I can’t seem to run this. I get a message explaining that it’s in beta and then it fades away, leaving me with a black screen…

I love this game, but I’m only able to play its previous versions because I am running through wine on a macbook. when I try to open this new version, it says, cabinet not valid. I would love if you made a port or if you have any tips on how to fix this. As for the game itself, I agree that the spikes need to be nerfed, and I think that you also need to balance the weapons more. I find that the nail gun becomes extremely powerful with power ups and decimates everything. I got to level 15 before the game crashed on me. The TNT cannon is interesting, but I usually end up killing myself with it trying to fight enemies close to walls. The harpoon gun and drills are good, but they simply can’t compare to the nail gun. I also liked switching characters in the previous versions, please bring that back. Also, different stats for each character would be an interesting twist as well. I don’t know if I’m missing any parts of the game since I haven’t unlocked them, as i’ve only been able to play on friends’ computers. As for the huge drills coming after you, I think they’re a nice addition so as to discourage grinding on easy levels, but the game could use a little bit of a story, at least something to explain the bosses and huge drills. Other than that, it’s an amazing game I look forward to when it comes out on steam.

In reply to Calum ‘Hairy’ Fraser.

Thx. I’m currently at lev 29 with approx 7000 health. Nothing much can withstand 20 or so drills with all the explosion/gas/electro/size-buffs you could ask for.

2 questions: 1) Is the increased gravity a result of the number of pickups or the depth and does it have a max limit. Currently i get about 1/2 line height for each jump. 2) Is the purple mobs, drill boss and the golden chests the current top tier or are there more? If not; do you plan to implement more/higher level stuff?

Looking forward to this games final release. :)

Love the game. Very reminiscent of Risk of Rain. I think you should probably nerf the floorspikes since those are the ones that kill the player about 75% of the time. It’s kind of frustrating when you are around lev 20~ and can deal with the mobs, even though it’s a challenge, only to see you character die in less than a second because the floor spikes were covered by gems. Either lower the hit/frame ratio or the damage. Perhaps a fixed “always 10% of the health” or something?

Again, great game. :)
