This happened twice for me so it's definitely a thing. If you roll the class you have, the game should just keep re-rolling until you get something with at least one quality that's different.\r\rI don't really see what you get from forging your weapons beyond a risk of death your first couple times, so I'd take that out. I also didn't like how bats kinda move a bit when you're entering the class shift screen.\r\rThere doesn't seem to be much point to being Normal. I think I'd change that to Lightning and give Lightning attacks like a chain-lightning effect? Or cause lightning to strike down on you whenever you hit something, effectively working as an attack on any bats that might be above you? Or maybe Stone and give the character a temporary health that goes away if they get hit or class-shift again? Just a couple guesses at what might be fun.\r\rFinally, when you're a Big Wizard your attack rate goes way down, which actually tends to *decrease* your DPS. I'd make it so the attack rate goes UP as a Big Wizard, and DOWN as a Small Wizard. That way there's some point to being a Big Wizard.\r\rI'd also make it so the Wizard's attacks curve upward into the air instead of disappearing, so Wizards have a better chance against bats.\r\rJust some thoughts to keep in mind as you flesh this out. This game is legit, and I really hope you build on it from here."},{"author_name":"samlo","author_uid":"88195","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 1:19pm","epoch":1461158040,"text":"I really liked the music, artstyle, and Tempest noises haha. I however don't find the game very playable. Certain class combinations are broken in that they can't damage enemies (I got big-normal-wizard at one point and his magic missiles just flew over enemies heads). The blacksmith minigame feels very out of place - the game might be more fun if it was removed entirely. Almost all the games I played ended with a failure of the blacksmith minigame because its way too much to remember 3 different attribues with 9 different key presses. If you do want to keep that, maybe make it so that instead of killing you, nailing the blacksmith minigame just provides a damage boost or something like that.\r\rOverall I think the game is a cool idea, I just wish it was more distilled."},{"author_name":"SantiHisteria","author_uid":"59433","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 8:34pm","epoch":1461184140,"text":"So funny!
