Loved this gen played for an hour straight <3 Failed miserably in my first run, read the comments, and won in my second! :D
For anyone wanting a hint:
As asdaldo said in the comments below- the blue sparkle effect means temporary armour (first move only!), this makes armourtages VERY useful :D Also-! For some creatures it's more helpful to create them at level 1, use their attack until health depleted, and then merge, this is most useful with the armours again to make the most of their, well, armour! :D
