do you have an HTML version I can't use a zip file on chromebook
I beat 5 in 6
How much health do I have? How much mana do I have? How much health does a bullet take?
At least these should be given and a strategy should be made accordingly. The icons that appear with locks and abilities provide some information but they are not enough. (By the way, you start with 50 mana but I couldn't calculate the health value because of the damage increase in each section.)
Let's say we start with equal Mana and Health and HP/Mana is 50/50.
I started the game and with the upgrades it was like this; I have 50 HP, 1st level +25HP, 2nd level +50HP, 3rd level +100HP = 225HP.
On top of that with +40 armor plate passive and -90 damage (Cathedral bell) 90+40= 130.
As a result, with my 225HP and 130 damage reduction, I went to the 4th place from the bottom on the map: +1 Bullet load, +30% Crt change, Dmg lvl 3 and guess what! I died with the first bullet :)
I can't install it on my phone, it says it's not compatible with my phone (I have s24fe)
Hey, FQteam! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I got so excited and stressed trying to "win" the game but it is more fun when I lose. HAHA. This game got to my favorites!
Also, I spotted some comments in Spanish. What if we localize this to Latam Spanish for free? Hit me up if interested!
The mobile web version needs some work
The Insight ability is busted. It only cost 15MP which is basically nothing.
(honestly, even if it cost 40MP it would still be nothing, especially once u got the 'two domino' item "+66hp and +11mp per safe shot") and there's plenty of other items like +8%mp per trigger pulled.
If u win the game without insight... then I'd truly call u crazy.
Best item? it's the cheap ring that gives +8% item drop per trigger pulled.
PS. I never get to test the ring -100% dmg -75%mp on hit.
Will u really take dmg if u ran out of MP?
I was able to win the game without Insight as a challenge. The strategy involved loading up on reducing damage items and regen skills. Then when health is low go all the way back to the first map square and regenerate health till full, as you sill get regen benefits and loot drops even if you don't get gold or XP.
I really don't like that I have to reload a second bullet if I fire one and require two. Sort of feels like I am being cheated. There were two bullets in it when I started. I should be able to pull it until it makes a complete cycle. Sort of ruined the game for me to find that out.
Overall, the game is pretty fun. I don't like that I can't see my total health and I have no idea how much a single bullet damage does. Makes strategizing around it pretty difficult for no reason. We just have vague numbers like "Bullet Damage Level".
Also, it needs to be more obvious that you have to move on the map to make money. I was trying to make some money on the first level and did many rounds until I realized I wasn't getting any xp or gold, I really didn't understand what was happening.
Loading, spinning, and shooting are pretty intuitive only if you understand how a revolver works. There needs to be some indicators on these to address that you need to do this.
It's not interesting enough to keep playing after the inital few plays. There is no incentive to continue. I have no idea what the goal is and why I should invest time in playing the game.
It doesn't feel like winning if all I am doing is surviving. I already win that challenge the moment I stop playing.
"It can't possibly be the same thing if I roll it again"
Que juego adictivo y estresante en el buen sentido, aún así que mal que descubrí el final de vender el arma cuando me había armado una buena run
I love gambling :
Super addictive... still can't complete the map T-T
I like this game, I am just wondering why the heck each time there is a good item in shop, why is the 2 spins gonna have bullets?
So addicting.
Bro, Aegis with 322 cost... But why it heals only 10% hp? 8.00 leak??
probably the most fun and tense game I've played, took me a couple of tries but once you know what to buy and upgrade, it became easy, all it took is just a high roll at the start to kick the game a notch...
psst, insight is busted.
it was fun at first but then it got repetitve expetually when you would keep dieing in the beginning
this game makes my want to play roulette irl
also when you die theres still a small window where you can still heal, which will cause the game to crash and be stuck on a black screen
fuck the crit
Tel me why, every single time, after I get the heal spell, and I use it, I get double/triple shot and die. This happened three times. The first two were back-to-back shots that killed me. The third was a back-to-back-to-back shot that killed me. fml great game
edit: so it was actually five back-to-back shots to kill me twice :(
Skill issue
I COMPLETED THE WHOLE GAME AND IS IT WARFET I SAY YES
LET'S GO GAMBLING!
x AW DANG
x AW DANG
x *DIEDS*
I ALMOST FINISHED!!!!!!!! RIGHT BEFORE THE FINAL STAGE
I BEAT IT :)
THIS GAME STUPID
( I LOV E THIS)
this couldve been done better, i get a good run and then get shot 3 times in a row. there should be upgrades that persist through run
Dumbest game i ever played, way too much based on good rng, little input required, it's just gambling
It's not once you start to count and apply statistics.
It's russian rulette what did you expect
Отличная игра! Нехватило только кнопки выключения звуков игры.
honestly one of the best, should add more items and levels, would love to see a full version
I think I'm addicted to this game
i am
This game is so good
I really like the game
High mana regen + insight makes it really difficult to lose
I believe it's a bug. It makes more sense for insight to work for a single trigger pull only.
I really want to like this game but there is a lot of times that looks like the "dodging chance" and missfire cahnce fells fake, And I can't really see another strategy that isn't about trying to get as much of thouse as possible
get insight mana regen and a 10 round rvolver
Extremely unique and fun gameplay! 10/10. Would watch a knight shoot himself again.
As a fellow commentor, i must say what you said was quite intreaging.
95% chance of dodging.... get hitted first shot
thats called chance, you are the reason popular games lie about chances
Just a funny remark my guy, I think you missed your shoot
guys how about
we leave the poor man alone (the music is incredible)
You get free money
