[@FBBReppCloud]

🥰 good Review

[@YourFNGamers]

Thanks!

I’m finding I always return to the hub with no gains. Is that just the way the game starts? Ie you eventually retain scrap? Or is it a bug?

[@YourFNGamers]

I’m pretty sure I always had some form currency from my runs, even from the beginning. The vendor who sells level upgrades is there at the beginning so you should be able to at least spend currency with him.

I’ll persevere thanks. No idea how to switch weapons either :/

The game is basically Dungreed? Check it out. Dungreed has a similar premise. Biomes, pre-gen rooms, random layouts, enemy types per "biome", etc and the hub is exactly the same layout wise. I wouldn't be surprised if they took inspo from the same team.

[@YourFNGamers]

That’s interesting. I’ve never heard of Dungreed but I’ll check it out!

[@ViolenVaymire]

hearing the game is to easy hurts my soul. I could not even make it through the tutorial... Im just below pro level in like every other genre game i play, But sidescrolling platformers... Such an awkward skill set.

[@YourFNGamers]

Like I said, if you’re familiar with this genre I think you’ll find it relatively easy. But if it’s a new genre to you then I could see it being tougher, for sure!

[@ViolenVaymire]

@@YourFNGamers I’m not new to the genre tho. I’ve played many of um. i honestly don’t even like them.. but they are often the only games that feature a female protagonist. It’s the platforming combined with ranged play that ultimately makes it to hard for me. I’m much better at combat focused games. I know there is an invincibility option but that is just a step too far for me.
