Dont forget the awesome invulnerability that is Glass! Dark isnt necessary to max in the beginning. It's awesome even at low levels. Fire, Poison, Light are great elements. Light is the one that's very effective at max level. It clears the screen (almost, the only time it'll miss if it was on one side of the area, and the small enemy on the other side. still pretty small chance of missing) and then the sword effect can make you almost invulnerable too.
Haha, I may be the only one(or one of the only one)who just enjoys the game without having any kind of strategy with the items!
Hey Everplay, great game, I'm really loving it. I hope in the future you also make other characters available along with the new content. Not sure if this has been mentioned before, so I'll just post about it Bug 1: I found a bug that makes some of the levels extremely easy. If you stand in a certain place in the lava level, it will cause all ground enemies that spawn to jump on the top platform and not move towards you. You can just allow them to gather there for as long as you want. When the monster count gets too high though, the game starts slowing down and other weird bugs arise. Suddenly killing too many monsters at the same time will result in the platforms moving wildly as if blown around. If you are not on any hard platform, combined with the severe lag, you will most likely fall into the lava. I've experienced lag of up to 20 seconds when I used poison to explode a large amount of big slimes (that split into 3 smaller slimes). I have some screenshots below showing you where to stand for the effect and some of what happens during the lag screens. There is a similar position on the second level when you stand on the mushroom between the two swinging platforms. Ground monsters that jump on the platforms seem to jump over you or just in one position near you rather than at you, and the ground monsters below you can't reach you either. Only the eyeball's laser and flying monsters can reach you in that position. I have some screenshots of the second level position as well. I've included shots of some lag screens and how the swinging platforms go crazy and the game goes crazy when so many monsters die at the same time. Please see my next post for these screeshots. Bug 2: If you get a phone call while playing the game, when you return to the game, there are no more sound effects, only music. Also, the game does not auto-pause so if you are in the middle of a bad position, when you get back you could easily die since you have no chance to prepare yourself again. I had to quit the game, delete it from the running apps list and restart it to get the sound effects to work again. Bug 3: I'm not sure what caused this, but now whenever I try to start a level, the game just crashes. It started happening after I synced my phone with my computer. Doesn't matter which mode I try (endless or missions), but when trying to load the level, the game crashes. I don't want to risk deleting and reinstalling the game since I will probably lose all of my save data I hope you have some sort of cloud saving put in so that even if the game is deleted and reinstalled, that you save your progress. EDIT: Bug 3 was resolved when I turned my phone off and restarted it. Thankfully no reinstallation was required.
Continuation of the last post. I can't attach all the pics to one post so I split it. Notice the swinging platforms in the "Mission Clear!" screenshot. Each of the screenshots after the first are "lag shots" (excluding the mission clear one). Each lag shot lasted for about 5 - 10 seconds.

The crazy broken iCade controls is what happens to me as well. It seems like it would be an awesome game, but I really only got it for the advertised iCade compatibility. It is even mentioned in this review: http://www.gamezebo.com/games/spellsword/review Any chance for a fix soon? It's pretty frustrating.
Yeah, it's weird.... It doesn't happen on EVERY iCade device, so we are trying to figure that out. There is some iCade version with certain device software version that has a bug. We'll get it taken care of, though.
Lttp on this one, but really enjoying it thus far. Probably the best thing I've played by this studio. Absolutely love the production values, and though the controls can be finicky, the gameplay is pitch-perfect for iOS. The quests and unlockables really elevate this from almost all other quick-fix games. Great stuff. But damn, challenging.
Ok I got this yesterday, I loved it, played it non-stop, and now I'm only doing endless. Is there an update programmed for more missions?
Got this yesterday and finished all the missions. This really is one of my favourite games on my iPad. I'm just maximising all my element cards now; love the fire, dark and invincible card! One thing that I think would be quite cool is a world map instead of the traditional level select that nearly every app has now, the arenas are so different and could be situated within an island or similar location. It won't improve the gameplay but aesthetically the game will be enhanced. Can't wait for future updates!
I second that! Doing endless and can't stop..it' really addictive!! I can't wait for the update so that I can play it on my Ipad (now the controls are a bit uncomfortable on it)...and play more missions! I want more challenge!
Glad you are having fun. Yes, we are adding additional Worlds/Stages but we are also looking at adding more missions to the previous stages.
Sounds awesome. Can't wait for the update Now, I have a question about the achievements. Is there a problem with the hooligan achievement? (reach lvl 15). I'm currently lvl 65, and got the other 2 achievements (lv 30 and 60) but the lv 15 one sits at 93%.
Hmm.. I really want to buy this one but I have to play Inotia 4. It sounds great but I will wait some time before I try it. I hope.
i dont know if this is a bug or not or if this has been mentioned before but whenever i play spellsword everytime i die or clear a mission or purchase something from the item store it always freezes or lags for about 20-30 seconds. it is really annoying and i really can't play this game anymore without getting frustrated. please fix this. thanks
