Introducing MONSTER PORTAL !!!
Hello!
I had debated this for awhile and finally decided to pull the trigger on it. There are many major updates and bug fixes to the game as well as 7 new gems!! Also changed a game mechanic where passive slot gems can refresh when not in active slots so you can real-time flip back and for to fully utilize your spells! It is a fun mechanic that engages more gems and is skill based in the heat of battle to know which spells you need and when.
Updates:
I am working to fully release the game in September tentatively. Either way I will continue to work on it and make it better. I appreciate all reviews and feedback! Thank you!
