for the new players, in the first town there is a chest in one of the houses that has a lot of gold in it, then sell the wooden sword and buy the axe.

Some of the enemy designs are taken directly from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Gameboy). I'm sure Nintendo is completely OK with that...

this game has too many faults to list, so for that compared to all the games it shamefully apes to get me to continue playing (Pokemon, Zelda, etc), I give you this: the electronic equivalent of a massive, two-handed bird-flip. you deserve it.

Apparently the slimes are actually the octorok things. Just a tip for anyone stuck at the end because apparently this developer knows just as much about slime as they do about game balance.

When you're poisoned, you take 30+ damage, and it never wears off. When the enemies are poisoned, they take 4-5 damage, and it wears off eventually.

No wonder why it seems like you never get stronger. Leveling up your strength only increases your MAXIMUM attack, not minimum. So you could still occasionally do 3 damage early on, even with so many points on strength.

I have endured many horribly shitty games in order to get badges on Kongregate, but this game is the first time I've considered quitting before getting those horrible endurance badges. AWFUL balancing. I bet I'm not the only one who has been spending hours just staying in one place and spamming the J-button to kill enemies with a quadrillion HP. This is just a time consuming endurance test, not actually funny. And you might want to try not ripping off sprites from Zelda (an actual good game) next time you make something that is supposed to be remotely entertaining. Ugh! 1 star, and that's all you're ever getting from me for this game!

Seriously? In the last cave there are two staircases down. If you pick the left one, you get sent to the beginning of the cave. F*ck you game creator. That just wastes time.

OMG, the 12800 coins golden slayer is not a sword, it is a sworK! The sword mastery does not work on this piece of crap! ARGH!

Put all level up points into strength, and max student (20 points) right away. Next get a few points of gold up (you'll get stuck at a wall midgame and have to grind for gold to upgrade your weapon otherwise), and put the rest into whatever weapon you want to use, lastly putting into it's subskill. A fair warning: The game is much longer grind than the progress indicator will make you think early. All this game really needs most is to have every enemy have it's hp cut to 1/3 of it's original value and it would flow so much better.

So wtf do I do now? I have no active quest and can't remember what I was supposed to do after learning to swim. Some kinda pointers of which way to go would be nice.

Yesterday I reached the final boss and finished the quest, but the game didn't end. So I consulted a walkthrough on youtube and noticed: not only should the game indeed have ended at that point, but the guy playing had very similar exp and the same weapon ... but he had TWICE as much HP and dealt TWICE the damage! Did the dev really NERVE the game after people were already complaining about the balance??? If that's true I'd seriously consider to give 1 star just because of that >:(

When i opened the game, i didn't understand why the hardest achievement was to finish the game.
When i was 40% done with the game, i understood why.

Wow, first time this has happened to me. I started playing this game before it got badges, so all I had to do was start playing and got the "Killing in the Name Badge" for the BotD.

@NW9k - On top of that, he made sure to specify HUMAN eyes. Because, as we all know, crab eyes or slime eyes would be barbaric...

So water damages you. I say that as I walked into it 5 times by holding down at the start and never made it to a save.

Charming and fun. Old school gameplay but not overly frustrating. A couple of times I hit a little bug where I couldn't get my guy to stop walking in a particular direction, but overall a nice little game.

Sound settings should be consistent from menu, or from save file. My ears are now bleeding and the midi music just played right over the top of some fire kpop mix

Goddamn, this game just starts falling apart near the end. I'm not even talking bout the poor balance in enemy hp or insanely overpowered poison, no, there's spots where you can go to a screen transition and end up inside an object on the other side and just phase through it. I was able to completely skip the last locked gate and also swim out of the map, crashing the game. Without even trying, I've also somehow skipped the entire last dungeon. Apparently there's a hidden teleport spot at the entrance that brings you straight to the end. It's on the bottom-right of the the T-shaped blocks, directly at the entrance by the computer, in case you're wondering.

The Hard Badge of this game has 11,516 awarded, 166 less than today, Is a really irrelevant information but you know, maybe someone find this interesting =D

In the whole game just one type of enemy (the pale balding guy), in the last cave (Pandora's cave on Doom Island), moves too fast for the overall strongest weapon, the best axe (Zombie Ripper) - so take (also) the best sword to that last quest. And when leveling up ALWAYS increase strength (or almost - I also put 4 points in luck and noticed useful increase in finding hearts). 0 points in vitality required - I used +strength +vitality ring, and when that stopped being enough, started increasing natural armor skill (revealed after putting 3 points in swords), and got +12 strength ring instead. Yes, surprisingly, this game favors a "glass cannon" melee warrior.

When you have a manual for something you can invest a skill point in that action, namely pushing or swimming. Pushable stones can be pushed only once. If you mess up, simply move to another area and back, all stones are reset and all plants are regrown. Any unslain monsters are back where they started and in full health. NEVER go anywhere without poison antidotes. You can save game in computer terminals. Oh, and stay away from water unless you can swim.

looks like i'm playing Zelda. sounds like i'm playing Pokemon. feels like i'm playing Neutopia. controls like i'm playing on a VCS. all of these things are good by themselves. together? not so much. ftr, skills are worthless: no matter how much i'm pumping into something for a bonus, i'm getting a whole lotta jumping jack squat.

getting the pushing skill and then not being able to use it to push barrels that are blocking you from the very next treasure chest you see is stupid as hell
