I really like this game! I forgot how fun traditional RPGs can be, even with all the turn-based combat and grinding (the satisfaction of defeating a strong opponent, or the rewarding feeling of leveling up).
I appreciate the non-linear approach, though it was sometimes hard to know where to go next (when in doubt, grind). Like, I went into the cave and got my royal butt kicked in one hit by a ghost, got stronger, and beat it in two. That felt great!
The only problem I had was when I refreshed, all my saved progress was wiped T-T (I refreshed because I had left the window open for a while, and the music started overlapping when I went to a new area)
Thank you for the feedback. It's always appreciated.
Yeah, I would like to know why the disappearing save games happens, too. I wonder if itch has an issue with using cookies for save games. I wonder if there is something else I should use in it's place? Perhaps using local storage would work better? I have had no problems with this method of handling the save files on my domain.
... Aaaand I just found a dumb bug. Somehow the Axe weapon's name got replaced with a bunch of candy icons. Oh well. Guess 1.02 will have to show up, soon enough.
... Aaaand for something else fun, it looks like the final leg of the game where you auto-warp to the shrine is broken. Until I patch the update, it appears as though I have a possible variable conflict with itch (which seems odd, since all the game functions are internal). The issue does not on both my local end and on my domain, only here. I did a rename and when I post an update, I'll try it out and see if it works.
(Update: Nope, it was not a problem with itch, but a problem with Chrome browsers. I identified the problem moved some stuff around and now it's fine)
Great game and looking forward to the future of it =) who knows, maybe a livestream or multiple episodes on a longer version. I would check out the chest in the lava dungeon area, down the stair case to the left end. The chest froze my game and unfortunately lost my save file xD another chest in a past recording i tried did the same thing but thats what these play tests are for! working out the kinks for a final product =) keep up the amazing work youre on to something very nice here!
THANK YOU for finding that bug. It got past me. What happens is most text boxes in the game have dialogue ID numbers and the one for saying "You're carrying too much stuff!" was not only the wrong number, but it was well beyond the range of the dialogue, causing the game to freeze. It did not just affect the chest in the lava caves, but all chests in the game, should you have full inventory.
Ok I may give it another go then soon enough and edit in past that point and upload again :) dealing with a power outage ATM but will circle to that at some point and finish what I started :)
I don't know if you will be able to continue the game, though. When I did the update, I lost the save files on my end. It was kinda screwy when I did it, so I can only hope that a) others don't lose their files and b) that will never attempt to do an update that dumb again and just stick with updating the filename as-is (While I have some years of making HTML5 games, I am a total newb to posting them anywhere outside my own domain).
Alright, I 'should' have the save files problem fixed. I moved the method form cookies to local storage, made saves, re-uploaded the project 5 times and the save files were still there.

It should be good, now!

I'll find a way even if I replay it to that point and THEN start recording. I've got no issues and enjoyed the game
