The game was fun while it lasted, but it was way to short and easy.
Fun game, though I would have liked to have seen some kind of endless (or much much longer), scored mode, one-life, more roguelike. Not bad though.
Hey there, I've played the game several times before but now I installed it again and everytime i start the game Adobe AIR gets an error and says that the instalation is damaged and that I need to reinstal. I've installed it like 5 or 6 times and I still have the same error. Any thoughts?
Problem resolved I forgot that I didn't have the latest version of Adobe air lol
How many dungeon level exist in the game? I could not manage to pass floor4.
8 floors.
I managed to beat with all 3 characters, but they all ended up playing like the Wizard by the end - melee too dangerous to get into, so spamming Fireball and other spells to give time for Fireball to recharge. I'd like to see anybody play the last two levels using strictly melee for damage...
On another note, is there any way to actually ... FIGHT the final boss?
I finished the game with Thief and Wizard. but i could not pass floor6 with fighter. Also i was unlucky because of given spell. I've never found fireball or shadowwalk with fighter. It is almost impossible to make melee-fight advancing levels.
Sleep and transform can dispatch any foe. Sleep is especially priceless for warrior. :)
And there is 8 levels.
This is a fun game, especially for how simple it is.
I think it could be improved quite a bit with more of everything, yet still be fun in it's simple way even with such additions. More levels, more classes, more items.. more!
I wonder if that's the general plan for CQ2?
I'd like to translate this game in French. Would it be possible? I would do it for free, of course.
