Thing I don't enjoy about these type of games, is they don't level up the hero equal to the critters they're supposed to kill, even with upgraded armor, hats, clothes, etc. It's frustrating and dull. There needs to be "do-able" levels.

I just finished the game and it was so much fun, however, I never got to beat the dust dragon, I would spend forever seeing nothing but miss and block for the both of us, so I don;t know if it was supposed to be impossible to touch him, if it was a glitch in loading because of my crumby computer, or because 30-40 just wasn't enough dex to hit him. however despite that one frustration, this was an amazing game. keep up the good work.

while playing the game ive noticed several comments from the movie mouse hunt. i think whoever made the game wathed that movie. for instance "cheese tires them out they need fruit for energy" and mmany other such comments.

Oh man. When I met up with Fleen by the group of people hunting down the wizard, I couldn't believe I was allowed to reset my stats. The second I chose that option, I went to my Statistics and had at it...until suddenly I realized I was going into the negative with my skill points and here I am with a character I can endlessly power up. AND the stats stayed. This is ridiculous how it's broken, but I'm sure as hell not complaining for now! Plus up to let everyone know! :P

I followed knightace's suggestion. At level 16 with 53 points in DEX, everything is a miss from my assailants.
Although there was a point, level 10?, where my DEX was not high enough to block the attacks. So if that happens, just level up on lower level mobs before proceeding further.

well made game. super-easy w/ the dex trick. battle sequences slow. some other problems. it got to the point where it was just too boring. i like the descriptions, characters, monsters, dialogue, etc. must've taken a lot of work. overall 4/5.

Interesting game with good potential. However, it is need of serious balancing, mainly due to the dexterity trick. Also, implementing the Kong API would have been nice...

I am quite sure that a huge amount of gold dissapeared after I turned in the Mana Beast quest.
Srsly, I came out of the woods with lots of kills' worth of gold, turned in the quest, went to Fleen... And had 51 gold.

Why are you only allowed to use one of the items at a time? It would be better if you could use them all at once. Still great game.

As there are no inn later in the game, you should work your potion prices a bit... 20MP for a 10 gold potion, and 60MP for a 40 gold potion? Then the 40 gold one doesn't have any utility, i just have to buy multiple 10gold ones...

I really love this game. I've always liked text adventures but have had trouble finding them these days.
I found a glitch where I was leveling up and it let me go into negative available skill points. I accidentally got to -5 before I noticed. I don't know what caused it or anything, but I just want to let people know that it's there.

well game play was fun but was distracted from game by all the firefly, babylon 5 and galaxy quest quotes after all they are sci-fi not fantasy okay not really the quotes fit the game

If I have any problem with this game, it would be that the "continue" option was somewhat misleading. Usually Continue means to continue a previously saved game, so I clicked it without a second thought and BAM prior saved game was deleted. Should be "New" and "Load" or "continue" and New game" or something. 4/5

@Tiberiumshox: You may have noticed that the path continues on to the east. Keep going that way (maybe after going back and resting at the inn) to continue the quest chain.

I'd like to type out the things I do and what I look at and use all five senses and interact more with my surroundings. That's what makes up a good text-based game. Not this. This is an RPG with words instead of graphics. It was so boring. 2/5

@ Tiberiumshox: walk to the lower right corner of the goblin camp and enter the undead owlbear woods. After you kill the boss there, you'll find the NPC for the next quest. Ironically enough, it is the one quest you can never finish, because it asks you to kill the wizard (end boss), which never counts since the game ends :P In any case, I went back to town at LV26, my final opinion is that you should start out with DEX/STR and a bit of VIT, and switch to INT with a bit of VIT and 11 LUK when you find Flynn and the Arturians, as the triple and quad magic combos deal about 300 and 500 damage respectively...in a second :D Ofc use of quad combo not recommended for bosses since fireball sucks your MP dry.

Magic damage seems to be flawed, my 26 damage from searing blade kills a 40 HP gumdrop for example, happens with many monsters as well. Also, the magic damage from the other spells is rather low for the MP they cost: one bolt deals about 2.2 times the damage of searing blade while costing 5 times as much mana. Normally I wouldn't really mind because in combat you get to use both of them for added damage, but with mana regen being almost non-existant, it became an issue late-game.
P.S: Love the fact that you can re-train for free at Flynn's!!!

Spamming dex is easy Spamming int is easy Spamming str is kinda hard Spamming Vitality for whole game is hard... Vote this up and tell everyone what to add

Has anyone else had the issue with not being able to equip the relics? I'll click on them, but none of them will equip for me except the last one..

For those complaining about a lack of an inn, I suggest you use mend in combination with the mana regeneration stone, or just use the mana regeneration stone and then the hit point regeneration stone when you find it.

at least give us asdw movement in addition to arrow keys—also, giving hotkeys to 1) spells, 2) potions, 3) talking to NPC A, B, and C. If you simply don't want to/don't have the time to/can't decide what hotkeys go where, make a Menu where we can designate our own hotkeys. Also—seriously—we don't get full heal on level up? at least let us heal a small amount of HP/SP without those relics. Other than this stuff...i think this is a great and fun game :)

sign of some kind of rooting animal scan be seen here.
LOL
This typo is quite funny
By the way, this is an excellent game. 5/5
