4 minute badge:
spawn into the game, and immediately press all four arrow keys and space, and spam all the numbers. Click the mute and quality buttons and the level area, while doing that you should hover over the hint button. Drag the scrollbar.
Begin walking all over the place and touching tiles, touching all four walls. Go to each number to discover them. Then, hit 301234543210 253142 and color every tile.
When getting the cemetery chieve, keep holding up and don't release while spamming death using the moving spikes. You can grind a lot of lives quickly this way. You will accidentally float up a lot, but don't release up and just fall back down in the gaps. This will also earn you the get off your seat chieve. This will also get you 7 corpses at the same time.
go to the very top, and fall all the way down. launch three elephants into the spike pit.
You have beaten the game in 4 minutes.
After some gameplay and packs, I've realized this is the exact same thing as World War II TCG, just reskinned. And with a few extra features. Even then, its pretty neat!
So many noobs here who can't seem to understand that SAVE RUNES mean that they SAVE YOUR GAME, not that they provide a checkpoint. If you die, you still have to start over.
It's called roguelike - a permadeath system.
the reason why you aren't getting the badge is because when you opened the other window, it disconnected you here, and so you need to reconnect before beating the game.
Something to keep in mind is that as you go further down the fuel tiers each tier is less efficient (total energy per dollar spent) than the previous tier, but ends up making the money faster.
I brought three magic pickaxes to the final boss. Used it to get past the crystal golem he summons, but then he said 'hah, you think you're clever!' and summoned an entire row of the bats. XD
Diary Entries (Part 1/8): DAY 1
THE FOOLS have no idea of the power in this! IDIOTS with their “morals”… degrading humanity to a worthless state with no concept of true knowledge. I will have to study on my own, in this cave. It is dark and cold, but empty and dry… I see a lot of potential here.
DAY 3
After exploring more of the cave I am becoming more pleased with this decision. There’s several natural creatures like rats and bats around to experiment with, and the farmer a few miles to the west has plenty of food in his fields for now.
Diary Entries (Part 3/8): DAY 12
Just as I expected! After a few failed attempts, I’ve refined the spell to utilize the soul of a rat to transform its bones into mostly pure gold substance. It’s like I hold the key to nature itself. Necromancy must hold so many more wonderful secrets…
DAY 25
Was attacked by the farmer today after he caught me stealing more squash. Knocked me down from behind and started screaming at me like I was some homeless teenager, with no idea I was armed. I sprang up and stabbed him with my dagger without thinking… I loaded his body in a wheelbarrow and took him back. I couldn’t resist… an actual human soul.
Diary Entries (Part 4/8): DAY 60
Over a month since my last entry… I’ve been very busy. The energy from the farmer’s soul has proven more powerful than I had imagined, I can shift the walls of the cave, create gold and silver tools from rock and dust, and use the corpses of existing creatures to conjure new ones loyal to me. I must get more somehow…
DAY 75
This gold and silver I’m able to create… worthless to me, but valuable to others. I think I can use their greed to my advantage… lure them in with riches. But how to make it not an obvious trap? I need to think more about this, and soon… I’ve almost used up all of the power from the farmer’s soul.
Diary Entries (Part 5/8): DAY 104
Everything is finally in place and already coming together! An enchantment on the cave to make it a treasure hunt of sorts, with an option of escape… but with the ultimate risk. The fools are willing to risk their lives for treasure, blinded by their greed. Just a simple message of a treasure cave in a nearby town and curiosity and word of mouth will take care of the rest.
DAY 160
It’s been a while since my last entry, but I need to reflect… Two. Two souls so far I’ve managed to reap from greedy explorers. They all died from creatures too… I didn’t even have to do it. It’s so perfect. I need to refine the enchantment on the cave so that it is self-sustaining… I want to spend my time studying and experimenting.
Diary Entries (Part 6/8): DAY 285
Finally I feel like writing another entry. Things were more than I could have hoped for for months… I’ve gotten at least 30 souls??? I don’t know… I’ve lost count. I’ve taken to conjuring newer more powerful creatures… decided to use the energy of one complete human soul to see what I could do and made an enormous spider… I’ve sent it to guard a heap of treasure.
YEAR 2, DAY ???
I’ve lost track of time, but it’s been at least a year since my last entry. The power of necromancy is incredible… I think somehow the potential of a creature is concentrated in the soul… which when extracted leads to immense power. Things are slowing down a bit though, I think I may actually be running out of explorers in this area? How to make the cave more accessible…
Diary Entries (Part 7/8): YEAR 3
Checkpoints! Every 10th level I cleared to allow people to do as they please… and it seems some have set up shop on these floors. It’s so perfect. It makes things a bit easier for adventurers, but still with plenty of challenge and valuables deeper into the cave. I’ve also noticed an inn built just outside the cave. Seems it’s a bit of a tourist attraction! HA!
YEAR 5
I’ve conjured a massive crystal to store extra souls since things are going so well. This power… I want to show people. I want to show them how wrong they were. I don’t know what, but I will be stockpiling souls for something big one day…
