Universal Goblin Sword (by Eleftherios Christodoulatos)

Amazing game with brillant level design and global art direction, that made me abandon all the rest on my iPhone.

I'm trying to grab the "Demon Sword" (2-16) for maybe the 80th times but I'm still enjoying it.

Reminds me all that teenage fun on "Rainbow Island", "Bubble Bobble" and "Ice Climber".

The two items that helps me a lot for treasure/crystal completing is the boots and the "harpoon lance".

The lance and it's magical hit is not so powerfull but with that great range you can easy "clean" path after trying to jump somewhere or to save your butt on a tricky landing.

But I haven't tried other buying weapon, 'till I hit the 10.000 achievements.

I just bought the Bear armor because it's badass

 

Fighting Warg

Can someone please give me some tips on equipment and tactics to defeat the boss Warg? Is there a video that anyone has made fighting Warg?

Thanks

 

I got the demon sword but I don't understand the fuss I think Excalibur is better, am I right or not?

 

I think this is one of those games where preference can change from person to person. I like slightly higher speed, ability to hit things above without jumping, and the special homing attack of the Demon Blade. The Excalibur isn't bad or anything, it has a great powerful special attack but I think the Demon Blade fits my style of play style much better.

 

Any update on controller support?

 

Controller support is mostly done, but will delay it a bit to add full menu support. It will be included with the free content update in a couple of months.

Btw we will increase the price to $1.99 on Monday.

 

Caves Level 15 Key

Can someone please tell me how to get out of Caves Level 15 after you get the last gem. I found a locked door across the lava area from where the last gem is located, but I can not find the key to unlock it.

Thanks

I located it.

 

Your individual play style is true for the entire game. There are so many ways to do the levels, complete the quests, and fight the bosses. I just defeated the Dark Wizard with the Excalibur. This is contrary to most of the postings to use a weapon that can hit overhead, but the Excalibur fits my play style better.

 

Game Impressions

I have noticed that on two separate occasions that the Phoenix Pendant disappeared while playing Forest Level 16. It happened in the area where you get the key. If you die and restart the level, the Phoenix reappears.

Thanks

 

I have to ask, are you aware that the Phoenix vanishes and heals you by one heart if you die?

 

No, I did not know that. That's actually great news, I thought I had a defective bird. Thanks!

 

One thing I don't like is how you restart at the VERY beginning of a level, with ALL your stuff lost even opened chests and crystals, if you die or fall into a hole. That's just plain annoying. All other platformers I know have checkpoints. Sometimes you need to purposely fall down cliffs in order to check if there are secrets there, and if there isn't, well there goes all my level's progress.

 

Since most levels aren't too long, I don't really mind starting all over.

 

Exactly (as to both of the above responses). The levels are the perfect length.

 

Last level of the castle is INSANELY hard. I've lost count of how many times I've tried now but it's no less than 30. Pretty much 50% of the level is covered in spike traps. The relic that "increases drop rate of hearts" is pure bullsh*t. I've equipped that for half of the entire forest and castle world and didn't notice ANY difference in the drop rate of hearts. In fact most of the time I've gone through an entire level, killing every single enemy, and not a single heart dropped. Gonna upgrade max health to at least 5 before attempting this nightmarish level again. The challenge is great and reminds me of one of the best platformers ever made, Captain Claw. Seems it's about as close as we can get to CC on iOS.

 

I have completed all 45 levels, defeated all of the bosses, have 5 hearts and haven't been able to complete the 3 secret levels yet. If you use the Phoenix Pendant, you will have 1 extra life if you use all your hearts.

 

This is great, really nice platformer, good mechanics and lots of levels!

 

There seems to be some problems with the controls not reacting to touch. Probably 1/3 of the deaths in last stage of castle world were caused by that.

 

Caves Level 16

In Caves Level 16, wearing the Pyro vest, is there any way to get past the two blades without getting hit when you ride the platform up after you get the 3rd Crystal?

Thanks
