Developer's Note: I am a solo dev and this game is in active development. I am always striving to balance the game towards a high level of difficulty without being frustrating, and rewarding victory. There is an intentionally high degree of randomness built into this game, so some runs will be more successful than others. That said, I want the game to be as fun as possible. If you encounter bugs / glitches or issues with game balance, please reach out to me so I can address them! Being a solo developer, I can only catch so many problems by myself. Thank you!

Developer's Note #2: Monstrfite is an incredibly important project to me. It is a labor of love. However, game development is a very time-consuming process, and sadly this is not time that I have anymore. I am now a first-year pharmacy student and it is with a heavy heart that I admit I have had to shelf my development of this game. However, like I said, this game is very important to me, and I know that some day I will have more time and come back to add lots of new features. For now, the game is relatively complete, and I hope that it will live in a satisfactory state until the day I can help it to reach its full potential. Thanks for playing!

Hi,
The game seems to freeze whenever I manage to hit any part of Ray, King of Cretins. I reached it twice and each time the game got stuck after I finally hit a part (not killed, just hit once) on the damage text, the music is still running but pressing a key or the mouse button does nothing.

Thank you for telling me about this! This is a solo project and I have done considerable testing and never encountered this, but I will investigate and post a fix ASAP. Sorry for the annoyance and thank you for playing!

I did a few runs on two different devices and wasn’t able to reproduce the bug… I will continue to investigate this… if you have any more info to share, please do! If it happened two out of two times for you I would think I’d be able to reproduce it and find the cause.

Yes, it's weird. I took a screenshot the second time : The last time I got bugs which were hard to reproduce it was because my Regional Format was not US (nor UK ...), I may try to do a run this way when I have some time.

Ok, it worked when I did two things : changed the Regional Format to US and launched the game as an administrator, not sure which of the two things did the trick but one of the two probably did.
