Great puzzle! I went for the good ending so did a bit of grinding. The puzzle gameplay is great, a few notes on side things: the game wanted a hardcore from the beginning, because otherwise the Right Way is indeed to grind a few levels until combat is meaningless, which should be acceptable but not give the best results, on account of skipping half the puzzle. Other bit is the the ending is kinda anticlimatic after all the work you put in. They game would be improved by a little victory movie. Other than that, great job! Tempted to figure how to path out hardcore...

the good ending is real easy to get, macro yourself in lower floors to max level and you only have to worry about end boss which requires one or 2 potions

For some reason the game won't load, and instead on the screen I see a message saying "This site can't be reached"... But nothing else on kong is wrong.

nice little game!
it would be perhaps cool if grinding was more controlled... like having and extra resource like water that would depeat each time you make move/change floor...

@Theanos: Yes, thank you. As I said in my last comment, "OK, it took FOREVER, but I FINALLY managed to get the last purple skull and got out. Fine, I'm a ghost. At least I'm done with the game! 3/5 because it was fun at first, but very quickly became incredibly tedious!" I did manage to complete everything and get out, but again, as I said, it was incredibly tedious. It started out fun, but by the time I managed to finish, I never wanted to play this again. It stopped being fun about halfway through.

Satai, you have to go back to sections you can break with the pickaxe and find additional items/locations. Without spoiling it, that's what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I got to the top level/floor and it's telling me I have to find yet another way out. I've been up and down all the floors again and again and can't find any other way out. I have one purple skull and one red skull in my possession, 16 potions, a gold key, a silver key, a pickaxe, some kind of light thing I got from the 22nd floor, and the default sword. What else am I supposed to do, and where else am I supposed to go!?

OK, what is the point of the pieces of paper you collect? I don't see a way to access them once you have collected them, and there doesn't seem to be a way to use them.

Poorly designed game. Needing to use checkpoints if you kill too many monsters and purposedly killing yourself if you dont have pots

The game is good but if you think that you will make me go through that again without dying you sir are wrong. Good game nonetheless.
And you know what just to put salt on my wound I couldn’t find the last gosh darn torch to open the door for the sword, its the one on column closest to the door on the right. Any help would be appreciated :).

Oh no I'm a ghost :( you got me there dev, grinding is not the way to a happy ending... should have worded it better...

first time playing through: oh if I die I keep my progress *dies indiscriminately never healing, making battles trivial* 2nd time through: *oh Im short on health/potions, grinds on rats for until I am 3 levels ahead of curve, making battles trivial*. While I found the puzzles and collectibles fun I think the experience and battle mechanics need to be completely reworked, probably the checkpoint system too

Last purple skull: Middle of floor 39 - staircase on floor 40 - and a hidden wall in the room with all the tables on floor 18.

The only thing I think I didnt figure out is how to get rid of boulders, there is a few places, for example 2 potions behind them, is it possible or just teasing?

Anyone noticed that on floor 6, you don't have to open the door and fight the spider to get the key, you can walkthrough the wall into that little room to the left? Awesome little detail for optimizing/speedrunning/cheating/whatever you want to do with it

i read the comments first before i played and tried so hard to get the good ending... needless to say, i was zooming head first at every enemy i saw before long...

i got to room -1 then died. I legit spend about an hour planning out the right order in killing enemies but i messed up somewhere

Tips for hardcore mode: 1) Never kill the same enemy twice unless you can one shot them. Althought I think this is inevitable once you reach the skeletons. 2) Don't overkill enemies (takes less than one shot to kill). 3) Kill as few blue skulls as possible until you get the pickaxe. 4) The sword in the torch room gives you 1xp per autokilled monsters, you MUST use it to farm levels or you won't be able to kill the old men.
