Uh, It seems that advanced judgement can give a victory from the level before the final boss to the final boss level, skipping the boss.
Yup that's a thing. At the time, no one was really using judgment so I put that in there. People caught on to how to use the skill well though and it remains a strong end game ability.

Didn't fight the last boss because i used Judgement on the last but one mob and it just told me i won the game. Good semi-idler, would play again :D

Adv Execute with over 200 int on a skeleton is a bit broken also when you can do that was just messing around with it earlier and ended up fighting the last boss with over 650 str. Now i want to try that in an actual run and see if i can 1 shot the boss xP

when you go back to clear all the other stages to maximize the strength gain from a 3 piece fire set and end up with overly inflated stats for the last boss fight

Great game. I played it for several hours last night, and this morning and cleared the whole screen. I'm going back in to play more. Simple game style, with lots of features and functions. Love it.

Are you planning on updating the game anytime soon? I remember playing it when it was first released and I really enjoyed it so was just curious if there is any plans for updates in the future.
Thanks for checking back! I would like to revisit this one day but updates are not coming anytime soon as I'm working on the full version of a different game right now. I may be putting that game on Kong if it'll allow me to lol.

I may be missing it, but is there a pause option?
I am playing while working and sometimes have to just walk away from the game.
Otherwise this was a great game, thank you for sharing it with the community.

How to get sub-60-sec runs: 1. Unlock everything. 2. Skills: Berserk, Hail and Judgement. 3. Go on a run, but don't finish. stay on the second to last stage, max out on equipment; focus on INT and WIS. work on your highest total stats record (2 items of water (150%Int to get over 200 int (to spam judgement)). 2 earth, 2 wind (AGI und END affected by berserk and will rise really high.)
4. when your stats on WIS are around 120 and INT around 220, finish your run. you should have 2 awesome items carried over. 5. start your run with unleashing all skills at once. get 2 water items asap and focus on building up INT. go all the way on top. make sure, your WIS is high enough so you have only one enemy per stage. hit your second judgement on enchanted everglades 5, to skip Jinxed jungle 1. now, with a bit of luck, you can get INT over 200 in the odd oasis and spam judgement until the end. just make sure your WIS is over 80 at this point and over 100 for undead utopia. good luck!
Ahhhh I was wondering about sub 60 runs (since someone asked not too long ago). I actually forgot about wardrobe farming - I should mention that to future folks. Thanks for the breakdown, that's some great stuff and much faster than my own records!

too bad the highscores are so unreliable, I made a blessed speedrun in 1:30 with fire3/wind3, I'd really like to compare it with the fastest possible
I BELIEVE the fastest seemingly-legit run was something like 0:52. I don't remember where I saw it (either Kong or Armor Games comment) but it was screenshotted with a detailed strategy. 1:30 is incredibly fast though and I think my personal best was around 1:50. Awesome work :)

i really think the best loadout is 2 fire and wind for dps and 2 earth so you dont die, because it destroys early parts and still has dps for later stages even if u dont get better gear to switch out to
I was hoping some people would try the 2-2-2 approach. The 4-set bonuses are quite strong but mixing and matching has its uses too. Thanks for playing :)

It really was funny to slowly become stronk enough to finish the game, and then try to do all zones before killing the boss/kill the boss as fast as possible. People are saying fire set is broken, but Earth and wind are also pretty good - earth allows adv. Reflect to really shine in the end, for slower games, and wind just makes strenght a lot more irrelevant. I don't believe water is as broken, but being able to spam Judgement is pretty good.
Good observations - the strength of stats and sets all depends on how far you are really. Fire has a spike near endgame when you have the power and speed to clear lots of stages, but early on that's not possible, nor is it useful for speedruns since you don't want to spend too much time farming.

I think you might want to consider that Fire is cracked. I just beat the game without ever touching Knights Knoll (Luck as final unlock), Pitfiend's Playground (Armory Slot +1 final unlock), Tormented Tower (Armory Slot +1 final unlock), or really Manic Marshes (Reflect final unlock) [Can send screenshot to verify if the Dev is that curious], with an end time of 7 minutes, 17 seconds.
No screenshot needed, that's a solid run :) I wanted to leave in some strong strategies for players that can figure it out, and it sounds like you wielded Fire perfectly. Great job!
Np thanks for the feedback :) The game is loot-centric so I wanted to explore and play around with as many loot decision stuff as I could fit in since the combat is simple.

oh balls. i was focusing on clearing stages near the end for the stats/unlocks. Didn't realise until the congrats screen that i reached the boss... and killed it...
Build: enuf INT for 50% cooldown so that you have continous berserk and hail for clearing the mob stages. Items i monkey brain. At beginning - anything that gave str/AGI/INT and end game monkey brain for anything that gave STR/END. I was using judgement as well since it works on those pesky skeletons that take no dmg from skills >.>

A really great Game.
Played in all in one sitting and it was great.
Felt really achieved when i finally completed it.
On the first look it seem simple but gets kind of complex towards the End and the Routing of which powerups to get.
Enjoyed it very much and put it into my Fav's on this Site. :D
I'm glad you picked up on that, that was the sort of gameplay I was going for where you have to decided which route to go down and with what strategy. I hoped to bring something new to the table and I'm glad you liked it :)

wow when you get 2 advanced slots its GG you win. Just go for 3 fire items and then get 2 water. Stats dont matter :P i beat game with 2star items. Focus on Int stat and take berserk and shield. Berserk never loose stats if you cast again during uptime. and shield advanced make CD on other skills reset. If you just have some int that lower shield cd under 1minute then you can perma cast berserk for insane agi/end and just steamroll game

I didn't think I liked this game, but I played it again for the badge of the day. OMG. I guess I didn't give this game the change to impress me! The learning curve is steep, but after several plays, I started to get the hang of it. Well worth playing many, many times! If you think you don't like this game, just keep playing it. You will learn to love it, like I did.
Thanks that's a great review :) There's a lot of new ideas here and the tutorial is not perfect so it's totally understandable to gloss over it. I'm glad you stuck around, I had a lot of fun trying out some wild stuff and it sounds like you got what I was going after!

Relatively short but actually enjoyable I must say. It always feels good to have a sense of consistency in terms of progress instead of rewarding the player with stupidly small improvements every run like most of the games nowdays do. I wouldn't mind seeing more content put into the game in the future just to expand the whole experience but, in any case, Im just glad I played it. Great job in both the gameplay and the art style, that was fun.

Oooh yeh! So glad this game still works! I was worried thinking it was a flash game! Saw someone asking for a mobile version, I would love it too, but I understand you're focusing on new stuff. Good luck with your new projects!
When I started doing this last year, I honestly thought it would take a few failed games before I found something worthwhile. While I don't exactly have total hits under my belt, they've all been received much better than I expected so now I'm scrambling to complete some and release them. I've been working pretty hard at it and thanks for understanding!
