make it doubtable that this is a ripoff.
If your dudes aren't going where you want them, or are 'bouncing' back and forth between random places, then it's time to redesign your dungeon. Even if it means having to skip a few enemies or treasure.
Definitely need either more exp between exp levels or more than 5 of them. I don't see why the later shields have an exp bonus because you're already max level by the beginning of world 2.
Just because it's a game doesn't mean it can't be intellectual or thought-provoking. And being a wimp has nothing to do with it - If you are too scared to let your own feelings be heard and realized then YOU are the wimp. That said.. What a great game...
You know, having Kreds and having to buy parts of the game that have always been and SHOULD still be free just drives people away. Why should I pay my hard-earned money for your gimmicky in-game items when I can play another game and unlock all the content by playing it? Hmm?
Good game and fun, but once it glitches and you can spam whatever spells you want without needing any gem power, it gets a little dull just destroying your enemies with typhoons and meteors every cooldown.
