Me encanto, un juego bastante entretenido
10/10
the assassin is the best character to play with indeed.
The apples don't seem to stack. Cursed Shield + Ring of Courage doesn't work, even with 0 shield (seems to trigger on HP loss). These Rings do stack, though. The Dragon Wings seem to check for lack of armor before the battle, not after (may be intended).
The lizardman could use a couple of Rings of Protection instead of just armor, but I guess it's hard difficulty and still winnable.
epic sauce
ring of vitality and cursed shield is a doomed combination
Great job. I like it.
Very fun :)
Great game.
First win
intresting game
won with the basic character, letsgo!!
Super fun game, maybe add arcade mode or smthng
i got 6x omelette
is there any way to save the game? like, if i go to another game from this page, when i go back to this, would i still have my progress?
edit: im only asking because i like your other games too, and for one of them, mind cards, it had saved my progress, then reset it after the tab reloading or whatever for a second time
Great job. Cool graphics and interesting elements
Loved it.. Went and bought Escape The Fold on iOS!
Played a few rounds.. Pretty solid game so far.
this game has awesome art and is very responsive doesn't lag at all only wish there was music and more uses for the money like a merchant or something very unique design but still simple
this game is quite literally impossible on mobile. (when i try to click and drag it scrolls or stops me from clicking and dragging) looks fun tho.
Fun!
How to use items from inventory? I tried holding left click then bringing it to my hero card but it doesn't work.
its auto use
The items are more of passive abilities and not active.
I understand it would be a huge ASK but would be really cool to see this game hit Stadia
Extremely addictive! I'm sold on getting the full version.
Great game! I'm dying a lot but i love the gameplay loop!
completed the game with assasin, very cool game
i like the game it's fun
is this rare?
no, I've gotten it a couple of times
Knight and deamon are absolutely broken, lizard is... weird, and rogue is playable
Strategy summary: Warrior and lizard stink, half-demon can survive just through the sheer amount of total health, and the assassin is overpowered.
YOOOOOOOO STEAM REALSE IS NEARING
I can’t wait!!!
Nice game!
Very good game
I just died 3 times in a row as the thief to my carrot lol
Wishlisted this awesome game! It seems quite simple and bound to loads of luck but you really can strategize your way through the levels. I'd love to see the full realese as soon as possible! Great Job!
Nice concept and gameplay loop. Wishlisted on steam, looking forward for the release.)
