Amazing game! Great combination of simplicity and depth, superb aesthetics, a world that seems both fleshed out and mysterious at the same time. Reminds me of Fallout 2 and Zelda 2.
Bad news is I can't load my saved game. I click "Continue" and it hangs. Relevant error in Javascript console log below. Seems like the save file can't be accessed.
Thanks for the game!
(Clearing the save and switching from Safari to Chrome fixed the issue -- thanks!!)
Hey! Glad you are enjoying the game. But sorry about the error :-/
That looks like a browser permission issue. I wish I understood this better to give you a good explanation. But you can try adjusting your browser's security settings to allow access to the data. I recommend using Chrome, though the game works for me on Firefox, as well (I haven't tried other browsers much). Set security to "standard protection" and make sure that sites are allowed to use java script and embedded content.
If that does not work, try this: hold down SHIFT + CONTROL when you hit ENTER on the start screen of the game. This will delete your save data. But the reset might be necessary after you have adjusted the security settings and/or moved to a different browser.
Please let us know if it works for you! If the problem persists, then we can look into a different fix. Thanks for playing!
Glad to hear it! We did not really test the game much on Safari. we should put a disclaimer about using Chrome or Firefox. Cheers!
Now I am jsut confused!
I jsut beat the game but I never could get to the top left tower in the homecoming place since the gate there is always locked :-(
Congrats! That tower is optional content. There is a way to get there :)
any hints? :-)
cause I seriously have no clue I've been everywhere, at least I think so.
Please dont tell me it was either the markus guy (i didnt do his 10k quest and jsut killed him, so chest there locked forever) or
the peace guy. I messed him up the first time i was there, like who the f thinks that suddenly THOSE goblins dont want to kill you?
so i went to get first hit as usual and the guy directlyy attacked me when i got there.
only realized later what he might have even meant with me breaking the peace or so...
also, if one gets everything will all weapon, armor, shield and ring places by filled?
cause i think I bought pretty much everything yet still have plenty of room in each row in the inventory
nvermind, jsut went back and the gate in front of the tower is jsut gone, no ida when that happened.
and yeah, the sumo guy is back. and instantly dead again.
optional content I come!
Ha ha great! Enjoy.
destroying that one guy's bookshelve in lady whatever's village (west, then south) very realiably makes the game freeze for me each time. and I have to reload the page. gladly the house has been used as a savepoint so i can respawn there
Thanks for reporting the bug. We haven't been able to reproduce the problem on our end at this point, but we will keep looking. It's a specific bookshelf?
We are planning to do an update soon, so if we can find the bug, we will try to fix it. For now, good to hear that it's only a minor problem!
Nah, now i think it's likely just my computer. cause later on when I killed 2 hobgoblins (the bulky goblins),
it froze when I killed the second guy.
I think it's just the particle effect when someone dies or as before when an object is destroyed.
cause my laptop aint the newest (it's from 2015, so like 10 years old), it likely is momentarily overstrainined with those particle effects (it shouldnt as computer runs fine, jsut game freezes and sadly doesnt unfreeze again).
Also one thing that happened kind of consistent:
You know the guy who's girlfriend supposefly ran away and you gotta bring the silver necklace back?
Later on when the quest is done the guy isnt in front of the house anymore.
now each time I try to go inside, i come back to the main menu.
issue though:
the game isnt REALLY over as i can nonetheless see the HUD with life points and such, so game is basically still running but the main menu on top.
so pressing "continue" there then doesnt do anything.
now reload page, eh?
well, now things get really funny.
so page loads, you press continue.
well, nothing happens as it seems.
but while you still see that screen, the game actually is loaded in the background (like before).
continue pressing again in this second screen doesnt do anything.
so i press new game here.
freaking out cause the new game intro starts playing (while hud still on screen).
gladly it doesnt really start a new game.
but you jsut spawn near a certain screen transition, the screen right of the screen, where the elevator cave for the lady xy village is.
thankfully no items,exp or anything lost.
jsut a few heart attacks.
now I know the drill.
but basically I cant enter the guy's house at it seems to be liked to spawning the main menu screen. whcih you cant get rid like any normal window.
maybe my computer again but that is too consistent to be "though luck".
Thanks again for all the feedback! Yes, we just found the issue with entering that location as well. I think it should be fixed with the update we just posted... But we will confirm that and let you know :)
We will also check on the particle effect issue. Cheers!
yep, is fixed. i can finally loot the chest in that house :-)
Great! Really glad you are enjoying the game :)
great game, could use some checkpoints though....
always having to walk back to any place from the start point gets quite tiring over time...
Hey, glad you like it :)
The experience of starting over at the first area after death is by design. We were hoping that would encourage players to explore different areas. And we wanted death to feel a little bit punishing, since you don't lose your gold or anything. You can discover and open up shortcuts that reduce the travel time, and once you have defeated the first boss you can teleport directly to the home base area at any time, if that helps.
But it's useful to know that some players find that feature frustrating. We'll keep that in mind in the future as we consider updates. Thanks!
By now I like the game. jsut the start, until the first boss, was a bit too linear there, as it was just was jsut trowing yourself in there again.
by now I have probably explored everything, got the quest from beond the key runes gate.
Now time to go around and revisit everywhere.
Like the game :-)
but I'm happy that on death you only have to awalk back and dont lose any money or exp.
cause with my limited skills, I would die repeatedly and lsoe everything thst way and ragequit for good :-)
hm, just now I want to replay the game. but after the "continue", the screen stays black.
retried again, even clsoing and reopening the browser, nothing changes.
always "loads" to a black screen.
must be related to that new update from a few hours ago
Okay, yes it might be related to the update. Though that is strange... Worst case, you can do a hard save data reset by holding shift and control as you hit enter on the start screen. But be aware that this will erase your save data :-/
First, we will attempt a solution that hopefully will not require you to do that!
Okay, we have implemented a fix that should allow you to continue your game without a hard data reset. Try it out and please let us know if it worked!
We also tried to correct the issue with particle effects freezing the game. Not sure whether it will solve all the issues there, but it should have fixed at least some of them.
We really appreciate all your feedback!
Really enjoy the variety of weapons .. for a game with old school style of graphics .. its clearly highly polished ... good job!
Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you like it. We put a lot of thought into the weapon system, so it's nice to hear you appreciate it :)
It's quite good! I like the old school style I think there's a lot of depth in this game.
Thank you! A simple system that offers some depth of gameplay was one of our main goals. Cheers!
I'm battling the dark one but every time his halfway his health the screen would just turn black.
not sure if this errors are related to the black screen.
Hey, sorry about the error. We will try to fix it. But to clarify, are you talking about this character?
Yes! Tried it 2x , got him to half its health then screen gets black out.
Okay, we're looking into it and will get back to you soon!
Hey, I have been looking into it and have not been able to recreate the problem. What browser/device are you running the game on? The screen.orientation.lock() error sounds like a mobile feature, but this game is not designed to run on mobile. So if you are playing it on an iPad or something, that might be causing issues? But I have to admit, I don't really know what is going on...
I have the problem recorded on video, I'm sending it through the reddit thread soon :)
Thanks very much for the video. Super helpful :)
