There are Things which are not working, like the backwards shot, sometimes doesnt shoot at all. Another thing not working, at least for me, are the ADs to get new bow upgrade, i tried getting the bow on the first floor, the game crashed, after a reload the AD wasn't avaible anymore(but still counted after waiting for 30 sec).
The most annyoing thing on this game, is that it repeats too often, i mean you enter a room..."surprise, the doors are locked and a few enemies spawn"...i only played till floor 4, so i know of the graves spawning on floor 3, but it still doesnt feel any different. At some points you have to climb 2-3 rooms upwards, why not link them together and make it a "bullethell", or make some rooms special as the screen becomes black all 5-8 seconds and a new wave of enemies spawn, previously shown by red glowing eyes.
Another thing that i was really missing, Enemies hiding inside Bushes...Hidden Switches...just something what these bushes are good for exept gold...

Nice short game. Fluid movements, good graphics and sound, but it was a bit easy for me (first time play - hell mode with no deaths). Here are some perceptions/ideas:
Fairies are overpowered, they should be way harder to find or heal less, like 1/4 heart. There should be a wider selection of itens, including consumables as bombs (damage, slow etc.), a time hourglass, poison, side crossbows and so on. Take away the after-hit invencibility and make the shield consumable (perfect protection for like 2 secs). Mouse controls are way preferred for bullet hell parts over keyboard's. Add more bronze doors and rise the keys' price (I've ended up the game with a lot of 'em, since I bought them all for nothing).
There's a lot of potential here, and I'd love to see it explored. And, as many said: thanks for not being just one more idle game. 5/5

A game with good potential but way too easy to provide any kind of challenge, except when you play on standard. Strangely enough, that's the difficulty I found the most difficult. In hell mode, you can get way to many upgrade to find the game difficult. Still, the game was entertaining for a while. 3/5

The backwards shooting rate is different from the forwards shooting rate because that one is only upgraded by backwards shooting upgrades.

I hope this comment isn't too unhelpful, but I can't remember the last time I've had a game lag at all in all the years I've been on Kong. This game lagged and skipped around so much that it cause character death.

I felt like the upgrades were a bit mistuned. For example, I got the backwards crossbow upgrade several times, and the shot speed as well (with little, if any, discernible effect). I was able to buy hearts even when my health was full. And the fairies didn't seem to provide their promised effect. From a gameplay standpoint I felt like the levels were a little too short for the scale of the bosses, and the "intro" maps on each level were too difficult right off the bat... I'd prefer a more gentle introduction to each new mob introduction. (The maps also had a sameness to them... maybe lava pits or some other form of barrier to add dimension.)

Not sure if this works for all the bosses but when I was fighting the last boss I moved behind it (or on top of it?) and nothing could hurt me except when it moved then I got hurt.

do you realize that since zelda, each time you plant a tree we're forced to cut it! it's a really hard and long job!!

Was going well until the boss door in the Ghost Cave wouldn't unlock despite having the boss key. Fortunately, the save game works nicely, and refreshing & reloading fixed the stuck door.

Good game but serious memory leaking. By Jellyfish Lair i was tracking 3gb of ram in use for the game. 3 stars per usual until memory leaking is fixed. Will be 5 after.

I've got a problem if I want to wathc the advert to get the bow from the shop - the game is freezing. It happend first with adblock on, so i deactivatet it and refreshed the game but it freezed again.

Fricking AWESOME. Cute, funny, fast-moving, and some of the best and most appropriate music I've ever heard in *any* kind of game. Not only that, but the game, art and music are perfectly matched. 5/5 and a resounding 'Bravo!'

Somewhere between 'jigsaws', thegames8's umpteenth reskinned sequel, yet another 'escape' game, the latest 'idle-incremental-clicker', more tired P2W Engrish MMO shi- *ahem* -lite clones, and the collective output of Kong's absence of a quality filter lies this little gem. In-game advertising that yields a minor quality of gameplay upgrade? Present. Extortive demands for real money for glorified clickers masquerading as 'games' and thinking themselves so very, very subtle by plastering "BETA!" as an excuse? Absent. High-quality gaming mechanisms, graphics and soundtrack? Present. The only thing that was really overlooked was utilising Boasty Ghosty as the Endboss, having captured - possessed? - the handkerchief as a love interest.
"Your napkin is in another castle" would have made a lovely transition into the New Game+. 5/5, and my thanks for rescuing me from the Kong Games Drought of 2016.

I absolutely agree with some of the previous comments, I'm playing standard mode so I don't know if the zoom thing is default throughout all modes, but it's annoying. It's hard to plan out routes if you can't see the enemies.

Normal mode was incredibly easy. I just damage boosted every single room. Every time i took damage i went invincible for and literally just cleared out the room, and then Fairies re-healed me after the room. I was basically invincible the whole time. I mean the bow fires one way, but I can just facef-ck the enemy and get healed afterwards

The phantom boss bugged and stayed in place after his first teleportation trick. Also the backward arrows don't work when there's many monsters on screen.

Fun so far, but get rid of the zoom thing when you're in a locked room. The sudden change is a bit distracting, and I'd much prefer to keep tabs on the rest of the enemies.

I agree with others, find a way to change the upgrades. I collected everything, including the ad ones. I think I wasted at least a dozen upgrades. Good game overall though, nice bones and system.

One bug and some suggestions
Bug: - Ghost during his pattern when he was teleporting for some reason just completely stopped moving. I think it had something to do with my screen positioning (I was standing above the ghost and I didn't move since he last teleported?) not sure how to reproduce it but basically ghost stood still there.
suggestions:
- Game is way too easy, after first 2 levels or so, you can literally stand there tanking ALL the shots of the boss and survive and killing the enemy. There needs to be a bit more balance on this, took me 20 minutes to clear and no replayabilty but it's a smoothly made game on a good engine, just needs more challenge and variety.

Nice game. When the upgrade bar is full, it should move left when you get new ones. Like you lose the oldest one and get the new. But then chests should drop the item on map, so you could choose if you gonna get it or not.

The only problems I saw were the amount of times I got the upgrade for the backwards shooting capability. Also it seems like when I'm touching the upper wall the backwards shot slows down exponentially. Then I move and it goes back to normal. Other then that it is a great game!

So i'm assumeing the upgrades are random but I don't really need 5 of the guardians the heal you when you open a chest. espically since the only time you really get hit is on bosses. Also, I hate to say this, but there is too much money. I could always buy everything on every floor (even though I never needed to buy hearts thanks to all the fairies)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
you should really be able to find out what exactly the item is before you buy, because i thought the two heart pack increased your max health, but all it did was "restore" my already full health

i found it really annoying when the game zoomed-in after spawning all the mobs. i ended up trying to kill everyone before that happened, even at the expence of a bit of my health.

Very nifty game; it plays quite smoothly on my outdated PC (1.5GB RAM, WinXP, Athlon XP 2800+ CPU). Robert moves kind of almost too fast after a while, but with the amount of stuff on the screen, I guess he probably has to. Tip for killing last boss: whenever you take a hit, just park *in* the boss while you're invincible and let both your bows shoot him continually.
Thanks for the report, that's something I always worry about. The game has so many performance scaling things that aren't currently turned on because I have no way of testing them on lower end stuff. I'd be interested to know if you can turn on 4K textures, or when you refresh it always forces you back to SD.

This game is chock full of awesomeness! It's like baby Link on a sugar high, listening to Tenacious D inspired music, while running frantically around a few levels of pint sized dungeons. I'm loving it!

Last boss is pretty difficult when you move faster than the speed of sound. I think there's a point where I wish I could decline upgrades - haha
