beating the final boss of glades was rather underwhelming

What do you think is missing? Is it too easy? Do you think the Final Bosses should have custom animations?

core gameplay loop got a bit stale towards the end, felt somewhat grindy

I agree, but I think some people love the grind. I will say though, Stan's endgame was balanced around having already beaten the game on Apolonia. So the benefits Apolonia would've provided through extra Boss Points would've made it feel a lot less grindy.

I never got to reach those (??? difficulty) mysterious islands, any idea how to get there?

Those will be available in a future update :)

Thanks for the feedback!

Primarily I was disappointed with how sudden the ending was, because

1. I didn't even realize the fairy was a final boss and

2. dialogue afterward felt akin to "hooray, you beat the final boss"

I was expecting some more lore lol. The final bosses werent easy (especially the other final boss - the first time I fought it I didn't make a dent on its purple hp bar). As for custom animations, I love minimalist games so personally that's icing on the cake. I'd honestly prefer more content.

I think you misunderstood that I only played with Stan. I actually got both Stan and Apolonia to beat the goblin boss, then beat the game on Stan since Apolonia's weak damage at the later stages ends up getting me into the "overtime" at turn 15ish, where her high hp and defense just don't matter anymore. Maybe I've haven't been allocating her stat points optimally.

sorry for the late reply and again, fun game, haven't had this much fun playing a browser game for a while :)

You're right, it doesn't feel finished. Keep in mind that this is an alpha test, where you're only seeing 2% - 5% of the game's main story. Final game will be 100+ hours long, so this story is just beginning. The idea is that after defeating the final boss, the story and lore will continue being explained in the second Zone (Oasis).

I think you misunderstood that I only played with Stan.

Oh I see now, yeah Apolonia needs to spend a lot of Stat Points on Attack/Agility/Luck because she already has so much Defense.

I'm glad you like the game though! I hope you'll come back when more content gets added.
