The game is entering a new stage where it will be a paid purchase.

But the game is coming to Steam and with a load of new content, QOL and overall improvements.

Check out the Steam page here:

A roadmap for all future content will be released soon as well

Thanks for the feedback, I’m working on a pretty massive update right now so this is valuable info. I’ll work on making sure the aiderbots target the correct entities and find a way to explain shock damage

But until then, enemies inflicted by shock take extra damage from aiderbots. I can’t remember if it’s an addition or multiplier but the more shock you have the more bonus damage you get

That sounds like a bug yeah, thanks for letting me know

Was a lot of fun

This was amazing LMAO. So good

I’ll take a look at those bugs, thanks for letting me know

Thanks, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Cool game, played longer than I thought I would

It's a bit weird that mana is heart shaped, should probably be star shaped
I think every card should cost mana as I never had to look at the mana meter when casting cards

I think the hitboxes are a bit off, seemed to not take damage when I should have a few times
It's also not great that the cards can't combo with each other since that's one of the most important features of a roguelike like this

There's a bit of an inconsistent artstyle in this game with high quality pixel art, minimalist pixel art, smooth drawings. Being consistent is more important than having high quality art. The reward coins also need a proper sprite other than just a circle.

Not sure about getting every card at once between waves as well, I feel like they should either be earned through dodging or collecting, or each have a cooldown. Or if there's a mana rework then having mana collected on the battlefield or have a cooldown would be good.

A small change that would be nice could be making time only slow down and not stop when choosing cards to keep some of the tension.

I didn't seem to get a reward from beating an elite enemy (skull with crown). Seems strange, players should be rewarded for more difficult fights.

Also not sure why I lost all my mana/health upgrades after beating the boss, not necessarily a bad thing but should probably be communicated to the player at least.

I will say that this game was more enjoyable than One Step from Eden for me. I really like the merging cards mechanic and all the charming characters. Combat felt pretty good in general as well. I recommend you increase the player shot speed, add particles, bassy sfx, knockback, more particles, etc to make the game feel super juicy. The "Juice it or Loose it" talk on youtube is great for tips about this.

All in all, great work! 

Thanks so much! 
To unlock Jack you must beat the Halloween challenge in “challenges”

The challenge is unlocked by beating the game for the first time

Good luck! 

If you join the discord we are currently working on a tool for checking item effects and values, more than half the items in the game are currently viewable so far

And of course feel free to ask me any questions you might have!

Thanks a ton! 

Thumbtacks large sprite should be fixed in v3.2.3b

Let me know if it somehow isn't fixed

Thanks for the feedback

I’ll be bringing it back later today I think

I’ll try having tap shooting be an optional mechanic for slightly higher firerate 

I’m testing out a new feature where you press shoot instead of hold it

Once you reach a high enough firerate however it will become automatic again

The hope is to make shooting feel more engaging, fun and use more skill 

Let me know what you think after a bit more playtime 

If you play on browser it will automatically update but if you download the game (recommended) then you’ll have to redownload the game each update 

Thanks so much! 

Here’s a tip:

By using your ability you can get a few seconds of invincibility, time it well and it can prevent taking damage or even allow you to tank through tough bosses

Good luck! 

Thanks for the feedback! 

Thanks that’s really kind! 

I’ll look into making endless easier, it’s definitely received a heavy increase in difficulty since v3.0

Do you think the difficulty is coming from enemies/bosses/tiles having too much hp, not getting enough hp, too many bullets to avoid and/or prices being too high?

Thanks for playing!

Thanks for letting me know, I'll get to work on these
I'm hoping to have a new version later today 

That's really strange, I'll look into it soon

The fact it's happening seemingly at random times is alarming 

Yeah there’s nothing I can do about that, it needs to be approved by a QA team

I’ll announce in the discord when it gets updated 

No problem, glad to hear the game is back to being more stable and bug free

I really appreciate the feedback as well!  

Sorry about that bug, hoping to have a chance to fix it soon

Yeah sorry save data doesn’t carry over when playing the browser version 

This is a lot of great feedback

A lot of the things here I can fix without too much hassle

I agree that Swain needs a rework however, the health system isn’t very fun and was kind of rushed

I’ll try and fix all of these this weekend if I can 

Yeah that’s the intended effect, haven’t had a chance to fix it in a while but I hope to soon 

You’ll need a very heavy amount of damage yeah 

Weird I thought I fixed this bug, I’ll take another look at it thanks 

Can you let me know which ones you've seen so I can get rid of them?

Thanks this is great feedback!

I appreciate all the help you've been!

I'll get to work on those suggestions

Oh weird I’ll take a look into that thanks 

That’s a pretty good item idea

I’ll see it I’m able to make it

Just fixed!
Also a new character! 

Enjoy!

Just released an update which fixes this and makes Cholla immune to bombs

Enjoy!

I'll fix that, thanks for telling me

Pierce no longer works on hedges, it was too overpowered so it only works on enemies now

What do you mean by freezing? 
Thanks for playing by the way 

I’m glad you like it!
