Various bugfixes.

Meh

Has some fun mechanics but is almost illogically difficult at times, simply based on how the cards are assorted. It requires you to keep plugging away at levels until you get lucky and the cards let you through. That kind of takes the wind out of any strategy. The tokens that let you buy weapons or potions are largely worthless, I always end up with something worth 2 or 3 points, which rarely make a difference.

Buggy

I wanted so much to love this game. It's fun, love the graphics, play can be really challenging, but the end comes too soon--it took me a mere 53 levels to reach the end, which in light of the worst flaw is a miracle. Because the game randomly freezes up. I've played it for a few years, and the freeze is recurrent. I delete it, reload, and it reloads still frozen! I start over with a new game, and the same thing eventually happens again. Nope. Unforgivable. I'm out. This time, for good.

Simply wow

Extremely Easy to underestimate this game. It doesn't look impressive at first, but as soon as the fast and quick tutorial (less than a minute) is done, the fun and puzzle solving enjoyment kicks in.

Pro:
-Little to no story (But if you look around there is some context...)
-No useless and tenuous tutorial
-Fast and quick gameplay, 1 mins is enough to try a level
-Mind game, some random is there, but puzzle solving has a bigger impact.
-Easy to learn, but very difficult early on (A big big plus these days, no time wasted).

Cons:
-Maybe... but only maybe a greater scheme like a house building with loot gathered

I wish i had tried it earlier, a wonderfull game, continue your excellent work!

Issues

Fun but VERY buggy.

Purposely unfair

So I’m guessing it’s not as much an adventure game as a survival game because you will most likely almost die on every stage at least once. It’s a health management game. Weapons are extremely limited and there are tons of enemies. This game is just a “pray to the RNG gods game” and that’s fine but that’s what makes it just an ok game.
