About A Healer Only Lives Twice
About Game
All You Need Is Heal!
Monsters have cornered you in the dungeon corridors.
As a newly hired Priest, your duties are to use your magical abilities to
heal your comrade, a Knight on the front-line, and provide support during battle.
Will these two brave souls live to see the light of day again?
Game description
This is a command-select strategy game. Quickly choose the skill you need
in order to revive your ally's HP, raise the effectiveness of their abilities,
and dictate the flow of battle in real time.
Another important role is advising your ally which opponent they should attack next.
Gather items and resources for crafting. Level up to become stronger, as you fight
your way through increasingly strong monster tiers. Some monsters will surprise you
with their bizarre attacks!
However, you do not have time to defeat all your enemies. There is only a limited
number of torches for lighting up the dungeon, and you must make your way to the
next tier before they burn out. A red ball item which can be found at each tier will
help you save time. When you use it, the Knight will unleash a single, powerful
attack which will take care of all remaining enemies! Only, enemies defeated with
this attack will not relinquish any items or experience points. It takes more than
a day to become a professional Knight or Priest, after all.
・Annihilate the enemies with your Special attack! (EXP/items will be gone, too...)
Publisher's Voice
This game cannot be finished in a single playthrough.
You need to try your adventure many times to earn the points,
then upgrade the healer from "UPGRADE" of the top menu.
For the first few times, you might get confused what to do,
but after a couple of trials, now the real fight begins.
・An example of UPGRADE. Power the healer up while he is taking a nap.
Playable with any kind of Controller / Keyboard / Mouse.
(You can find the same manual in your steam game folder, or the "quick ref" link on the right of this page.)

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Badly random about bad luck easily ruining any run, always attacking last means you have no combat strategy most of the time. Something as simple as making your knight attack first so you can try to kill a target and negate the worst effects would instantly shift it from frustration that you have no way to actually strategize when one fire slime is about to burn your entire guy, or an ice slime freeze him all, to an instant feeling of strategy mattering more, and working around the enemy attacks. This only gets worse when there are scarecrow enemies which even with the shield spell up will instantly destroy a limb. for such a cute and basic premise, it's quite frustrating that such a little thing could've drastically changed it from a thumbs down to a thumbs up.
Stress inducing ahh game
Really entertaining short game! It's cool that even though it's simple the time pressure incentivizes you to think fast, so sometimes things seem more complex than what they are because of that. That being said, it probably has the most frustrating beginning ever. It took me 15 minutes to understand what the game wanted, but I can understand why some people would not even with hours (all the reviews about torch). The controls are poorly explained, the loop of the game is poorly explained, and the upgrades have to REALLY add up to feel noticeable at all. Again, it took me 15 minutes to understand it, but I can't see someone being confused and just not getting it for way longer. And those 15 minutes were the most frustrating thing I've ever played if you do not consider online pvp's, so I think that says a lot. Conclusion: FUN! But do pay attention to the poorly made tutorial. Like, really pay attention. Also, consider why the game is giving you some items and what your abilities mainly amount to. edit: apparently there is a manual of this game and, surprisingly, upon reading my appreciation for it has gone down. 1) No mention whatsoever to how turn down the volume, something that…
It's a super fun game that's definitely worth the full price! I got 100% achievements in under 10 hours, and trial mode took me a while, but it was great to be able to learn what I needed to do. It's a little tricky to learn at first, but it just takes a few minutes. Also, the music is really fun! A little tip, crafting the heater panels will save you. It takes a while to save up the resources, but it's totally worth the defense boost! And any comments complaining about "too much crafting" are wrong. You can almost certainly complete the main game mode without any crafting. Just be a little careful managing your time, and you'll be fine.
Very cute little game! Love it!
Welp, I beat it in less than an hour on my second try. The gameplay isn't bad, but there's just not enough content here. Even though I just earned enough points to unlock a bunch of upgrades, why should I bother when none are needed to complete the game? I'm not going to refund because it's only a couple bucks and the structure is here, just needs more content. More meaningful upgrades, maybe equipment you can find and upgrade in a run. Make it more rogue-like, I don't know. It could be something, but needs work.
