I completely agree Lady JJ! I'd sacrifice a level to have the traps disappear

An alternative approach we are thinking of taking is to just simply make it easier to do the puzzle after a few failures. Rather than sacrificing levels or items, we feel it's better to reward the player rather than punish them for playing/proceeding.

I like this idea. I am never opposed to trying something hard, but after 15 tries, it gets disheartening.

Thanks for listening to your players!

thank you

Completely agree! Hate these types of things. Too old and slow for them. I did eventually make it but it took many tries and lots of frustrated screaming and cussing.

Get ready cause there is a worse one coming up!

Game developers:

The game needs way more save points. Preferably menu save option. If you get killed in a battle, it may take 2 hours or more to get back to where you died. Also, some of us have lives outside gaming and to have to quit to do things in RL is just painful.

You also need more places to buy potions and the like. I just killed by the Treasure Hunting Troll. I had used up a lot of my potions with the traps. Went into the battle with NO AP. The last chance to buy potions before this battle was when we were Mage in town.

Consider giving the option to play at a lower level for us older folks that no longer have the ability to move as quickly as younger people.

Thanks for the "real time" prison corridor comments. I do not like these type of challenges, so I won't be buying it now. Playing a game is supposed to be FUN. Otherwise it would be called ... work. I agree with the save points. I don't always have an hour without maybe having to stop and actually do something constructive. I'm not that old, but I play to relax and procrastinate.

Did you find the 4th slime yet? I don't recall exactly where they were, and, at the time, I just thought they were randomly placed. I do remember they are visible, so keep looking around.

Oh, and don't sell all your regular goo. You might find a need for some later.

No, I didn't find the fourth one yet. I have been in and out now at least ten times but I can't find the last one. So I move on with the game and return later (I hope) to try again. I have a whole lot of Goo Mush left now .

Sunday: I tried again to find the forth slime again a dozen times. Nope . I bought the game (was playing the demo) in the hope that it was just a glitch but no... So it must be something that I overlook or do wrong. I leave it for now in the hope that the cook doesn't have something that I need somewhere else in the game!
Still love to play the game :-)!
Thanks anyway for tryng to help me !

Down-Up-Up-Up-Up will bring you to the ladder that leads to the castle storage room. This is not necessary if you've already accessed the castle with the pop singer.

Up-Up-Up-Down-Up brings you to the treasure chest.

Hey everyone!

Note that B2 of Rivale Cave will change based on what form you are. It's a different layout. That might give you a hint.

I have completed the trial cave, and gone to the academy area. After fighting our way through the town of Availia, now find myself as Mage outside the town, on my own, town gates are closed and the only person is the sales girl who says I will need to go north via Rivale.

Have tried to do that, but they will not let me pass and do not trigger a fight. Nowhere else to go - despite having checked everywhere and going back over the trial cave system - what am I suppoed to do? What am I missing?



EDIT:
It's ok - I have found that one needs to click on the gate - not the guards!
Have got into the gatehouse now.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! All the extra save points have made a frustrating game very enjoyable! I will be purchasing the full game now.

HOW DO I DOWNLOAD THE PATCH IF I ALREADY BOUGHT THE GAME

It's not a patch. Just install it over the old version. Works perfectly!

Need help at the Abandoned Path! Been stuck here for hours. I found and placed one plank for the Shop Keeper, but can't locate the second plank to be able to cross the bridge. You are confined in a small area and I searched and clicked everywhere. What am I missing?
