Castle Paradox

[Camdog]

Ok, due to many complaints about the difficulty of the game and the length of the battles, I've fiddled with Bliss and hopefully now it's more fun. Here are the changes...

Enemies now have reduced hit points. This should make things easier and battles faster.

Everything in the game is now faster, also to speed up the battles.

Save points have been eliminated; you can now save anywhere. I did this because Friend brought up the excellent point that you needed to be properly equipped for a group of enemies or you'd be slaughtered. I think with the reduced difficulty this shouldn't be as much of a problem, but fighting battles you are ill-prepared for is still difficult. This should help alleviate the "pain in the ass" factor.

Anyway, hopefully the game is less frustrating and more enjoyable now. I was actually worried when I released it that it would be too easy, but I guess that was because I knew exactly what to do (although I did playtest and successfully beat the last boss using a bunch of different strategies). Ah well, live and learn.

Anyways, if you downloaded the original version and switched it off because you were frustrated by it, I encourage you to try it again. I think you'll like it a lot better this way.

(And if you're still having problems, just try doing something different. After playtesting the new version, I can definitely say that most enemies can be beaten in two or three shots given the right combo of stats and attacks).
