Then possess their corpses to get tougher and take on the next tier of enemies.<br /><br />(In what I consider an actual game balance bug, defeating even the bottom tier enemies as exposed phage isn't 100 % certain because of randomness. Your feedback for losing the fight in your initial form is a game over, so things should be pretty deterministic at the starting level.)Risto Saarelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818931835468128225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12003737521893278.post-3400644483641562632015-03-25T23:57:35.976-04:002015-03-25T23:57:35.976-04:00Hi Risto.

And I have played a lot of times.<br /><br />When I did get to avoid the enemies for a while, I liked the perspective in the game. Is that 2 and a half dimensions? Reminds me of the Zaxxon video game.Legend of Angbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049943271218398553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12003737521893278.post-835042777355488462015-03-25T23:54:14.978-04:002015-03-25T23:54:14.978-04:00Vedrl - thanks for the hint.

Normally I get to find enemies quickly and start beating them up in Roguelikes. Sounds like NoirRL is a different story. By the way, the NoirRL name sounds very cool.Legend of Angbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049943271218398553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12003737521893278.post-25876921239243392722015-03-25T04:54:38.699-04:002015-03-25T04:54:38.699-04:00Thanks for the feedback on Phage.

I now realize that I should've made the window start out bigger based on the user's monitor resolution, it can be resized to make the graphics bigger but this isn't obvious, and to add a HUD that will highlight the currently too strong creatures so that the player will know they'll need to power up before taking on them.Risto Saarelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818931835468128225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12003737521893278.post-81134869678353999672015-03-25T01:57:22.860-04:002015-03-25T01:57:22.860-04:00Hi!

If you would try this game, I can tell that lasts (I hope) minor bugs are fixed and I wrote 'hint' in readme - like 'how to start'. On table in your home is phone ('%'). Use them often :) First - listen the kindappers. Later call to police and go to ny police office. Talk to policeman, solve riddle (first case is very simple and a little ridiculous, just go through maze). Talk to policeman, get cash, back to home, call to police in Nashville, etc.<br />Greets, VedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
