Thank you for your feedback. The graphics were reverted to the previous style. As for the balance changes, while of course not everything is 100% balanced, I think that the game now offers a lot more different strategies to win a run (fish shop is more viable, guns are stronger, must-have frog items are now optional), whereas previously there was only one strategy that practically guaranteed victory. The fossil was way too strong in the old version and guaranteed a 100% advantage over not having it in your party
Yeah, having had more time to digest I think I agree. It's easy to forget this games development still has a ways to go and fine tuning difficulty can wait until after making sure different tools and methods are usable in the first place. Not to mention theres still a whole nother act waiting to shake up the meta later
I appreciate the switch back to the old art. That said, I'm sorry the attempt at improving it didn't work out, that must be frustrating
Wow, another example of an open dialogue between a fan who cared enough to not only make their feelings heard, but put in the care to sound tactful and respectful. It's a real delight to read through and a real course on "Active development" and "Consumer Feedback" as only software development updates can embody it.
It makes one wonder how much rude and hateful comments are merely people venting because with most other games and products "They know nobody is listening".
Off topic, but it reminds me of the irony of the Mcdonalds Company President. You would think he would eat it every day if he devoted his life to the company, however you know most likely he never set foot into one as a customer with his salary. Or like how the walmart president likely doesn't own a thing from walmart ...
The creator is a person who takes his game seriously and you know nobody has spent more hours playing it than him.
