Title: [0.8.5|Endless|8|YASD] Too much Whirlwind?
Post by: Tormuse on June 20, 2018, 01:38
On a whim, I decided to play this game the other day for no particular reason.

This feels like the best attempt I've made at it, but according to the score, it's only my second best.  I think I would have survived longer if I hadn't been so focused on getting the Whirlwind ability.  I was doing better using my energy to run away to take enemies one at a time.  Even with level 2 Whirlwind, I wasn't able to take out enemies reliably enough...  Like I would have 8 surrounding me and the Whirlwind attack would take 50 energy to kill 2 or 3 of them; it just wasn't worth it.  Oh well, lesson for next time, I guess.

I've not seen a Berserk! run in a friggin' long time...

...this is an excellent run!  Much better than what I can pull off for sure.  =D
