Game's just fun - even if BORING...
I was waiting to gain control up until I turned Level 3..!!!
Then just found out that line:
"Make character. Watch it kill things." :D
OK, I made a mistake when mentioning Mana gain - I didn't need it.
Also, WHY do you rate me DOWN???
The game's cool!
Yesterday I was playing for HOURS with the MAX x75 multiplier in Endurance - thus gaining average of 200k per square!!! Or about 4-5 levels as I'm now around Level 470+ My max score ver is 750k!!! WOW!!!
This game is SUPERB!!!
I have a premium (well, I did NOT buy it, but let's keep that a secret...) - and as of NOW my SKILL stats are:
MAX (20 or 30):
Forge
Construction
Magnify
Dual gem
Mana gain
Wild gem
Recharge
Radiance
Readiness
Ritual
...AND...
Multiple damage
Chain hit
Also:
Focus = 118 (903%)
Replenish = 103 (100%)
Resonance = 66 (100%)
My strategy:
Using ONLY dual gems (multi and chain);
Typical formation - 1 tower surrounded by 8 amps (by X-ing the wild gem, you can build all 9 structures IMMEDIATELY!!!);
Usual stat raising order - Replenish, then Focus, only then Resonance (when I feel I have way too much mana already). :D
Again, the game's great - except for it being REALLY addicting...
Nice game, though a bit weird...
I also agree that lvling should give something useful, like better stats.
It took me some 3-4 games to get the point of it:
I first thought (as in usual games), that the upgrades actually STACK...
Well, now I know how to play. :D
