so apparently my common sense stopped sensing for a good 5 minutes because i didn't even HAVE the thought that resetting my computer would wipe my save if i didn't make a backup one. you know what my smooth brain did do tho? backup the game, ONLY the game.
Oh I'm sorry, it seems you enemies were under the impression that you get to attack :)
(This one is a switch-based team with Chip and Skimander as the core based on chip's multi-stun when switched + Krog handing out additional stuns. Also eliminates the pain of having to switch manually.)
I went Hydrim as opposed to Gora because Gora's main heal heals adjacently, which wouldn't really work on this team and at a certain point getting as much healing as possible is more valuable
smth that could also work is giving one of your monsters a Ring of Power (probably for Chip) to quickly accumulate Super and use the Supportive Move to nullify wounds, its a bit of a dangerous approach but could definitely do some wonders
Pretty much the "gain super faster" blessing run-ified, or just the average double Tizik experience. You really weren't lying when you said Tizik was the best for soloing, and i still don't get why Pyris or Chikia are even there (the true MVP of the run really was Haunted 1). And ofc we can't forget the ol' reliable beeg damage Scutter with a Mega Pulverizer (and a fused Harvester with smth else), a classic.
never had i ever thought that getting jumped by some scavengers of all things would end my almost 19 loop run huh, yet here we are (and yes, Urso DID become practically inmortal from like loop 6, thats Gourmand for y'all). "why does the Tuskal have an Iron Will" i figured that defensive synergy would fit better in a build where, you know, 80% of the team were guardians (and unfortunately his damage was nonexistent)
ring of power? it sure does have some (poor Urso sticking in with less than 1% of the damage). huh. who could have thinked that spamming an active that heals the entire team at once and stacks on top of itself would make you nigh inmortal, then there's also Scutter who almost deals half the damage on his own. i absolutely love this game
thank you for making this game, although i do have a lil nitpick: yknow how the game begins to give you rarer items the further you go into the loops right, well at one point the items begin to not actually be useful or outright worse (even if they are legendary) and are practically there only for free aura, not that it's bad i just think maybe there should be a way to get more advanced/evolved items apart from tempering; a good idea i think would be adding either rare or even legendary alts to common items like wind slicer for example (the only item that benefits parra's skill is also a low tier). even if it was just doubling the effect or smth like that it would make the progression so, SO much better in general (also tempering the effects of items should cap out at 5 in infinite runs and *maybe* letting the loops give you more blessings past 6, perhaps?)
even with all of that, this is an amazing game and i hope you continue working on it for some more time!
POV: 2 hydrim, 2 mamu, 2 mudgill, 10000 monsters dead
I abused the egg sense cheap and the nest. dunno if it is a bug but if you put mamu in the nest, there is a chance for 2 of them to spawn at the start of the game. anyways full nature synergy, full bulky synergy, full aquatic synergy, full tactician from spyglass. Also abused the feature where reloading a game reloads events, so guess who has eextremely overpowered legendary +10 equipment :). Basically unkillable.
I've gave this game a try and honestly? Really nice game with many possible strategies and ideas. I like the fact you have to actually carefully think how to place monsters and who should get (and which) item. I definitely didn't do a great job at understanding everything, but I still felt happy with this game!
Im glad you liked it, I definitely wanted to incorporate strategic decisions :D. Theres alot to figure out (and isnt explained very well lol) so dont worry about not picking up on everything right away. Many people dont even realize you can swap monsters mid battle (with a cool down). Gonna watch this over dinner!
I also didn't know it's possible to lose by allowing your monsters to get knocked-out, which also made me lose I think. Not that I created the strongest team comp; I think I understood only basics - and some abilities were annoying for me, because I wanted to hide a monster, when he is low, so he would be a bit safer, but some abilities swap places. I guess I just didn't find good synergies and created a random team comp lol.
So yea, thats "Wounds" system. When a mon gets KO'd you suffer 1 wound. If you reach the limit (2 times your team size on normal difficulty) it's game over. Some events, camping, and healing salves can heal/cause wounds too. Skimander's ability is the one that moves :D yea it can be really challenging if the team isnt built with it in mind. But thats just a learning experience!
why does it reset my village and monster progress yet still keep some of my stats? my aura earned is 9999999 and my food eaten is 9999. is there any way to fix this?
hmm that sounds like your stats file got corrupted, its hard to say what caused it though. If you are playing on browser it might have been interrupted during a save. Does it reset every time you try to play?
Incredibly well designed, reminds me of Pokemon with the collection and evolution mechanics but feeling a little bit more polished and refined. The synergies and monsters are simply so creative, and that's to consider the fact that I've only been able to play the browser version so far and beat it once. I'm incredibly excited to try out the full version. The only suggestion I would have is a tutorial, or an explanation of the stats through an in-game manual or, as said before, a tutorial. But all in all, a really great strategy monster-collecting game.
So elixir does all the potions, the 2 biggest effects you will probably notice from these is Invulnerability and Curing 2 Wounds. Try to use it on a mon that is low hp, and when youve already taking some wounds, or before a final boss uses their super to prevent the damage.
I love this game so god damn much! This is what pokemon should have become. I really love the evolution mechanics and the monster variety and such but it would be nice to introduce an exp system to encourage fighting enemies. Exp could possibly be used to get the final form gem at the mines instead of paying normally. Exp could also be used for other stuff but that's the only thing that comes to mind now. A standard infinite mode which is that the normal mod but with infinite stages would also be lovely because the curses and blessing kinda make the game too stressful in the current infinite mode.
is it optimal to first temper items that you're going to merge to legendary then merge them?
how do you get multiple of the same monster? when I go to the nest and use the aura sense option, it doesn't let me get another monster that I already have in my team
is savescumming normal? for example, reloading when your team dies, or quitting for free shop rerolls, good random events and blessings/curses?
Also, what are some tips for getting farther in endless? I'm finding it very hard to get past even six loops on normal difficulty. I just can't grow the stats of my monsters quickly without campfires, and merging and tempering my items costs me ridiculous amounts of aura that I can't get fast enough before my team crumples to stronger and stronger enemies.
1. for higher rarity items, it is more cost effective to merge them first then temper.
2. There are 2 ways to get duplicate monsters, first with a Nest in the village the monsters can appear twice during starting team selection. The other harder way is go to nests during the run, use egg sense to get a specific monster thats not on your team but do not hatch the egg. Since it is still not on your team, you can keep repeating this at more nests until you have as many duplicates as you want. Then hatch all of the eggs.
3. Save scumming is up to personal preference. I intentionally didnt try to limit it that much because ultimately its a little single player game for fun, so if thats something you want to do go for it!
4. 6 loops is pretty good for endless! Beyond that youll want to start seeking out the really strong combos (whether its items, synergies or mosnters). Consider selling food such as Calcarrots if your team's main strat isnt Int based. Also Forge Sparks from the Desolate Forge event are pretty important for really broken builds.
I'm glad youre enjoying it, sorry for the late response
i love this game, but i was wondering how to cast each monsters super move. is it just active when for example Kabu takes 100% damage? but then Kabus super says it is only active for a short time.
Thank you, thats correct! There are 4 types of supers too, its based on the type of the monster you use it (Aggressive, Defensive, Technical or Support)
I have gotten Gheist's mana recharging faster then his normal attack, he has 25 speed, but only 15 mana needed to cast and he recharges it at 9/s, and I just got that weapon that increases its mana regen every time it attacks so now its pretty much instant. wait is 15 mana the lowest it can go and it can only get to 23/s regen?
That's disappointing, I was going for a max of 0 Mana with some huge number for regen. Right now I am on loop 7 on a Calamity run and hanging on by the tips of my fingers.
Yes, though not soon. Im working on a steam version for the game with a ton of new stuff. (I post some teasers of the new stuff on the discord dev log channel!) Kara has been 3 def.
Welcome back! Currently, probably Tizik. Storm Chaser is kinda op right now lol, and the Elemental synergy will help them survive to reach the 3rd form. An item with some Str and HP to start goes a long way too.
Hello Jay, I'm having an issue running the web version of the game on Google Chromebook. this was not the case before. is it maybe because i reset my cookies? it gets stuck on the loading icon almost done bet never moves after 30 minutes.
that is an issue that can happen with unity. usually clearing your cookies/cache should fix it though... You can test if the cache is the issue by trying to open it in incognito mode, which basically treats it as if youve never opened it before.

I love this game so much! I have spent hours playing and i'm still finding new things, great game. cant wait till the next patch.
im glad you are still having fun, there will be lots more to discover once its done :D
What level do stats max out at btw?
999 for everything besides hp and mana. hp is 99999 and mana is 15
so apparently my common sense stopped sensing for a good 5 minutes because i didn't even HAVE the thought that resetting my computer would wipe my save if i didn't make a backup one. you know what my smooth brain did do tho? backup the game, ONLY the game.
this is me rn
i'll replay when the new patch releases :')
oh no, restarting *shouldnt* clear the save, unless there is some automatic cookie/cache clearing going on
i think i misworded lol, i mean resetting in the way that i literally installed a new OS xd
oh ha yea that'd do it. Saves are located in AppData/LocalLow/JaysGames if you ever need to back them up in the future
ok thx dude
(This one is a switch-based team with Chip and Skimander as the core based on chip's multi-stun when switched + Krog handing out additional stuns. Also eliminates the pain of having to switch manually.)
Going all out on the switch build, love it. seras makes skim hit pretty hard too. Did you use a radiant aurite on krog?
Yup!
this would basically be a single-target permastun if you included Gora into the mix xd
I went Hydrim as opposed to Gora because Gora's main heal heals adjacently, which wouldn't really work on this team and at a certain point getting as much healing as possible is more valuable
smth that could also work is giving one of your monsters a Ring of Power (probably for Chip) to quickly accumulate Super and use the Supportive Move to nullify wounds, its a bit of a dangerous approach but could definitely do some wonders
Cast Cost? hardly know er'

:hydrimtank:
I see you increased the difficulty too, even more impressive
yea :D

"why does the Tuskal have an Iron Will" i figured that defensive synergy would fit better in a build where, you know, 80% of the team were guardians (and unfortunately his damage was nonexistent)
Poison can get pretty scary if you win fast, but its good to experiment with different builds :D poor urso tho :c
also, hydrim tear (if urso wanted to he could've taken the whole void army on his own but his team was holding him back :c)
aw lol I had seen the tear but didnt realize it was hydrim
xd
ring of power? it sure does have some (poor Urso sticking in with less than 1% of the damage). huh. who could have thinked that spamming an active that heals the entire team at once and stacks on top of itself would make you nigh inmortal, then there's also Scutter who almost deals half the damage on his own. i absolutely love this game
Teamwork is just as important as damage :D glad you are having fun, thats a great run
thank you for making this game, although i do have a lil nitpick: yknow how the game begins to give you rarer items the further you go into the loops right, well at one point the items begin to not actually be useful or outright worse (even if they are legendary) and are practically there only for free aura, not that it's bad i just think maybe there should be a way to get more advanced/evolved items apart from tempering; a good idea i think would be adding either rare or even legendary alts to common items like wind slicer for example (the only item that benefits parra's skill is also a low tier). even if it was just doubling the effect or smth like that it would make the progression so, SO much better in general (also tempering the effects of items should cap out at 5 in infinite runs and *maybe* letting the loops give you more blessings past 6, perhaps?)
even with all of that, this is an amazing game and i hope you continue working on it for some more time!
thanks, I always enjoy hearing feedback. Also I am currently working on the biggest patch to date! Still some time til its ready though
ain't no way bro, a new update?!?! this is gonna be the best game ever!
there are some teasers in the discord
This team is busted, i haven't had even remotely close to scare up to this point lol
now thats a bulky team
What do the different colored monsters do?
The alternate appearances for the player monsters you get from completing their quests? They are just fun little variations to mix it up a little
This game is cool. Wish i could more of this types of games.
thank you, me too :D

Love the design and everything of the game. Will there be more updates coming?
thanks, and yea! Slowly but surely working on the biggest update so far. life has a way of getting in the way of things sometimes though.
I wish you the best man! I hope you get a chance to put some time into it and please hit me up closer to the release! I would love to cover it!
theindiebuffet@gmail.com
thanks, that would be awesome! In the mean time too, I post little previews in the discord and will definitely announce it there (and here) as well

thanks
back with my heavy hitters team(chip casting super once per second with momentum)
How does the super faster blessing work?
it causes all of your monsters go add more to the super meter (+20% more super generated from attacking/casting/taking damage depending on archetype).
Oh, I thought it added a faster game speed. A short description would be nice.
holy shit i spent a lot of time on this game. i bet many others too.
O: Thats a great loop count, well done!
I love this game so god damn much! This is what pokemon should have become. I really love the evolution mechanics and the monster variety and such but it would be nice to introduce an exp system to encourage fighting enemies.

i love this game, but i was wondering how to cast each monsters super move. is it just active when for example Kabu takes 100% damage? but then Kabus super says it is only active for a short time.
nvm i found out. you have to use the ball the first boss gives you on one of your monsters.
Thank you, thats correct! There are 4 types of supers too, its based on the type of the monster you use it (Aggressive, Defensive, Technical or Support)
I really love Woad but why it limit damg only 999 ;-;
Only Str is limited, you can boost dmg in other ways such as Pulverizer or Finisher
I have gotten Gheist's mana recharging faster then his normal attack, he has 25 speed, but only 15 mana needed to cast and he recharges it at 9/s, and I just got that weapon that increases its mana regen every time it attacks so now its pretty much instant. wait is 15 mana the lowest it can go and it can only get to 23/s regen?
those are the caps yep!
That's disappointing, I was going for a max of 0 Mana with some huge number for regen. Right now I am on loop 7 on a Calamity run and hanging on by the tips of my fingers.
i mean you could abuse hydrim’s refresh instead of going for higher mana regen 🤷♂️
I was just doing it for fun. (and I did not have Hydrim)
i have chip getting 15 mana per second and casting super with momentum instantly
anyone knows how to get mamo animal, i tried so much egg hatch but no mamo her
Edit: i mean mamu one
mamu you can get by having a empty building related to monsters
its a specific tier 3 building, and you will know as soon as you start a new run if you did the correct one.
thanks jay and silverwolfz too
I got the empty gate and starts so much runs but there is no special monsters ;-;
sorry he meant build a building but dont put any mons on it
(its the Nest lvl 3)
tsym, i finally got my daddy mamu
started with chip and kabu and now on loop 6 easily
edit: right after i posted that my team got massacared by 4 adepts
Does having all the pacts from that snake do anything?
Not that I know of
try finding the snake 1 more time after :D
Thanks for the hint.
When 2 adepts sidestep at the same time it looks like 3 now
theyre moving too fast to follow O:
came back to it after a break and i love it
I recommended this to my friend and he insisted he wouldn't like it
I made him try it and now he's hooked :)
thank you for spreading the word, it really helps
Is there a point when Monster-Equipment Fusion Sparks stop showing up because I haven't seen a single one and I'm on loop 9
they never stop appearing but they do only show up in the (Glacier/Volcano/Wasteland) Zone
do they show up on forges or random events
Random Events (?) only
thanks!
I built a healer team using 3 Parra each holding a Radiant Tome + Ring Of Power to make my Karakai invincible and now I'm cackling like a maniac
Edit: and both my Karakai and my Kabu are holding Heavy Shackles for the Bulky 2 synergy for maximum tank
Second Edit: The Karakai are moving at light speed at this point despite the speed penalty I saw one get to like 900 speed
Zooom
Will this game be getting any more updates?
Edit: Did Karakai get buffed from 2 defense to 3 per Shelled stack?
Yes, though not soon. Im working on a steam version for the game with a ton of new stuff. (I post some teasers of the new stuff on the discord dev log channel!)
Kara has been 3 def.
Para is arguably better with a different active skill because it no longer loses its stacks of Zephyr
Edit: also Karakai is the best tank change my mind
parra has alot of different strats :D
also just as pure tanking Slagg can prob take the most dmg, but Kara is very good too
hey jay, after a break im back and i was wondering what is the strongest monster and synergies for running solo
Welcome back! Currently, probably Tizik. Storm Chaser is kinda op right now lol, and the Elemental synergy will help them survive to reach the 3rd form. An item with some Str and HP to start goes a long way too.
okay thanks

yep still resource bug ;D guess what guys i got 50 wood 50 stone and 9 obsidan what should i spend that on
is there still the resource bug :D
hi guys im back :D
