    Game of the Month IMO, thanks Dev :)

    BTW I have some questions for now:

    1. Looks like the speed become a hidden stat now, is there any way to increase it?

    2. Do quests influenced by the level? I went about 2x levels in one run, got the key item but the man who gave me quest not show up when I back to the town.

    1. Speed is always the same in the sequel (pretty fast). I didn't like the idea of a stat like agility in the first Enchanted Cave that affects both character ability and game speed. Kind of like how Sprint Shoes should be on by default or at least not take up a relic slot in FF6, just kind of silly.

    2. The town updates with each run through the cave when you use the Escape Wings. I don't think it's explicitly stated in the game but I've always thought of it as 24 hours passing each time you do that so NPC's come and go every time you come back to town.

    I'm Really impressed by this game. One question: is the only way to regain mp practically through crafting or picking up potions? I've only done one run but it seems like magic is hard to come by.

    Is there a level cap? Just wondering about the skill tree and how picky I should be.

    You get some MP regen items a bit into the game which will help out. No level cap so you'd always get to "choose a bonus" but there are only so many nodes on the skill tree I guess so that's somewhat of a cap.

    Just completed the game and got a kickass ragnarok sword for beating the boss. Now for new game + :)

    Also are there any perks for completing the museum ?

    Had a decent play, love it!

    The NPC interaction and town setting etc. is nice but not in the way to quickly dive into the game itself.

    The concept of retaining some incremental (gold) loot and stats works great.

    The randomised floor layout is good, and there is quite a bit of tactic at play with skills, crafting and brewing. Without such elements, the concept would be a bit bland, in particular because fights can be a bit dull in itself and monsters are static. So it all adds up, nice game. And some of the graphics are really nicely done, love the bouncing damage counters when you fight something...

    Now back into the cave it is!

    I love this game! Especially like how the story explains the randomized cave and all the loot laying around.

    The changing village and the rumors make it all so much better. All the other people there are just as anxious to get back into the cave as I am :D

    Love this Game!! (=

    But just now something happened to take away quite some fun )=
    I lost probably a few hours of progression -.-
    Went from 40 to 80 in one sweep and I had full hp, really good gear and like 8 potion buffs and I still died to that boss losing everything!! )=
    That really is frustrating, especially cause I had no problem at all to beat even the dragons before him, so I was pretty sure that full hp+ 8 buffs will be enough...

    Your progress is saved every time you leave the cave. The longer you keep going, the higher the risk.
    It's one huge risk/reward gamble. It sucks for you that you lost everything :(
    But that's the core of the game, knowing when to quit ;)

    Really great game so far :) only things I'm missing are some comfort functions (being able to look around the map by swiping and increasing the game speed a little when tapping on the "quick walk to the stairs" symbol would be awesome). I also encountered a bug at the museum: if you have the same item in your inventory multiple times and one in the museum as well, then tap on the item in the museum it will get added to your inventory but won't be removed from the museum so you can add an infinite number of this item to your inventory..

    /Edit: Also the skill tree positively reminds me of the one in path of exile (best skill tree in a game I've ever seen!)

    Well I know that, but why should I quit with full hp, the very best equip I got through 40 stages and 8 different potion buffs I applied to myself? No idea how I can improve since I did already max most of the tree (not the+gold and +loot and potions part of it)

    You should quit because failure costs hours of time and it only takes maybe 5 minutes to go from floor 70 to 80 after using wings. Blaming the game for this doesn't make much sense.

    I just complained about the boss being very unexpected much harder than any boss before or the hardest creature up to that point ;)
    Don't get me wrong though, I love the game (=

    And I just now noticed that you can use the heal spell in fight which practically doubles my hp, so I guess it was my fault after all ;)
