Holy wow! I mean, honestly, I’m just happy you’re continuing to make games and create. Level Up (along with other flash games back in the day) was a huge inspiration for me to get into writing. So thank you!

Okay. This admittedly has absolutely nothing to do with this game. But I’ve been looking everywhere for a way to chat with you, and I’m just gonna say it: Are you the guy that made Level Up all those years ago?

Heyo! I’m catsupnorth from NG. I ended up winning again (yes I’m still playing), and so I thought I’d donate some money and share some more feedback:

-Assassin is *really* good. Combos well with summons and tanks, and cuts through hordes like it’s nothing. Even Tier 1 is a great addition to any formation.

-Succubus + Shield + small HP Buff = Broken. Take 1 damage from anything (except Knights, which is just 2), insta-kill that unit, AND convert them to your side. Even Archers can only do so much to that.

-In general, I never saw a need to level up my Succubuses. Any hit, regardless of attack, already converts any unit, and health can just be increased manually. So, I thought of a rework:

Succubus L1: 1/2, spawns with Charm (On the first hit, convert the enemy.)

L2: 2/3, spawns with Charm (On the first 2 hits, convert the enemy.)

L3: 3/4, spawns with Charm (On the first 3 hits, convert the enemy, and heal self for 1.)

Hopefully that would break the Succubus + Shield combo (since you can’t have two items at once) and give an incentive to level up. I haven’t ever seen a L3 Succubus, so maybe that form’s enough to give a reason, but I doubt it.

-Excalibur and Wizard suck, but purplynecro’s review down there go other that pretty well. Viking is also outclassed by Sticky early on, and struggles against Supporters; which, when they pour in en masse, makes him bad earlygame and outclassed lategame.

-Skeleton’s L3 should definitely give you gold back, otherwise there’s not a lot of reason to merge the 2/2 L2s together.

And I think that’s it again! Keep up the good work up there.
