In my opinion a great game!! bottledgalaxy likes this. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,126 703 113 #3 anthony78, Sep 29, 2020 Aren’t all arcade games effectively “roguelike” by nature? Just seemed an odd label for this. bottledgalaxy Member Aug 10, 2020 17 8 3 #4 bottledgalaxy, Sep 29, 2020 We have received mixed responses to using that in our description. We definitely appreciate the feedback and will think if we should remove from the description in a future update. Thank you! Jstorm Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2020 1,082 474 83 Male Employed Earth #5 Jstorm, Sep 29, 2020 I like the simplicity of the base mechanics, and how it evolves with perks. It would be great if nodes had some pickup radius for salts, or I would even prefer salts to attracted and automatically picked up by the hex. Also, the number of salts required for cassettes feel a bit too much. Even halving wouldn’t hurt. sebgo and bottledgalaxy like this. bottledgalaxy Member Aug 10, 2020 17 8 3 #6 bottledgalaxy, Sep 29, 2020 Thank you so much for the review/feedback! Definitely nice idea about the pickup radius for saalt. Regarding saalt requirement for cassettes, it might have been because we played it so much during testing that we felt it wasn't that bad. But you are not the first person to mention it, so we will definitely look into it! Glad to hear you are enjoying it!

I can't believe I waited for this to be released and now that I have it in my phone, I don't play it as I must! I didn't make it far in the little I've played (8 waves at best, I guess), but it's been definitely fun [and challenging]! I grabbed very few credits during my runs, which makes me think store items might be a bit expensive (or maybe it's just that I didn't make it to a point in which credit income is bigger). Anyway, liking it so far (Hail, Hydra!). sebgo Well-Known Member Dec 26, 2010 830 397 63 Male 95% leisure.

Lull4by Well-Known Member Aug 21, 2014 767 313 63 #10 Lull4by, Oct 10, 2020 Price is okay to me after knowing how the mechanism work, some upgrades are necessary to get as soon as possible like Cruciform, Hydra and Orbital Thruster, all of them making the game easier definitely. There are still some bugs, for example, I encountered a bug that making my "ring" freezing that I can't move them except I leave the game. Another bug I found is about card changing, when I swiped cards, they both change appearance and effect temporarily. BTW I am curious about how "stickiness" work? @bottledgalaxy game is really good, I really enjoy it! sebgo Well-Known Member Dec 26, 2010 830 397 63 Male 95% leisure.

Changelog doesn't say much (doesn't say shyt at all), but I'll check it later. Edit: Meh, it just wants to have access to my X account. I read a bit before/without granting access and came across terms such as "token", "blockchain" and "cryptocurrency", and before getting into it any further I decided to delete the game instead; you/we can't trust the internet nowadays. As for the game, it remains the same, so I'll stick to the old version. ☻ (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
