I didn’t win on my first try, but there’s no doubt it’s a really fun game
Thank you for playing.
I’ve added character-specific relics that you start with, as well as some consumable items. I think this will make the game more strategic. I’d love it if you’d play again.
Very cool! I found the runegrid rather unintuitive to use (I guess you can't place freely but have to slide runes in from the edges?), but I love it as a concept and the way groups of runes multiply their power is super neat. The graphics are a bit indistinct and I had trouble making out what some things were.
I did encounter a bug on my first play where I could move onto the portal but it wouldn't take me to the next level. I couldn't reproduce it afterward though.
Thank you for playing and for your warm feedback comments.
The portal bug seemed to occur upon restart, so I've fixed it.
I also find the grid operation a bit confusing—the need to delete items and slide them. However, since this is a core part of the game, I'd like to consider refining the UI and UX.
