Hello! I got this game recently and have been playing it like crazy, but nothing I do can get me past the 2nd area. I've noticed that a lot of the monsters spawning here are upwards of 3 or 4x my def/att and that makes progression in the game very difficult. It would be great if you could add a better curve to the levels so theres less of a gap. Or even adding a difficulty setting to the game for players that may be struggling. Overall I absolutely LOVE this game but due to its difficulty I will likely not play it again until the pacing issues are fixed.

Thank you for taking my input into consideration

i'm assuming you got it from the bundle, too? i've been really enjoying this game! :- )

i got to the 5th and final area for the first time today (and died horrendously)! maybe i can help? if you send me a game seed that gave you trouble i can take a crack at it!

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. We released this game a long time ago, so I can't really see us making any balance changes at this point!

However, if you're finding that the 2nd area feels like a brick wall there's probably lots of room to improve how prepared you are when you leave the 1st area. To have the easiest time in later areas you want to try and leave the previous areas well prepared (i.e.with as many good cards as possible), which might mean deliberately (but safely) killing more rascals, or it might been holding out and exploring more even if you've found the exit.

I am quite confident in the difficulty curve as it is, but it does expect you to try an make the most out of each area, which might not be what you're expecting.

If you do decide to give it another go (I hope you do), good luck, godspeed :)
