Cestus, glove weapon from the merchant, allows you to double jump in air. GL with some of the surprise enemies in the first island, though. Very Happy

Oh yeah, the uppercut is almost like having an additional gem that turns you into a flying squirrel. Looks goofy but it does its job Laughing

I got some hours of entertainment out of this little game thanks to its quality level design (essentially the complete opposite of what the clueless tripeA is doing), however, the whole thing progressively started to get stale for me after the tower/library and the shift-delete queen was summoned. It's one of those cases where I appreciate the idea behind the game more than the game itself.

Almost, but exploring every single corner while also looping through finding out weapon -> test weapon -> level weapon to max made me push through that area. Then after reaching almost the very top of the tower saw a glowing egg in the distance, went for it and managed to land on the border of a ruined little tower right next to it; dropped outside to get the egg and returned it, but was curious about that little tower so made my way back, got on the border again but this time dropped inside, landed in the middle of some three mechanical spiders that kicked my ass for not cycling to my "heal-ables" fast enough.
(micro) rage quit after that because my last save was before turning in that egg I think Crying or Very sad
Regarding the shop, barely sold anything so far and only bought the expensive amulets (well worth it IMO).

GOTY for me so far, the Gothic comparison might be the most accurate one because once you return to that initial area you are one-shoting pretty much every single enemy with ease Very Happy

You can also use those spirit oils to level up a weapon, try it out and then load your game if you don't like the weapon.

I got the bad ending yesterday. I will probably explore the game some more and try to get the decent (good?) ending.

This is a game of extremes.. the well designed levels are REALLY well designed, and the poorly designed ones are just cancerous IMO. Laughing

I am loving this more the deeper I get. I am not into the "Ancient World" (what an unfitting name...) and I get more and more interested.

Difficulty actually gets lower the more you progress. There is an amulet which restores your health over time, and through the meals your HP increase. With the better weapons and throwables it's very easy to get through encounters without using a healing item, and the amulet will get the HP up again before the next fight.
I mean, maybe difficulty picks up again, but honestly I don't mind focusing on the exploration part instead of combat difficulty.

You can sell all Treasures, they aren't doing anything.

Took a couple of tries (and raging) but finally got to the top of the temple, beat the boss's ass and was able to fly around until finding found the cook guy and near him another teleport; still have at least 2 underground areas to explore AYUND the temple interior itself left to explore.
Maybe also finally spend a few coins on store to buy some of the items that aren't that common drops for unfortunately common effects (like the poison cure spit roasted lizards, was hoping to be able to cook those from all the lizards crawling around in the first area but nope).
Also, found out that the game has some secret walls like so

 Spoiler:
 

and I 'member seeing a few of those suspicious skellys elsewhere... time to check every corner while leveling up new weapons and farming whatever items the enemies drop... gonna take quite a while to finish this one Very Happy

Initial areas are the best. Island, fish area, and library, the rest lack variety and are a bit too vast for my taste. Being big is one thing, but there's less variety in arhitecture and enemies as well. Weapons are fantastic though. Not two are the same. Each has some speciality, some even secret upgrades. Probably goty for me as well, but that's not saying much, I've not played many new releases this year. AC Rally is only other game that comes to mind. It came out early in the year, so it's hard to judge now.
