Wow, seriously..?
I played a game straight from level 9 (second try). I was having a blast, because the game is actually pretty fun.
I died at floor 82, I had lots of awesome gear (artifacts and stats). Now I have to restart from floor 9 again (since I played without using wings since then), and all I have is the crummy gear I had when I started back then. My stats are gone as well.
Not cool mr.gamemaker-person-type... Not cool.
When I first started playing this game, the initial levels were extremely tough to navigate. This was of course due to the lack of good instructions on how to play the darn game.
Now, a few weeks later, I finally finished up a (rather messy, but functional) 8-bit adressable SRAM, and I'm loving this game. You get used to the controls, and when you figure out what the parts DO (by experimenting, or looking at other people's solutions) you will find that this game offers alot of fun and complex puzzles. I even found this game to be somewhat educational towards understanding electronics around you (maybe even somewhat how computers work).
I would love to see this kind of game implemented as a feature on the smaller scale where you have to combine smaller parts of electronics on a larger piece of machinery.
