I really like the fact that you can choose an upgrade after each scheme, and the choice adds depth and variety to the gameplay. I also like the fact that the enemies have varied attack patterns. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Only complaint I have is that arena should have some obstacles and more variety to make the gameplay more interesting."},{"author_name":"Ekilibr","author_uid":"29137","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 1:58pm","epoch":1418133180,"text":"The concept is really great ! \r<br\/>There's multiple way to play it, love that kind of stuff :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Best replay value I've seen so far for LD31"},{"author_name":"Victor RENE","author_uid":"46231","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 1:59pm","epoch":1418133240,"text":"I am completely in love with this game. 5 stars. The controls are simple, the rules intuitive. The music fits the theme, etc... Perfect execution of an action-rpg. Some of the mechanics need explantion though.

I fit the game perfectly. The combat feels solid. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>A tiny downside to the upgrades, the health pickup is nice, but ultimately makes you fall behind in upgrades. (It's still manageable, but if the game were longer it could be a downside.)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The character designs were nice, and I loved seeing my smiling little turtle dashing about, killing slimes and the likes."},{"author_name":"imaginarymonsters","author_uid":"40234","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 7:04pm","epoch":1418151540,"text":"Very nice!
