I found the exploration aspects of it interesting, although rather uneven. Very large areas of the low-tier enemies were cut off except by a very circuitous route that I discovered later, combined with the random improvements made the progression rather frustrating. I went from Defence 1 to 15 after a very long wait. Also, the items at the store always seemed to be out of reach, increasing faster than I could acquire gold. \r\rThat aside, it is an interesting concept, and I think you could do a lot with this. Could use more things to search for, other than just enemies (interesting locations, scenery, etc), although that might take a lot more time to develop than is possible in a competition like this one."},{"author_name":"SirJson","author_uid":"18639","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 10:26am","epoch":1367317260,"text":"Nice game"},{"author_name":"Canyon","author_uid":"6228","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 10:28am","epoch":1367317380,"text":"I liked the art style.

Really love the graphics, but here are things I would change for a post-compo version:\r- Let the player buy upgrades wherever he is, because the backtracking to the base takes often too long.\r- What's the reason for the traps and abyss?
