Patch: Difficulty and Bug Fixes

2015-04-18

Hello fellow hamster slayers. There is a new build available that I hope addresses some player feedback. - Lowered cost of unlocking some knights - Lower star requirement for all location unlocks - Lowered gold requirement for tier 2 melee and ranged weapons -- ranged weapon 20g -> 10g -- melee weapon 30g ->25g - Increased the auto-attack rate from 0.2secs to 0.125secs. This should help with input fatigue. - Unlocking upgrade will now grant upgrade without needing to touch trigger - Added message to map screen to clearly state the stars required to advance. - Treasury is available after talking to king - Pressing "A" or "Y" button will attempt to buy locked knight. - Tutorial dumps you back into castle - Fixed bug where tutorial revealed grassy plains before it revealed happy valley - Fixed spelling error in the zoo.

If old school action platformers with tons of heavy combat (Ghosts 'N Goblins, Rygar, Golden Axe, Wizards&Warriors) are your cup of tea (or in this case, your cup of blood spray and decapitated cute furry heads), you would be crazy not to play Knight of the Hamsters. Such a wondrously frantic melange of platforming, shooting, collecting and straight side-scrolling beat 'em up violence is a breath of fresh air in a...

edit: Thanks to the developers recent update improving the difficulty spike of the game I have decided to change the review to positive and have updated my review with changes to reflect my new opinions. This game is mad fun! I never expected so much from this game. At first glance I thought the gameplay was really standard and was unintuitive. However as I got further through the levels surviving longer it became...
