Its a nice game, altough there is a little problem...some dude from Great Sea keeps casting Mana leak, it takes away 12 mana and i can only regenerate 5 mana so this makes this battle pretty much impossible to beat...
About that Item disappearing, I think it only happens to the fairies and I think that u loose them if they are in ur inventory and exit the game, when u load it they disappear wich is really annoying, I lost the Berzerker and the P.Shield fairy and that sux....
Put a God damn save crystal in the room in wich the fire crystal is srsly for ffs....I spent 1 hour to kill the fire guardian and then the "World Saviours" come in and kill me, this has to be some kinda of fuking joke man, srsly......
I've got a suggestion, wich would help alot of ppl: Before u enter the room in wich Gope is in(Water Temple) put an npc there wich would put the switches back to normal (like they were b4 u entered that place).It would hepl alot of ppl, because they've messed up the puzzle, and cant get it back to normal (me, for an example....)....So please if it would be possible, then do it! x_x
