Congrats on making progress!

"partially because magical frostfire is terrible for heating."

heeh!

...

"Evidently the encounters over there must be pretty lousy at archery. (That doesn't necessarily mean you'll have an easy time getting past them.)"

You're welcome! Gaming elsewhere so probably won't look at it again for a few days!

Congrats! Sorry for forgetting to reply so you could reply back!

Thanks for the info! Forgot to mention the undodgable: If you're all the way at the left of the screen in the final battle, it's impossible to Sukoban your way to dodge?

Jewels: Oh, you mean the Charged Set? I have Carnelian (Fire), Tourmaline (Ice), Citrine Thunder, Tanzanite Water, Obsidian Earth and Flourite Wind.

Maybe look again? Hopefully you didn't accidentally sell it? Do you have save backups? Do you want a copy of mine?

Oh, so I can't dodge the final Death, since there's nothing after that? Although I figured out how that game works at least.

I wonder what the potions I skipped do...

I skipped the monsters that guarded potions because I couldn't figure out how to save on command...

Thanks! Code Shambler! Meta fun!

Mouse controlled movement seems "off"? My mouse doesn't have to go on the tile I'm aiming at? At least it's fast?

Typo: Goblin inventor:
straigth > straight [?]

Him? I thought I was playing an elf girl. huh. That's what I get for not reading the description!

So, movement is arrow keys only? Not WASD?

Your titles are so cool! The look reminds me of Necrodancer, which I didn't get because I didn't think I'd be good at it... Hopefully I'll be better at this?

Monster 208 is a sidequest in the Frozen Reach. How many quests do you have? I think I've done everything and have 3 Available quests and 89 Completed ones.

You mean the Cryogem? That's probably gotten by beating Monster 208.

How did you know the Cryogem's missing when you don't have it?

I *think* the Sanctum's Treasure room is like the Dragonstones. You gotta choose? I haven't gotten both rooms either?

Do a Lanterngeist again and see if it regained its Lingering when it's at 0 HP? What elements were you using in the attack potion? I think I reported something similar some where ago. Gonna try and find where. Patch 2 and 3 or so.

Have a good Easter Weekend!

Sailing in the Astral is weird when you use it to transfer between rooms. I forget whether it's intentional that the background music reverts when you sail into another room.

Woo! Congrats on updating!

Woo! Progress!

Heh, timing puzzle! And super strong enemies to grind Research from if you don't wanna go Towering! Or something!

The spacing in itch.io comments are soo weird.

Oh, I did hold Z, thanks for the explanation! Holding X instead actually means I survive!

I only got the Zoomout when I reloaded the autosave? Yep, it's the autosave after the funky dance. A regular save point save should be fine?

Cool that the menu expressions change when flipping between the Start Screen choices!

You're welcome! If Hold X is always supposed to work, well, it doesn't work on the first sign, at least for my Firefox Browser? Not sure why / how mashing is faster?! Oh, the slime seems to move faster if I hold vs. if I mash??

...

Also, for some reason, one of my early saves, the first-death one, probably from the Sword, is zoomed out, and so I can see the slime pop in, instead of coming off from the side of the screen?

Hm... Is the slime supposed to be only survivable by talking to it from the bottom? I can't tell if it's a me thing or something, but I can't survive talking from the top or the left even if I mash with my keyboard.

To survive, I gotta talk from the bottom, or mash with my mouse (and?) keyboard.

Might just be a browser thing. But it was the same last time I tried the directions, given my previous comment, so I guess it's fine?
...
Well. Second death by hole diving sure is interesting.
Pointer of Wisdom: The overcited expression

Is "Overcited" the right word? Firefox doesn't recognize it as a word.. And the meaning doesn't seem to work here?

Woo! Name! German-Greek! Leben! Oh, Levenne!
...
Maybe there should be a special response for getting part way of the combo! I actually got 2 and failed my third on my second try. True, it was because I remembered my previous playthrough a little, but still? Hero should feel a bit better getting 2/6? Still, it means a lot of dying...

And holing myself after finishing the puzzle is a bit too silly to get a good response from, I guess?

Oh, did the finished puzzle reset just because I holed myself? Or because it was the Explosive Hole sequence?

After getting into the Castle, should I be able to walk into the barrel?

Good music! Cool interface! Woo detective fun!

Somehow managed to see all Scene list by Scrying for emptiness. Not that it helps when everything's ??? heh.

Twisty! Good use of colors! Nice and short so even though it doesn't save, I can easily replay!

Thanks! Enjoy the month of Easter!

Are you online on the weekends? Just making sure you get the bug report.

Thanks for responding! May there not be any crashes or anything!

Just making sure you got my bug report above. But I managed to beat the game, so I've found no showstoppers!

Congrats on getting past a slump! And on getting a lot done!

Yah, a military fortress would be less fancy than a purpose built pretty castle!

no "besieging force" mhm~!

You're welcome! Have a good gam mak!

Wasn't planning on looking at it again, but felt I should do my duty / due diligence:

Revive Herb: conciousness > consciousness

Putrefy, Wrath and Torture say "damage all enemies" instead of "attacks all enemies"? Implying those are uncounterable?

It's sorta funny how even without any weapons, a person can still use Unite. Was checking out the Unites, which is hard because I gotta keep switching members around, but a weaponless Roxanne can still be part of Snipers without a bow! heh

Sorry, found a mistake! Nari and Sue's Rivalry says the damage is based off Jodelle and Natalie!

Grandmaster Axe is still Crecsent not Crescent?

Possible Unites is wrong if it's supposed to account for empty spaces, because no way I can do Sisters of Hope with only one empty slot while the other five are: Sue, Nari, Richard, Lester and Massaki? Where would Janice and Roxanne go? Heh.

Cool! I only have experience DF mainly by proxy, like with https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Planepacked

I was wondering if I mistook today for Saturday for a bit there!

Wow a mid-week patch! I don't think it's a delayed April Fool's joke...

How do I get more Shurikens?

Also, does the Master of Lanterns also use the new Summon Revival method too? I remember her lagging me out sooo hard with my slow strat that involved a lot of healing! :laugh:
...
What's the reference here?

lOL the final scene! heeh

I wonder how many times I need to respawn. Could it be just once or twice?
...

Aww! Thanking the dream crystal! And cracks are preserved across universes. Messed me up the first time! heh.

Lucky nails! And retried and got Ninja Butler instead!
...
Wait, if I Frictionless-short-hop to Tricks' Present while carrying wood, shouldn't the wood dissolve?
...

More typo, trying to get the Dream Compass in my first-ish dream.

Blocking me from the port, I assume, there's both a typo with "rigth" needing to be "right"... And a functional bug:

Arithsio: Not here, there was a rotation button blocked by some spikes rigth before.

The message pushing me backwards onto a crack didn't break the glass under me until I triggered the message a second time and it pushed me back a second time.

...

What's Ecca talking about... "self-defensing-shenanigans [...] indispettable*!!!"... Not sure that last word is right. But she's weird so I think it's intentional?
...
First death in Tricks:

Chosen Hero: it's  the cousin [might be a double space after "it's"]

...

BUG? Progress Culture Past Dream World with the Dream Crystal to the right of the Save Point I'm using. Walked onto the Save Point from the left diagonal, did a loop to the Crystal, to Origin, then back to the Save Point, and after walking on the Point, it breaks under me without it happening in Progress no matter how many times I walked back on it?

Is it just an Origin thing so I have to do this without saving here again? Not that that's possible using this loop method...

...
Also, these cracks vanish upon saving?

Woah! Diagonal movement!

Heh, Super Mario 64 Parallel Universes ref! hehe!

Fazey's background actions lol!

Why's a bedroll ??? ... Strange. Oh, it's for Ecca. Right.

Huh, so Hero and Zorg are... time... is weird.

----

Sorry... Starting typo for Gemini's Story:

that suddently > that suddenly

Zorg Story: Luckly > Luckily

Why's this tile to my right I just stepped on, not cracked?

Ha! Sounds FUN! Have a heart!

Yay for having more time! Lol a black market monthly magazine for money laundering!

Well, good luck with game making! Thanks for responding! Sorry I somehow didn't check Itch for like 2 days!

Glad to bring some enjoyment! May you get other good ratings!

Heh. One party where Friend Defender isn't such a good idea, since Astra seems to Support sooo much better than Brill!

Woo Dialogue! Good luck with further progress!

So, if there's been any area expansion, I haven't found it, just tried to leave Cevik Heights then turned back to check the spells.

Only inconsistency is how most runes say "imbues grandmaster X" but Elementalist, Angel, Devil, and Omniscience all say "at grandmaster level".

When selecting the Skill option in the status screen, the character initially selected seems to be memorized as "last character you saw the skills of", which makes the screen scroll immediately if they're not on screen? Intentional?

Grandmaster Axe: Cresent, should be Crescent?

And the "Chamkaq" only seems useful as a Vagrant Story ref, not a real world type of axe?

Romphaia > Rhomphaia

Gastraphetes instead of the Vagrant Story Gastraph Bow maybe.

Oh, Studded Leather armor isn't a real thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/dndnext/comments/ajkwzh/psa_studded_leather_was_created...

Fusskampf armor's only useful as a reference? Fußkampf = Foot Combat apparently.

And Missgalia armor maybe should be https://assassinscreed.fandom.com/wiki/Missaglias_Armor

Downloaded! Poke me with a reply if I don't say anything in like a day?

Oh shit, blood toxin and (freezing) (blood). Horrific!

Woo! Dialogue! Have fun with it!

Somehow only did part of the circle and became a cat with a family of cats.

Other tries went better and I saw more of the game.

And did everything perfectly! heh. Wishes granted!

Is this still true?

About the browser build:

Unfortunately one of my plugins is causing issues with the browser build so I won't be able to upload it right now. I'll try to find a workaround and have a browser build up within this week though!

Heh. More interactables than I expected! Yay for awesome cat life!

Great place to stick the ending!

Woo! Continuity and stuff!

Heh, Gemininja! Not bedazzled!

EDIT: Thanks for the hint! Got the Snow Temple before Gemini Mansions!

I tried to run the game again and made my first new steps!

When above the Lava Zone, in the town tile before the double watchtower bridge, Kalena gives me "Hell I'm not walking into that puddle of lava" when I haven't even unlocked that area in World Map glow?

Heh tree keeper!

Hmm. I could unlock the Snowy Temple before I entered the Volcano area, no? No, I need the Gemini...

And I won! Mother has eyes in more than the back of her head. heh
