I think this is the limit of the cursed sword, more energy would have maybe gotten me to floor 14 or 15, got the sword and 8 curses on 2nd floor. Hopefully there will be more game before endless mode in the future.
im so sad, i absolutely love this game and i was going to do the 30 dollar pledge and when i went to do it i found that the kickstarter had been stopped :( guess ill wait 10 months to try any of the updated stuff, really sucks bc a bigger backpack changes the game so drastically and it feels like the kickstarter didnt last long enough
basically whatever effect your weapon or item applies it will apply it to adjacent weapons. For instance if you have a relic that applies poison to all weapons in a row (poison whetstone) you can put duct tape in that row and it will also apply it to the weapons you placed above and below it 1 space. Particularly dangerous with cleavers and shield relic. Doing 130k plus on the first turn of round 1
Just beat Grandmaster with a slime sword build. The key to making the Bomb relic work is buffing the swords with Whetstone and / or Soldier's Buckler so you can kill enemies in two or three hits tops. You need to survive a few turns so reforging the shield with Haste and wearing Archangel armor would be useful, maybe having an HP wand or mushroom soup w/ consumables too
arrow and wand gets +1 damage from connected manastones, armor gives you 1 dodge/turn and helmet adds 1 dodge per combat. saving the cleaver so that i can exchange it with archery kit later
Quite an unfortunate run yet still the farthest I've gone since the last update. Despite carrying at least 1 ring for most of the run and fighting every single battle available, I never really got much out of it. One single forge event for rage, no cleaver event, failed to get queen cleaver from the wheel, no mirror shield or duct tape or hercule pavise, one single hat, and no windmill. Oh well, better luck next time.
a assassin's dagger run with the stacks but this is as far as i can go i guess. The poisons and burns from the snakes, bats, and fire geckos. To the people who knows how to deal with poisons and burns from floor 13+, please help me this is getting out of hands ;-;
Will there be any way for those who missed out on the kick starter to purchase an early access steam key? I really want to support the development of this and didn't get the chance to via kick starter.
Looking for tips on how to optimize this build as well as what to look for going forward
I've finally gotten an endless cleaver run of the ground and decided that I'd do something a bit different from the norm. Rather than going all out on the cleaver duct tap, I'm running emerald bracelet alongside it. The theory here is that although I miss a lot of damage, the idea behind this is that with 16 energy I can scale far enough with belt of knives and rage build up to overtake the three or four turns most other cleaver builds.
Few Things:
-I don't really know how important cleaver placement is with so much duct tape, if it is an someone explain
-I know having two vampiric crystals is unnecessary but king still scares me stupid so I'll get rid of it later
-I'm still waiting on the last emerald bracelet, I don't plan to expand energy from there
Can anyone tell me whether hourglass affects beserker club self damage? Because if it does, I may have thought up a way to beat everything indefinitely.
I think I found a bug. Once you die or make a mistake or whatever, you can quit the game and then press the continue game button. This will respawn you at the beginning of that floor or where ever you saved your game on that floor.
It lets you check what random events are ( You save right before and then go into it. Then you see what it is and do this bug. That event will never change so when you go back to it after doing this, it will be the same. ) It also lets you test out builds without the risk of death.
Managed to beat the game for the first time with this build! (got the ore artifact thing after beating game btw) Now I'm trying my first endless run. I have a lot of trouble with mage and archer runs, please give tips! many thanks in advance...
biggest tip to mana builds (imo) is to always have cleansing wand or regen wand to counter poison and for archer builds is to get massive block and/or a lot of buffs to arrows (my fav setups are bombstone, dumbell, glass bottle, archer's wand for massive bow damage for mana, or shield spirit, stopwatch, hercule pavise x2 or more, and some pretty anklets for MASSIVE block on turns 2+... only tried the first setup as of rn tho)
There's a relic that would cause it to add rage, or the seasoning accessory which gives adjacent consumables +5 healing when used. But on its own it has no use.
you can also use things like the scimitar which gets stronger the more things that're destroyed next to it, and things like chainmail which gives more block the more things that're destroyed next to it. this allows you to scale block and damage at the same time with just spaming log and smoking the herb
It has use for the potion cauldron, as well as any other items that get bonuses on destruction. It's not better than any other consumable that provides benefits like the fish, but it does have use.
You can use the oak wood (herb creation for 1 energy) + potion cauldrons to make potions every turn, and if you face a weak enough enemy you can get infinite potions (with enough armor scaling so you can live). Then you can get the potions that give you items, which can give you golden whetstones, which can get you infinite damage. That being said, not worth the effort. But it's fun to do once.
depends on what item you're using the gold whetstone for lol. If it's something that scales infinitely like the assassins dagger, and you get this combo early enough you can go hundreds of floors with like 10 or more gold whetstones.
mf may be drunk but he still kicks hella ass. Good build, only thing I think could improve dmg wise would be a gem that gives damage for weapons in the column. (I think it's paradot? idk it's a green gem...) Putting it to the left of belt of knives would give you a small boost to the damage of your empty cups, though I don't know what your stats are/were so you were probably well built.
Wait until their coins are exhausted and their shivs are gone. Also, their golden shiv is a good source of gold. If they were to get bombstone, even 60 gold wouldn't kill King, and you would need 75 for Grandmaster. Plus, both of them summon minions. So you would need even more gold.
paradot does +1 poison to adjacent weapons, -1 damage to adjacent weapons, the right gem for increasing damage is diamond (+2 to adjacent and diagonal weapons) or even better, ruby (+4 to adjacent weapons).
shield spirit: shields use adjacent weapons on use BUT give them -1dmg this combat seems bad BUT you add another relic stopwatch: on use weapons get +1dmg this combat
I've got a question. What's the %chance for the fox to just give you the Fox Raiper (is that how you spell it? oh gosh-) when you choose the "I'm a foe!" option? I had it happen once {no screenshots, sorry. Also won't let me post a picture for whatever reason, says something about character limit.} and was wondering if it was like a super extremely mega ultra rare thing.
fixed the question: do respect your mental health enough to endure hours of watching 11 cleavers get repeatedly used until any enemy that stands in your path perishes?
Generally this happens from one of the relics, such as the weight, mouse wood, or bottle. Each one has a different restriction that it places on certain items. If you hover over them, they will tell you on the top if they're disabled.
One visual glitch which I think is pretty weird. For some reason when I spin the wheel then if I spam click the spin button then it says I have a free spin but it takes away 3 coins from me. The same is with money. When I spam click the 3 coin to spin button then I get to spin the wheel but it shows the price is still 3 but when I clicked the spin button it instead took 6 coins from me.

This is a really fun game! I will definitely check this out on steam when it releases!
im so sad, i absolutely love this game and i was going to do the 30 dollar pledge and when i went to do it i found that the kickstarter had been stopped :( guess ill wait 10 months to try any of the updated stuff, really sucks bc a bigger backpack changes the game so drastically and it feels like the kickstarter didnt last long enough
Just wanted to see what the damage was on turn 1.
So how exactly does duct tape work cause its not particularly obvious to me you cant really buff it
basically whatever effect your weapon or item applies it will apply it to adjacent weapons. For instance if you have a relic that applies poison to all weapons in a row (poison whetstone) you can put duct tape in that row and it will also apply it to the weapons you placed above and below it 1 space. Particularly dangerous with cleavers and shield relic. Doing 130k plus on the first turn of round 1
much appreciated thx
This was a fun Xbox poison build to negate the 50% damage reduction. Maybe should've dropped the mana and short arrow but not too sure :)
Just beat Grandmaster with a slime sword build. The key to making the Bomb relic work is buffing the swords with Whetstone and / or Soldier's Buckler so you can kill enemies in two or three hits tops.

had a lot of fun playing this mage archer build.
arrow and wand gets +1 damage from connected manastones, armor gives you 1 dodge/turn and helmet adds 1 dodge per combat. saving the cleaver so that i can exchange it with archery kit later
died from poison though
Quite an unfortunate run yet still the farthest I've gone since the last update.

ultimate scaling build
You need shield spirit to use assassin's dagger for 1 energy. Also golden wet stones to exponentially scale your dagger.
You also can use items and relics to remove poison. When using shield try to get items that build haste.
i finally finish the game for all this time i dont know what to use and what to attack so my run was very messy.
Will there be any way for those who missed out on the kick starter to purchase an early access steam key? I really want to support the development of this and didn't get the chance to via kick starter.
Same I was a day late in getting to back this.

I need some more confirmation than this but I saw a comment that says yes https://itch.io/post/5848856
Welp someone already thought of it
https://itch.io/post/5859846/
Can I seriously not buy this game until next year?
I think I found a bug. Once you die or make a mistake or whatever, you can quit the game and then press the continue game button. This will respawn you at the beginning of that floor or where ever you saved your game on that floor.
i already know this but its like barly helps it can save you tho if you did a rong move
It lets you check what random events are ( You save right before and then go into it. Then you see what it is and do this bug. That event will never change so when you go back to it after doing this, it will be the same. ) It also lets you test out builds without the risk of death.
I don't think it's a bug, more like a check point feature.
A lot of hats, can you count them all? ;)
Ps: It's 4 hats, a bit underwhelming tbh.
I know my setup is bad, don't judge me. :)
AYO WHAT , THIS is My BEST start yet
archangel armor from matthew is busted
I just wantesd to know... 999 SHD is MAX! And i reached Floor 16 first time, with this build and died because of poison...
I present you the shield hero build. Got to floor 18 with this
Managed to beat the game for the first time with this build! (got the ore artifact thing after beating game btw) Now I'm trying my first endless run. I have a lot of trouble with mage and archer runs, please give tips! many thanks in advance...

thank you so much!
is it just me or does a herb has no use
There's a relic that would cause it to add rage, or the seasoning accessory which gives adjacent consumables +5 healing when used. But on its own it has no use.
3 seasonings + sandwich relic = OP herb (45hp healing I believe? lol)
you can also use things like the scimitar which gets stronger the more things that're destroyed next to it, and things like chainmail which gives more block the more things that're destroyed next to it. this allows you to scale block and damage at the same time with just spaming log and smoking the herb

Then you can get the potions that give you items, which can give you golden whetstones, which can get you infinite damage. That being said, not worth the effort. But it's fun to do once.
depends on what item you're using the gold whetstone for lol. If it's something that scales infinitely like the assassins dagger, and you get this combo early enough you can go hundreds of floors with like 10 or more gold whetstones.
That being said, you just need a boss that only attacks once (the rooster does this) and the ninja suit to pull this off really.
I'm really bummed I missed out on the Kickstarter for this!! Is there any way you guys would be willing to go for, like, $15 on steam early access??
Floor 100 : I see no end to this build (approximately 90 000 damage turn 1 ) just gotta find more Crowns/Curse to go even further beyond !
Sharing to inspire community :)
how is the lag with it?
I get massive lag with cleaver or mana builds after about floor 13
I would argue you have one of the best arrows!
Beat the game as a bartender, only item I was missing was a piggy bank
mf may be drunk but he still kicks hella ass.
Good build, only thing I think could improve dmg wise would be a gem that gives damage for weapons in the column. (I think it's paradot? idk it's a green gem...) Putting it to the left of belt of knives would give you a small boost to the damage of your empty cups, though I don't know what your stats are/were so you were probably well built.
He needs the bomb relic to make this exceptional.
Why would you want bombstone? It would literally do nothing and probably make them lose because it would destroy their weapons.
Their beer would become a legitimate weapon.
Wait until their coins are exhausted and their shivs are gone. Also, their golden shiv is a good source of gold. If they were to get bombstone, even 60 gold wouldn't kill King, and you would need 75 for Grandmaster. Plus, both of them summon minions. So you would need even more gold.
paradot does +1 poison to adjacent weapons, -1 damage to adjacent weapons, the right gem for increasing damage is diamond (+2 to adjacent and diagonal weapons) or even better, ruby (+4 to adjacent weapons).
I think he means the emerald gem.
BTW- Thank you for making the Sage Toads cowardly!
stupid question but how do you use the arrows without a bow?
shield spirit: shields use adjacent weapons on use BUT give them -1dmg this combat
seems bad BUT you add another relic
stopwatch: on use weapons get +1dmg this combat
very good way to block and kill at the same time
Run died I think on somewhere between floor 16-18, forgot
I've got a question. What's the %chance for the fox to just give you the Fox Raiper (is that how you spell it? oh gosh-) when you choose the "I'm a foe!" option? I had it happen once {no screenshots, sorry. Also won't let me post a picture for whatever reason, says something about character limit.} and was wondering if it was like a super extremely mega ultra rare thing.
it happened to me twice when i just wanted the exp so not very
I am pretty sure you have to have cleared everything else on that map for him to give it to you, as I have only gotten it after I had done that
beat thegame w this
Same, I didn't even know there was a kickstarter until the day after it ended and I am bummed I missed it.
Is there any chance that those of us who missed the Kickstarter might be able to purchase an Early Access steam key?
Same question, I'd be ready to pay extra if thats what it takes tbh
really fun run, but no candle and no rags all game :(
Should I stop here?
fixed the question: do respect your mental health enough to endure hours of watching 11 cleavers get repeatedly used until any enemy that stands in your path perishes?
Is the cleansing wand broken now? Tried it several times against a blademaster (7 spikes, 3 regen) and it did nothing.
Sadly killed again by poisen...27 every second round is to op in my opinion :p
Also not really lucky with Cleaver drops :(
But always fun to play this gem of a game :)
Why is it that when I attack the animation happens but no damage happens? Is it a bug or something.
If you're an archer and your arrows are disabled, this can happen.
How do i undisable them?
Generally this happens from one of the relics, such as the weight, mouse wood, or bottle. Each one has a different restriction that it places on certain items. If you hover over them, they will tell you on the top if they're disabled.
One visual glitch which I think is pretty weird. For some reason when I spin the wheel then if I spam click the spin button then it says I have a free spin but it takes away 3 coins from me. The same is with money. When I spam click the 3 coin to spin button then I get to spin the wheel but it shows the price is still 3 but when I clicked the spin button it instead took 6 coins from me.
Don't really get how spikes killed me when I'm using magic, but whateva
This is because of a Robot Toy
It happened to me too
First time beating the game, that's as far as I got :P Couldn't get past the snake though, that poison damage is crazy
I'm enjoying this game way more than I thought I would, the concept is great and I can only see it getting better from here.
Looking forward to finding the perfect inventory setup :)
