I don't buy a divinity edge: dragon shows up day 9.
I keep a divinity edge on me at all times after day 10: GO TO DAY 20 WITH NO DRAGON
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
My tips to kill the dragon are: The dragon show up around day 10,
Armor upgrades get your life full so is usually better than the elixir (you can only use itens in battle)
if you have 2 swords or 2 armors in the screen when you buy the first one the second remain the same price (make sure you have lifespan to do it before you try)
lifespan 28% you should restore it as soon as possible if there is no other shrine on nexts or you will probably fade out.
Around day 8, 9 buy a Divine Edge and use it against the dragon it will probably be 1 hit Kill ;) hope it helps

Dragon appear in day 13>14,15... Get always 500G if a gold voucher appear (if you use this item when kill a monster it drop 1000% more gold!). Upgrade your armor for HEAL you instead buy elixir. When reach day 13 buy the special sword for 200G and keep it for the dragon. Have fun!

Actually, the initial money is just fine, IMO. The trick is to manage your money until you buy a gold voucher, then you can spend all your money on everything forever, since you get 10 or 100 times the usual money from the mob you use it on (don't exactly know).
Also, if you feel like there's a dragon coming on, be sure to keep a Divine Edge in stock (you can always heal up with armory updates, until you max them out that is), so you can one-shot him with 100 times the damage. Although that is up to luck with the stores and prediction I guess...
Hope this helps.
As for the game, it's a masterpiece, and really fun to play once you know how to handle the different shops/how to evaluate your survival chances on random monsters. ("Those damn wolves, always hitting twice...")
Can't wait for the sequel!

Something useful for next time: Once you have max armor and sword, those shops do nothing at all. Consider still allowing purchase of armor as it replenishes health - or swapping those shops for potion shops or the ones that replenish soul.

Some tips: when you change your consumable item (divine's edge, elixir, gold ticket) it should activate the previous item's effect. This way, if you buy a gold ticket over your elixir you heal yourself.
Also, the dragon enemy should have a different icon (maybe a red dragon icon instead of gold dragon)

Here it is some advice:
- Armor upgragrades are like a potion, when you upgrade your armor your life restores so is better to save the gold and use it only when you are in pretty bad shape.
- You can only carry 1 item and 1 item only (divine edge/potion/goldden ticket), if you buy any of those 3 having one already in the inventory, it
will replace the one you already have.
- Save the divine edge for the dragon or to kill a strong enemy when shit hits the fan :V
- Make sure to save some extra gold toextend your life span :I

After you get max level armor, the armor shop closes and doesn't allow you to buy from it anymore so you can't use them to heal even if you have enough money. I think they should still be open for you to purchase heals after reaching max armor level. Otherwise, solid game.

Man... so close. But still a miss.
As stated before;
1. Game is too random. Unlucky streak of shops kills you.
2. XP gained at the scorecount should give ya some perks ingame in form of upgrades or wotnots.
3. The lifespan-bar is annoying since it takes money from the other upgrades.
4. The increase for upgrades kills me combined with nr. 3. ( := X
5. Getting hit 3 or 4 times in a row by a wolf hurts xtra much when you dont retaliate.
But, when all said and done the concept you've got going here have potential for greatness. Good work allthought I found it extremely annoying in the long run :)

It seems like money's too hard to come by. Enemies don't drop more loot as you progress so the increasing prices becomes too much, even for sunshrines. Maybe reduce the prices of things a little? Also, what if there's an upgrade system for every time you make a run? For example, you can earn points during your first run that can upgrade stuff like attack speed and attack strength, hp bar size, etc. for the next run. This means every run you make you get a little better and go a little farther.

Good game, but needs the following:
1)The random attack element to the battles should be balanced or removed. Watching yourself get hit 5 times to an enemy that only takes 2 to kill is rather annoying/frustrating.
2)A bonus from leveling up besides a score multiplier.
3)Dragon needs to be nerfed. Impossible to kill without a Divine Edge.
4)Either the dragon should be at a set interval, or there should be an indication to how many more events are remaining until the dragon fight when it's drawing near.
5)There should be some way to level your life span stat, whether it be through leveling up as others suggested or through a purchasable item (perhaps even tie it to the Soulshrine).
6)Days should advance slower when not in a battle event. Enemies shouldn't be getting stronger that fast while I'm stuck in a chain of shop events that I can't afford.

Way too much luck involved. I had great armor, a great weapon, full health and an elixir, but the dragon totally owned me.
What the hell is the point in playing over and over if you don't get any permanent bonuses?

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 :)
