    It clears out those monsters such that you can further progress but I don't know that you are fast forwarding per se. Seems to only trigger when you are very close to losing (I mean winning... yeah!).

    I think once the meter fills, all the monsters that you've collected come running out to do damage to the monster that you are currently fighting.

    That makes sense (and is pretty cool).

    If you've got 10000000 installed, she puts up the score sign at your wall with your highscore :) She also seems to decorate your boat more with each new playthrough. Not sure about that though.

    Interesting. I still have it installed but that didn't happen for me. Also interesting that one app could poke around another app without your permission...?

    Effect of the horn

    Awesome! I tried to see what's happening, but it always happens so fast! That makes sense, so the more monsters you have the more damage your horn will do! This game has so much hidden depth it's mind boggling.

    An important question:
    How does monster collection work? Already completed the game twice, but just collected 33 monsters max. I'm pretty sure that I'm quite good at this game. Tried doing several missions at once during my first playthrough, tried single mission games only during my second. Didn't help, cannot get more than 33.

    Aren't those collected monsters just mission reward (apart from one?) and aren't those missions/rewards the same each time?

    Since it's impossible to repeat missions or stay on a level once you completed all missions, I don't know how to get more monsters.

    Trying a third time now!

    PS: The dev should get rid of the tutorial once you start over again.
     
  8. Funny, I finished the game with the same questions. Glad I'm not the only one who didn't notice that 1. You can replay levels at any time. 2. There are secret monsters to collect, and since you can replay levels, you can still collect them after completing the game. Although, not really sure what the point is since they don't seem to affect your next game (do they?) and there's no leaderboards.

    With all the stuff on my boat, I can't seem to find a way to go back and replay levels. The only time I see the map screen is when I advance to the next stage (currently at Mage Tower). Can you/how can you replay levels or backtrack? Thanks in advance for any info or advice.

    When you're on the pop up page where you select challenges and can click to begin your run, look up top and you should see both left and right arrows to pick a map area.

    Pretty sure that only shows up after you complete the game for the first time.
     
  12. That would explain why we all missed it. ;) Can anyone confirm?

    I'm at world 3 of my third playthrough and still don't see any arrows in the challenges screen. There's only the one arrow in the upper left when I can move on to the next stage. Any screenshots? Reall weird.

    I finished the game several times, and there is no level selection after the end credits (and I wanna have collected all monsters before that sequence). I can only play the gallery level after finishing the game, or I restart.

    That's bizarre. Must be a bug...? You've gone to the "hmph" guy at upper left, right?

    Yes, have to go to him anyway to restart the game. I'm just finishing once more and see what's there. Then I can take screenshots.

    Please let me know if you figure this out; I'm having the same issue. Thanks!

    I used a fish food item when I was fighting a gelltower and it liked me and followed me to my boat :)
