The camera is too zoomed in, and cards take up too much screenspace, especially in the first boss fight. Please add options to fix the camera to every room like in the boss fights and get rid of the cards on the screen.1 found this helpful
This game is genuinely amazing. I love it. I got my damage to 2.xxE+12.1 found this helpful
Small but amazing game, really fun to play! The game design was smart, things feel fair and naturally balanced even though you can get very op.
This game is great and has a lot of potential, i just wish there was more to the game. like more achievements or lore to find or maybe even like a shop that you can buy stuff at, or permanent rewards you can unlock by going further that allow you to go further on your next run. or maybe a challenge mode where you can just fight bosses, or a sandbox where you can test out weapons and combos. also i found this one glitch where if you stand in the top left corner of any room they can't get you. overall though a lot of potential and i would love to see more in the future
Very cute and fun game, and also dirt cheap. It's really fun to try out different builds, stack modifiers, and see the absurd results. The enemy density can get ridiculous, but so can your combos, so it balances out (can't say the same about endless mode though), although it can take a toll on performance. While it's true that there isn't that much content in the game, it's still very fun, and there are many possible builds and combos to try; There is also an endless mode so you can really try out anything there, although the enemy health scaling gets truly absurd. I hope future updates expand on the game, because it's a very solid foundation with a lot of potential. So yeah, it's a great and cheap game. If it seems interesting to you, then I don't see a reason not to try it.
I think that this game has huge potential, it has a solid foundation and a good mechanic of combining the buffs and upgrades, but some things should be changed: -The balance of the game is a bit off, some cards are just pure utility and not useful at all, while others just break the game, the damage and multishot outshine everything in the game, and even those are replaced when you get the repeat cards. Just stacking those and a damage upgrade gets your shots to do millions way before the enemies can scale to you. The attacks of the game seem good but the melee's should do WAY more, you might have to double all of their damage values just to compete with the ranged attacks -Enemy variety is a bit lacking, you have your ranged guys who are tall and lanky and your melee guys who are big and bulky/small and fast, but only 2 bosses is a bit disappointing -Enviroments are a bit bare, only having enemies in a room is kind of lame, I think the stages should have more theme-ing or have more of a foreboding sense as you go further It might sound like a lot of complains but I really do feel like the dev's will be able to improve on the game a lot, and I do have hopes that it reaches way …
