I like this game. Takes quite a bit of thinking and is just hard enough that a few wrong moves and you die, but if you think carefully enough with what items you come across, there is always a winning set of items. I won on my first and third time I played this, but died on my second run.
The winning picture is of my second run. That hood gives so much mana. Poison and thorns may also be a bit too strong. I use thorns and armour to deal damage while getting 5 mana per turn, along with stacking poison. Then I shoot them with the damage wand or use the regen wand accordingly.
Also, I killed the final boss using just thorns plus blocking while having more regen than my own health from saving up mana since the end of act 1. Even after defeating the final boss, as you can see, i still have tons of mana.
All in all, fun game, but the hood should give more like 3 mana instead and thorns and poison should maybe be nerfed a bit. Maybe every three turns, poison shouldn't trigger? For thorns, maybe just make the thorns items do less, because with 4 of those helmets, it becomes really strong, really fast. I would also still get 23 armour naturally from all my armour total, even with so many helmets and one of them not touching the top.
