Idle Portal Guardian

this really needs a way to speed up the waves

Thanks a lot for the updates, each one has made this a better game - I am happy with the auto resurrect, too. I saw someone else mention the "corpses absorb one arrow" bug which crops up regularly, I also noticed it happened gradually, as the game gets slower the longer it runs. Also, the smaller enemies (little green dudes) do it first, and then all other enemy models also do it. I hope this helps you fix it - thanks for all the hard work!

wish there was a fast forward for the lower levels.

They are painfully slow after you resurrect.

Marksmanship is by far the best skill tree to invest in, especially with how hard it is to get access to the second/third/fourth layers. Scavenger is much stronger than survival as well, but still far weaker than marksmanship. The balance in these is not that good.

Similarly, with aspects, wolf is the only one that's really worth investing in after you get a decent amount of base damage (before that undead is better).

The best balance is on the crafting system, with arrow crafting being pretty decent, getting slightly worse as you get further, but always solid, and jewel crafting being amazing at all times. however, again the defensive option is kind of mediocre.

there could also be more depth to the game, currently, it's just 1 layer of depth with levelling up, which only affects the 'perks' and aspects.

This isn't an idle game. You have to interact with it to start a new run every time you die.
