Looks cold. Is it still in development
The game is pretty awesome. Is develoment still ongoing, or have you canceled this project? If you fixed some of the more major bugs (if inventory is full you will leave the shop after buying something, tutorial through city only finishes after talking to everyone twice, etc.), expanded the story missions and added some more difficult and different enemies, this would definitely have a lot of potential. The alpha has been really fun, looking forward to more.
The game is actually pretty good overall. Just that I kept dying maybe I didn't hit the defect button and also it is a pretty good mechanic to use typing. Good for all types of people. But some minor bug here and there like after I died I still can kill mobs not until I hit enter then I will return back to town, also I can't buy a certain item called 'heart something?'. The last thing is my save data is not saved. Looking forward to more updates.
I love it. Cannot wait for the full game to come out. I enjoyed how it felt playing it. If I can offer some criticism though, in the beginning it is not clear that you have to die to stop the fist delve. I got over 20 deep without understanding what was going on before I hit a bunch of strong enemies and died.
Thanks irkenfenrir! You're absolutely right! We wanted the player to have a taste of the typing dungeon before reaching upgrades but truly, if you're pretty good, getting far in the dungeon wouldn't be a problem without them. We've just added a small fix, and we're still working on balancing the difficulty to make it both playable for slow typists and fun for fast typists.
