Safety: Life Is A Maze

You didn't tell me if there is any benefit from putting items into the box. Or is that a secret?

I'll check out the new version when I have time.

Heyho, I'm back. I played again to the same spot I was at. This time I wrote everything down I noticed

Here are some suggestions:
1. How about setting Mina's HP to the max number of hearts, then you can see it on the save screen.
2. There are warnings that there are spikes stuck in the killing position, but there are actually no such spikes.
3. If you have 11 or more lives it shows 99 lives instead. If you lose a life you're back at 10.
4. On the first tribute when you back it, the skull of the demon remains. On the second tribute it doesn't.
5. The first boss doesn't move after it walked one step. I think it's intended to move further, but I'm not sure on that one.
6. The walls are still missing, it's right where you moved that really hard monster out of the way. There you climb the tower and you can walk left/right on the tower tiles (the suns will also fly there). If you're going to fix that you will probably want to remove one or two suns, though, since if they don't fly away through the missing walls it will get pretty crowded there.
7. On the second level, there are two paths to the south that lead to the same place, but you can't get back, to the very south-eastern place, is that intended? Also there are two doors but only one key, however if you open one of the two doors the other door will be gone too.
8. Did you really make combat easier? Because that enemy that caused me trouble is still as hard - I mean the one right after the maid shop. If you go north you will be in a larger room and top-right there is a strong enemy in the way that doesn't move. You can usually defeat that but it will hit you 3 times that means if can take 0-9 hearts. Often I have to restart because it took too much damage because of bad luck.
9. Generally the further I play the more immobile monsters are there, I feel it would be more fun if some of them had certain movement patterns so there is some strategy to get past them (just like the small bulls).

Hope it helps!

I love the look of this project. Subbed.

All I get when I try to run this is a black screen that I can't alt-tab or ctrl-alt-delete my way out of. Super-annoying, but I guess it's a rpgmaker problem. If possible, maybe have the game default to running in a window instead of fullscreen?

Anyways, the game itself looks intriguing. Hope to be able to play it :)

Are there really that many bugs? I mean the ones you mentioned are already reported by me earlier, but other than those I didn't really find there to be that many (on an RMN standard).
That it all depends on randomness is true, moga already fixed the biggest issues in version 1.2, though. Be happy you haven't seen version 1.0 (or did you?). Gotta continue 100 times at least in hope to be lucky enough to beat stronger monsters standing in the way.
The game still depends a bit on skill, however. After I finished a board once, all my following playthroughs went a lot smoother. I mean c'mon "I'm scared of girls" was a lot more luck dependent unless you used the save/retry "trick". =p

Well, I told you most of the things I'd like to see via PM already. I'm actually sad that you already want to move on to the next project without having perfected this one, but let's see how version 1.3 will be like.
For me the thing I would like to see the most is that all monsters could be avoided somehow by learning their movement patterns and there are hardly any monsters (if any at all) that always stand in the way or that can easily be walked around. Make the game fully depend on player skill rather than luck, especially on the ability to understand monster movement and find ways to avoid getting attacking by one. If you manage that and let the game end up with really tricky rooms where you need a while to figure out how to move through it alive, then the game would be perfect.

What tatsunical said about additional spells is true as well, there would be quite many spells that could add to the strategy of such a game like speed boost, time stop, invincibility and scare spells.

I'm not sure if it'll be for this game, but I really see that your games could generally go into such a direction. You have the ability to think up a really good basic plot idea and you want to make scary and mysterious games out of that which works quite well already. You can also draw really well and have an awesome and unique style. Now you just need to somehow manage to turn the randomness in your games into strategy and you will make quite awesome games.
