You played less than an hour and you think upgrades are too expensive and are already making assumptions about how many you can get?
And I thought the game didnt have NG+?

They don't? That's kinda disappointing. I was hoping the warp points would work as bonfires
I thought they did too but I just tested it and my medicine didn't restock. It seems like it's possible to accidentally trigger a boss fight with very little medicine on hand. Bad news.
That medicine upgrade seems especially useless if you can't farm it.

The
minigame is like a boss battle in itself! Goddamn.

Don't bother hitting the ball, just kick it with a dash. Why is the other person the only one able to tackle?!

Oh, it doesn't? I thought for sure I saw someone mentioning it, my bad then.
When I say too expensive, I don't mean it as a complaint, just that it seems like you'll have to choose carefully, I'm totally ok with it
Wait, so enemies do respawn, they just don't drop anything? That's a bit better.
Sorry if I gave that impression. As far as I can tell, enemies do not respawn. Once picked up, medicine is apparently gone for good. So it looks like there's a hard limit on the amount of medicine you can pick up in a single playthrough.
I hope someone tells me I'm wrong,.
Its just weird to me you played less than an hour and are making these assumptions. I played 45mins and for the most part I have no clue what is going on with the systems yet, how long it is, how many dungeons there are etc.
Developer inexperience with Game Maker. It's too late to re-engineer the game to >= 60 FPS.
THANK YOU. Was making me queasy as hell, I can deal with windowed until there's a better fix.
Both meds and enemies respawn. Not sure if it's distance or time based. And I recommend searching carefully, there is quite the amount of hidden meds in boxes, behind walls, through thin gaps, etc
That's too bad. seems like a good enough game that most people will be able to overlook it though,
Hooray! I did the entire northern area but didn't see a single respawn. Figured that respawns were completely disabled.
100% - no idea why people are saying they don't. I've seen both back in places I've already explored but like you said, don't know what the mechanism is for making the respawns happen.
If you go just east of town it's quite easy to grab a couple medpaks easily enough, if stuff up north isn't respawned yet.
I mean, I could shut up, but it's inevitable that you'll speculate about this kind of stuff while playing, right?
I found it to be surprisingly responsive for a 30fps game, I was really impressed with that, for what it's worth.

Just tried it and medicine pickups respawn when you teleport back to a waypoint
Sure...when you are like 4-5 hours in, gotten a few upgrades and gotten a sense of how far you are / have done, not less than 1 hour in in my opinion
Just thought it was strange is all

2 things:
1. This game takes FOREVER to boot up. I even installed it on my SSD
2. Steam overlay works but screenshots aren't working for me which sucks.

Whew, just finished my second boss.

Tell you what though, one thing in this game that can fuck right off is attacks that do two damage but also throw you off a ledge, taking an additional one damage. You might as well just kill yourself and start over when that happens.

And then you spawn back on the ledge inside the enemy and take another damage
I'm not sure since it happened to me that only a couple of medicines and monsters respawned in the same area while going back and forth searching for a passage. Maybe it was a bug.
I picked grenade for the first one. I'd go that one or the one that lets you deflect bullets with your sword.
I tend to go with mobility upgrades first in most games. While I *love* darting around with the reduced cooldown, taking the blink upgrade first was probably a mistake. It's not as useful as other upgrades in most situations.
Also yes. Grr.
I went with the ability to deflect projectiles. No regrets.
I'd be keen to hear what upgrade path others went with though. So far I've done:
1) Reflect Projectiles
2) 1x Extra Health Pack Slot
3) Improved Dash
Yeah it feels fine. the frame rate isn't really a deal breaker for me.
Thats what im thinking. Also in theory it helps you get more upgrade currency, I've already seen a place where I need some sort of dash upgrade to get a "coin"
Edit: although extra health seems super useful, I didnt see that in the village
I just bought this one because there's a few coin pieces I think that require this skill, but I can't get it to activate consistently. What's the trick to making it work?
The rate you have to tap the dash button increases for the first few dashes. Start slower and speed up.

North boss is kicking my ass all around town, tips?

It is a game that is, on a scale of 1 to 10, between those two numbers.
I think the vendor with the health pack slots is slightly east and then north of the area with the other two vendors. IIRC.
It's pretty rad.
I had a hell of a time beating him, but my advice would be to not overuse dash. I started out just flailing on the dash button, but careful directional movement is actually all you need for most of the fight. Only dash when you won't have time to run from a hazard.
Between two numbers... Is that the next David Cage game?

I see a bunch of people complaining about the first boss.
I really don't get why, it took me 3 tries and it

respawns you with full health kits even. Just learn the pattern and adapt. You'd think this was like killing the Vanguard in Demon's Souls as the first boss you have to beat. Pretty well designed imo

...did I mess up? I went north and the first boss is a big

There are health kits hidden on the way up to him and if you have 3 when you walk up then you get 3 back when you die. That's how it worked for me
What happens if you walk into a boss battle with no spare medicine and 1 or 2 health bars? I assume you're screwed.
Here's hoping you can teleport back home if that happens.

I only seriously focused my attacks on the boss when he teleported to the center and spawned dudes. He's too hard to damage at other times.
Also, I feel like he gets easier in the second phase since his attacks are easier to predict. Maybe I just got lucky.

That sounds about right for a 8-10 hour game people are assuming it is, also assuming its 4 areas / bosses.
Lots of assumptions, I guess thats what happens when there arent reviews out

I'd like to add to this and say use your gun as much as possible. The small enemies should refill your clip
How many keys you got? After North and West, I still only have 1. Not done exploring West though.

I''m getting a display driver error whenever I try to boot on my Surface Pro 3. Anyone else have this problem or know what the deal is? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no dice.
