Universal Power Grounds (by Diego Cathalifaud)

Love arena mode! Just got to wave eight, can't figure out what the little yellow star does though.

 

:-o, wave 8 without using upgrades? You're good!

The upgrades are different for each spell. For instance, you get a lot more charges if you cast an upgraded stance, and upgraded fireball throws 5 fireballs instead of 3.

 

Without a doubt this is an essential pick up for this week, especially at 99¢. Roguelike arena?! So gooood, I can't stop playing, high score is 31 so far.

I keep getting cornered by spear dudes in the eighth wave and getting clobbered.

 

No vids yet?

 

Is this game like "Ending"?

 

Great game. I love the spell mechanic. Excellent companion to Amber Hall.

Any plans for a daily challenge? That is what brings me back to Amber Hall again and again.

 

It is a roguelike as well, but this one is based on spells.

No plans yet. There are a couple of technical difficulties that make a daily quest a lot harder to implement in this game. I'm considering it though.

 

Someone posted a video here.

 

Awesome! Thanksaroni

 

I got 30 kills in Arena, can't remember what wave though

 

Wow, spear guys? That sounds like a lot of fun. How does the game change as you get higher?

 

Love power grounds. I think it's a perfect companion to amber halls. They both have somethjng the other lacks. You're a great developer, and deserve this cult following!

 

As you progress you collect more of the nine power tiles and there are more + different types of enemies. Ranged archer and fast moving spear dudes that also kind of act as sentries guarding lanes.

 

Here is a nice review by 148 Apps.

Sadly they didn't mention the challenge offered by the game's achievements.

 

I just downloaded the PC version, and WOW! This game is super fun. It looks like the iOS version is even better. Good work!

Question: Do the achievements show up on Game Center or are they local to the game (a la Hoplite)?

 

Achievements show both on the game itself and game center. Leaderboards only show on game center.

 

Another nice review, this one by Bronxsta.

 

Noticed some annoyingly blatant typos. I should really hire a new editor

So do you have any plans for your next game, maybe sticking with roguelikes or more like your previous puzzle games?

 

I'm working on 2 games right now. I still don't know if I'll ever publish any of those. One is a puzzle platformer that looks like New Journey but is a lot less confusing. The other one is a roguelike a little bit different from Amber and PG. It is less linear and more complex (with resources and upgrades).

Both of them are still on the early stages of development.

 

Just promote your editor to become a janitor, then two spots filled!
