### 5/5 — Начало-супер

*2025-10-01, version 1.55*

Все супер, очень жду развития проекта. Кроме дальности плавания хотелось бы видеть комбинации заклинаний, чтобы из 2 слабых собиралось 1 более мощное. Рецепты объединения заклинаний можно было бы покупать за монеты, например.

### 5/5 — Нужны новый уровни

*2025-09-23, version 1.54*

Игра супер !
Куда везти людей у которых 80 и более монет ??
Может сделать развилки или переходы на реке ?

### 4/5 — Great Concept

*2025-08-30*

Feels like a really good demo. I’ll buy it when the full game is done.

**Developer response:** Great that you liked it! New river will be available in few weeks! Stay with us!

### 4/5 — Crybabies

*2024-11-19*

Idk what game grimfeenic is playing but is a f i g roguelike. You are supposed to die. Man up and quit being a cry baby. The game tuns and plays fine.

### 1/5 — Bad review.

*2024-09-13*

There is a delay on deaths, it makes it genuinely unplayable, yeah you can brute force it and just slam all your points in hp regen but then you’ve got to worry about your mana regen which I’d also like to say drops by attacking nothing, yes I mean attacking nothing, no attack animations, no enemies on screen, just constant mana drain and at a certain point of level it just bottoms your mana out like a warrior pimp slaps a mana potion out of your mouth and screams at you for being a mana guzzling, spell junkie and his ex wife was just stolen by a wizard.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting! We already working with those issue, and they will be fixed in next release, it should come today or tomorrow. Stay tuned!
UPD: New version with fix is already released!
