Armor shrines should become healing stations when you max out armor. Otherwise it becomes a useless building and the only way to heal is elixir.

Hands down one of the best games I've ever played. However, sometimes it puts me in very moral decisions - I must choose between life or money (when Im running low on HP and before me are armory, voucher and monster, while I have around 500g)

An interesting concept, but with no ability to increase your character's core strength, running into a dragon, especially without even having been given a chance to purchase a Divine Edge just feels like a slap in the face as a player. I liked this game, but if it is given some touch-ups, I can see myself loving it.

Don't Upgrade at first. Leave your first elixer alone in your bag. When your health gets low, buy some armor. Because it fully restores your health brings up your max Hp, and increases your defense.

Addicting, but can get boring easily, and it is true that it focuses a lot more on luck than strategy, which is a common concept that can easily ruin a game if it is not balanced. Needs work, but is fun for what it is.

Very basic tip, but one which probably bears repeating. Buying Armour heals you. Don't just buy armour willy-nilly. Save your money for weapons/potions/life extension. The only time you want to buy armour is if you ran out of potions, and the next enemy will probably kill you in 4 hits(always budget a minimum of 4 attacks from the enemy, and assume that he will hit 5-10% harder than the last enemy).

I liked the game. But ther's too much randomness, everything seems to be based on luck. Asides from the HP nothing much seems to be changed by what armor or weapon you have equipped. It really doesn't matter if youre a level 1 or a level 50, you don't get faster, stronger or anything. I managed to beat the dragon without the divine edge but it was pretty much luck cause dunno why I got 3 attacks in a row. Gold vouchers sometimes appears a lot, sometimes they don't appear at all. I was at 60% completion when I decided to give up. If there's a sequel I hope this comment can help in anything to make the game better. But anyways, great job, nice game mates. keep up the good work

Top tip: buying armour heals you, making timing it vital to survival.
A nice idea, but at the moment there's too much luck here, not enough meaningful choices, and no gain from repeat plays.

stupid difficulty. the last enemys in front of the dragon hit with around 300-400dmg and the dragon does 1300...horrible!

First dragon: Cool, I saved that divine blade.
Then a Potion shop *picks up a potion*.
Suddenly, Second dragon: Sweet god, can I make it?
Uses potion. Nearly makes it.
Soulshrine's next then another combat.
Third dragon in a row: FFFFFUUUUU-

am sad :( bought a potion, while i was holding one, hoping it would use it, than buy, sadly it just buys and throws out the old one :/ possible to change?

I seem to find dragons pretty often and mostly it's without even a chance to buy the item I need to kill them. The gold is too hard to come by, often not giving you a chance to progress far due to lack of health and/or upgraded equipment. It's a bit too reliant on luck, specially without a feature to continue with your character upgraded or at least with extra money based on your previous score.

Got it and survived until the twentythird day. But there have to be more divine edge stores and elixir shops as long you can't survive without them when you are fully upgraded. more upgrades, and different kinds of armor would also be a great solution.

great game, but tha randomness is a bit.... overwelming, low on health, 2 monsters coming up, no elixers, and only soulshrines, not very fun.. but its a nice lil game to pass the time, keep woking on it it might be a great game!! 3/5 stars

also, perhaps for leveling up you gain a partial increase in HP, ATK, starting gold and gold gain. It would definitely make the game more interesting.

I think there should be another way to make money- like come across a market- or some kind of work place spending 10% of your lifespan for 100g or something :)

It's an interesting game, the mechanic is pretty original and quite fun. However the luck factor is too important in the gameplay to let the player enjoy the game fully: for example i had a game in which i didn't have any armor upgrade until day 4 (needless to say i died before reaching the first).
Sometimes the RNG makes this game frustrating, since it feels a lot like many card solitaires: it isn't rare that there simply isn't a way to win, making it a frustrating loss of time.
To sum it up, the game is quite well done: good graphic, very nice music, good animations, very interesting concept, and no bugs so far, with the obvious exception of the discriminating luck, which i don't count as a bug but as a failure in balancing the game correctly (the only major fault i found).

This game is too roguelike. It's entirely random whether you'll make it far enough to even reach a dragon. Not controlling any of the combat in the game makes it dependent on the events that you get.

first goal to get is gold voucher instead of upgrades :3
also get ready for one elixir for survive and prepare to buy the gold voucher or upgrade your armor when your hp reach 200 or less depend the enemy dmg :3
also upgrade your weapon/armor when you have 500++ gold and 2 or more bladesmith/armorsmith in next move :3
also you must buy divine edge on day 10/11 to prepare fight the dragon or you can maximize your weapon and armor upgrade before meet the dragon and use elixir at good timing(elixir heal full health) :3
also you must restore your lifespan on soulshrine when ur lifespan meet 23% or less. you musn't restore when the lifespan still on 30% or more, the soulshrine will come again :3
that's all my suggestion for you all fella ~ :)

The Golden Ticket is the key to the game! Get one and use it on your battle to gain 1000% of your normal gold reward for beating that monster and the rest of it should be easy! I maxed out my armour before I got to the dragon and with my elixir I beat the dragon! If it interests you I also had a lvl 4 sword at the time.

The Hard Badge is easy IF you know how to play the game right, and a tiny bit of luck. You need to save get a Gold Voucher, which costs 500 Gold, near the beginning (which is the luck part.) You then use it on the next enemy, and then you will get a lot of gold, and can buy all the weapons you come across, spending Gold at Armor Shops and Soulshrines as needed, and buying a Divine Edge by Day 10. You can then use the Divine Edge as soon as the dragon appears on the screen, and then you will OHKO him. Once I figured this out, especially the Gold Voucher, this impossible difficulty badge became very easy. Hope this helps other people.

To get the highest scores possible, you must buy a gold ticket asap. It costs $500, but it will give you a huge amount of gold from killing even the weakest of enemies. Once you've done that, just keep rebuying the tickets as needed to snowball your cash and max your stuff. Of course, luck still plays a factor in your score as well.

There is nothing worse than making it all the way to day 15 and never seeing a dragon through your last 7 playthroughs and having to waste your divine edge on a golem that's one hit away from killing you and then having the next enemy be a dragon you slaughters you....

I think the game concept of 'making decisions' would be more satisfying if we understood what was going on. What do the days do? What causes upgrades to change in price? How does the frequency of the shrines scale?
Currently I feel like most of my decisions are totally blind, which robs them of the potential engagement.

Pure luck based game, you can spend years playing it and get trashed everytime or you can beat it in less than 10 minutes and forget about it.

OK...after about 30 runs. You have a very good game here that is completley and utterly ruined by the fact that it is PURE LUCK. It is just insane you can only hold one item. You don't get much gold, items are expensive, enemies do way too much damage, having both a hp bar that you have no control over AND a lifespan that constantly goes down, shrines get more expensive, divine edge shops are rare and the chances of having high HP, high lifespan AND a divine edge are ludacris. It's a great great concept but between being so hard and entirley luck based...you need to fix a lot.

Other gameplay advice :
- The dragon should have a different symbol on the action line than regular monsters. This is extremely important, because this way the player can't be taken by surprise.
- I would make the action line longer. Perhaps one more symbol longer. And dump unnecessary sequences. For example, dump the double potion shops, make it only one shop.
Seriously with a little tinkering it can become a great game, so keep up the good work!
P.S : I hate the 1000 character limit -_-

a different icon for dragons would be nice so we can grab an elixir or divine edge if you're lucky and have at least one of those stores before the fight

ooo and some ideas for a sequel: dynamic leveling system when game freeze and u have to choose from one of two/ three random selected perks(upgradable) out of total X perks like: faster running, scavenger (more gold from monsters), experienced fighter (reduce chance for oponents to hit u multiple times), lucky (when monster is about to perform deathblow chance to skip the current fight), chance to block, stun, crit, evasion bla bla bla (well just that one idea :D)

Great Game but after day 10 the monsters getting a little bit overpowered... had a wolf that made over 800 damage and it attacked 3 times *ouch* as a tip for the developer there should be a timebar there you can see then you will attack and then the monsters attack so you can use the potion on the right time! also for all Protip #16 This game doesn't suck!

using level 10 armor and level 10 weapon can kill dragon without divine edge, so relax on find that divine edge and golden ticket is MUST BUY

MY TIPS: 1) Only buy things you'll need in the long run. Buy a potion if you need to because you have super low health and your gonna be battling a creature, but if not, always get armor (if you can afford) and only when your below a quarter of your hp (unless you don't see another one in range). 2) Save your money for a gold voucher, always have over 500 gold so you can afford it, it's the best way to get money and can get you to max wep/armor easily. 3) After getting the gold voucher, use it on the first creature, and buy everything except for potion (unless you need it) until you max. 4) Always keep a divine edge. You will need it to kill any dragon as it is pretty much impossible to kill it even with maxed out gear. 5) ALWAYS revive your lifespan, UNLESS, you see another shrine that you can reach before you yourself reach 0%.
Extra Tip: Just remember to use the thing that shows you what will happen next. It is vital to saving your gold, and playing the game well.

Apparently dragons can appear as early as day 8?! Also worth noting that the dragon's damage seems to be dependent on the day, so how well-equipped you are RELATIVE TO THE DAY is probably the determining factor. Which is to say, yeah, it probably is possible to get into a situation where being completely upgraded isn't enough (but it would have to be like day 16 or something)
