The game shows a lot of potential. Some things I would recommend are basically everything Creature71 mentioned. Also, perhaps the ability to change key controls and/or movement controls. WASD or Arrow Keys for movement as an example. Also, I would suggest an "Auto Tracking" Feature so that if I click up the stairs, my character will move around an obstacle and go up the stairs. As far as an idea in response to your comment of-"As for the Karma question - we'd love to hear your idea for a model which solves your problem while also putting food on our table. We need to eat." Perhaps a "Vanity Shop" Offering exclusive looks or familiars. If a change in the repetitiveness and grind is made, you will be able to establish a devoted base of players who would more then likely be more then willing to pay for vanity items. Allowing for a lowered cost in in game currency, while still giving you the developer, money to eat.

PS: Thank you for showing so much interest in my input, that is something i am very impressed with so far! Great devs always make a game better.

Yes the game is working again, however just keep in mind spirits/pets are useless. Also if this is your first time playing or if your character is lvl 15 or lower i would recommend playing on steam, the game runs better there.

I seem to be having a number of issues with rather long load times. I've cleared my browsing history and done what I can to try and remedy this, is the game meant to be played on IE or Chrome? Or is Firefox OK?
Long Load times = Over 3 minutes

Yay! I'm keeping xp when I disconnect now! :D (or at least 75% of the time... better than never... before I lost 4k xp once... in the lower levels too...)
yeah, we're aware there's a loading issue affecting some users. Fear not, we shall investigate and fix. We also have an installer at www.angry-red.com but you can't use it with your Kong details.

Swath of Destruction (lvl 4) skill's extra: Human Fireball doesn't work. Is it a bug? Or how it should work?
And does "Meteor Rain -> Magma Storm" work properly?

Another little suggestion :) i find the combination tab + 123 no so user friendly. Wasn't easier just to make the standard 1-8 bar or at least 1-5 + tab, cant get used to it yet, sorry. :) Game rocks

Awesome game! And I've never seen so much feedback from a developer ever. Only thing I'd want is more description on skills...all it says is it increases with power/fortitude/skill
Weirdly Kong has actually limited the ammount of feedback we can give now :(((
Were we TOO awesome at it? The suggestion you gave has already been added to our "Suggestion Mountain" :)

I really really like this game. It's great. I'm just sitting here being a sickly person and this game made me feel just a little better. Thank you, I have found a new favorite game. I like the fact you can do a full screen mode, pretty epic. However, a suggestion, potions or something, to use while in battle to boost your health a wee bit. I've died a few times, wishing I had one. Other than that, fantabulous!!!

I agree with many others. Well done. Great graphics easy fun play. Sometimes tedious. a bit more random gen dungouns/instances would rock
Issue/Recommendations:
Timers - I would like to see some sort of timer on buffs that are perishable. ie. food/drinks/ pets.
Tool tips- do the stats, power fortitude, skill affect your character? or just your specials?
Hired hero - Would be nice if we had perhaps an offensive defensive setting. Something to keep the helper from rushing into the group of mubs that a skill based player is trying to pull in small groups.
Camera - movable?
Scaling - I did donate with the opening all areas, but otherwise stepping into a new area can be quite tough.
Bugs? - The poison arrow will kill a mob, and it will drop karma, but the mob will still be alive and attackable.
Not sure if this is due to server communication or something else.
Lots of great suggestions there and some that are already in the pipeline, such as more varied missions. Glad you're enjoying Akaneiro and keep your eye out for all the great new stuff when it comes :)))

This game syill seems to be very laggy, and for sure it's not my comp's fault... all other games run fine. And when I attack, there seems to be a time gap, which allows the monsters to hit me a good two three times...like wth?

The art is beautiful, like Arthur Rackham's. I hate the issue with loading and the cache, it's a deal breaker for me. I have an i7 Quad with 8 Gb RAM and a decent 1 Gb video card. Other processes killed and still this game chokes.

Could you implement modifier keys. To use for example shift+1/2/3, ctrl+1/2/3... or just bindable keys. Having to tab through 3 sets, makes it less efficient (at least for me).

Great game!! Love the artwork! But...during battle I can't drop any of my stuff in the bag. I always keep some of the weapons etc. from higher levels. But during play it's hard to check which of the gear you pick up is which level. And once my bag is full, I often find stuff that I would have preferred to the one I already picked up. Maybe a warning before the bag is full?!?! Or a feature to drop stuff even in battle.
Use the "Transmute" feature to convert items to Karma on the fly. Just keep in mind you'll get 50% less Karma for selling during a mission than if you sell at the market.

Some annoyances I run into after playing for hours on end; frost ring started glitching up since I have lots of visual effects on my equipment and I tend to draw big groups of enemies; animation does not show and the game lags like no tomorrow whenever I use it. Furthermore, why are the rare items out of stock? I saved up for some epic sword and now I can't buy it. I wonder what the reasoning behind that is. Also, chi mend is HEAVILY overpowered. I use it as an out on my second tab, with iron skin, thorns and frost ring on my first. Because that's a little more challenging and fun, however, I tried spamming chi mend and chi mend only and it's basically god mode - especially with medium armor. Seems a bit too much. But overall, still great game.

Even with that annoying lvl cap thing, this game deserves 5/5. I want to play with friends instead of bots. Maybe you can make raid-type thingy for us? It will be awesome!

The thing I love about this game most...is that everywhere you look, there's dead bodies.

Quick question: Would it be at all possible to re-texture the capes so that they don't hide the Hat item? I wouldn't mind so much but as soon as my character puts one on she goes from complete badass to Derp.

I'm having a problem with keyboard hotkeys! They either work only when I hold down they key for a couple seconds, or not at all.

I find myself getting pretty annoyed when Windows stay open ontop of other windows and fail to close. Other than that, pretty cool game. Fast paced RPG and that's what I like.Love that I can grind OR buy which makes this a truly free and worthwhile addition to Kongregate.

The hotkeys are a little awkward. Switching between 3 different sets just to use my 6 skills feels clunky and unnecessary. I hope you can just a row of hotkeys like you would see in most rpg UIs.

A beautiful game, i enjoy it! Variety in missions needs to be added, escort, raid, defend a structure perhaps? To keep it interesting :) My shop stopped working, it wont load. All vendors load, except the item vendor. I have to right click to unfreeze it.

A very good game in the basics in my opinion. Will be fun to see this go multi player. Some stuff tho, no money drops in the field (red stuff) its there/picks up but not added. Also and this could be me, but it seems that 14/15 armor drops aint heavy, im heavy equips user... About the ally's, they kinda seem to die real easy and iv tried, heavy equip users/type 3 lvls higher alot aswell. Anything to do about that?
Actually, it's just a UI bug. It looks like the karma you get in the field isn't added, but it is :) Phew... Not sure about the allies tho. But everything is getting tweaked and improved over time :)
