Nah, it's not a scam, JoiPlay is pretty solid. It's legitimately the only way I play my own game now, since my laptop is suuuper slow. It takes a bit to actually get a game on there, you've basically gotta create a separate folder in your phone with the game fully extracted, then select the .exe file when adding a new game from the app, so it pretty much requires you to hook your phone up to a computer and manually set it up, but it's worth it IMO. Still has some bugs though and not every game works on it. But this one does!

I don't know if this has been mentioned by anyone before, but if anyone is curious, this game seems to be fully compatible with JoiPlay. The only exception I've found is one boss fight.
Other than that, it's been fun being able to play this on my phone during my breaks at work. The game... isn't what I was expecting, but it is good. There are quite a few flaws (what game doesn't have them?) but there's a lot that's really well executed and isn't seen often in other games. Enjoying it so far!
When you fight Damien and he takes control of your monster, the game crashes if you beat the monster first. Pretty sure it's the emulator and not the game. Beating Damien before the monster doesn't cause a bug.

Seriously debating this. If only I wasn't working overtime every day until after Christmas. I'd love to do a film noir detective game investigating a hit and run involving a grandmother and a reindeer. Or a courtroom simulation regarding a jolly old stalker who watches people in their sleep.
Hmm...
Hmm...

Genuinely curious why this doesn't have more attention. It looks good. I'll definitely be giving this a try.
What are you thinking about? (game development edition)
Okay, so the musician/band Those Who Ride With Giants has some absolutely PHENOMENAL music, which is atmospheric and inspired by a lot of prog rock bands as well as movie and game scores, and whenever I listen to it I get these visions of a sort of cinematic game-like experience. So, I'm thinking of putting together an atmospheric puzzle platformer, using his music as the soundtrack if I can get his permission to do so. The game would either be non-commercial, or all proceeds would go to him, but basically I just want to take the inspiration his music gives me and give it life. If you haven't heard his music, look it up, it's breathtaking and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
The game itself would use each song as a level soundtrack, with an overarching story that progresses through each album, and could be considered episodic with future episodes and levels released as more music becomes available. Just what I'm thinking about, not sure how the actual execution will go.

I'm tempted to simply not reply, to be honest, as I don't want to come across as rude, but I will simply because this site does have rules and guidelines, one of which relates to double posting. If your messages are only a few hours apart without significantly different content, please consider using the EDIT button to adjust the first post. Additionally, you don't need to quote your own post, and the extra spaces in your post is quite unnecessary. Please try to condense your posts if possible, avoid double posting, and pay close attention to spelling to ensure adequate comprehension for the reader.
That said, I'm glad you made it past the flame puzzles, clearly you were able to work that out. As for the final boss, he's very much possible, assuming you're prepared. I'm considering releasing a video of the final boss battle just to give some tips and strategies for beating him, but I haven't decided yet. Keep trying, maybe adjust the battle settings and see if that helps (because I swear, most of the complaints I get about combat can be fixed with that one thing. I can't stress it enough).

Agent B0rk
Genuinely, my only issue is that the title screen and menu option does not say "Ab0rk mission." And after all those other puns, too.
Love it. 15 minutes well spent.

Uh... No, I won't do that. Maybe take a break and try again later, it's definitely possible and the alternate route will appear if you fail enough times. Just keep trying. My advice, approach it from the left side. It's quite a bit easier from there.

Your counter will not reset, every time you get hit in the third set of butterflies the counter will increase by 1. I can't remember exactly how many times you need to get hit for the alternate path to open up, but it's somewhere between 5 and 10. I think it's 5 times. I don't think I made it too many.
As for new game plus, all your equipment carries over except for mission items and legendary weapons and armours. Anything you can buy from a shop will carry over, as well as gold and certain mission rewards. Skill levels and party members also carry over, and you can freely swap party members any time after training.

Hi, I think I know what you're talking about, but the spelling and lack of punctuation makes it a bit difficult to interpret. If you're talking about during the mission "The Academy," keep trying. If you fail the last portion (with the red butterfly) more than 5 times, an alternate path will appear. You just need to get past the first two sets of butterflies.
If you're talking about the very last dungeon, the same rule applies. If you fail enough times, an alternate path will appear. Just keep trying until you either succeed or the game gives you another option.
