Secret of the Magic Crystals Catch-All

I have a copy sitting in my gift inventory. I'm waiting to see if there's actually some emergent gameplay beyond pegging people with a copy.

Two more copies gifted to loving Goodjers.

Really, it's not that bad, especially for its price point. 5 hours in and I have a well established Level 3 unicorn. I solved my other problem. Since I can't digitally shoot the useless ones, I discovered I can just sell them to some farmer (glue factory?) down the road. Training, making horse shoes, and potions gets harder as you level up. (More arrows, closer together, and faster). The cost of building upgrades and medicine jumps radically between levels too. I am actually worried what Level 5 will be like.

They should have used the same arrow system for the races and quests too. That part is rather lame without it. You pick the quest, just send it off, and wait for it to come back? What? I feel like I have no control of the success/failure that way. The only control I have is what skills levels I have on it before I send it off. I am determined to finish this just because I am an achievment whore.

There's like this rule. You have to check its Steam page once, and if you see anyone there with it on their wishlist (Dethroned) you have to get it for them, make a sarcastic card about unicorns for them, and then cackle madly with glee.

I don't see it on my wishlist. I hope it was removed when I got it gifted. It took all of an hour for me to receive the game after adding it to my wishlist. Absolutely amazing the speed that this game was gifted.

5 HOURS?? I put in 25 minutes the other day and felt like I was going to die.
I did initially have the intent to play this as un-ironically as possible. I could still possibly do this while very drunk, but I am not sure I have the fortitude to use my precious time in this manner.

I, for one, plan to be very very drunk while playing this game, if at all possible. Either that or dual game on some other system while I wait for that stupid clock to tick down while a quest is running.

Hey, I didn't say I spent SOBER hours playing. There may have been some CC & ginger involved.
The funny part about this is that if there was Unicorn Hat for TF2 for making a Level 5 unicorn NONE of you would be mocking this game.

Now you're thinking with magic crystals!

I can't get out of the starting area I keep getting sniped by pixies.

You have been drinking

I may have just noticed that our illustrious Rabbit didn't own this game yet... and I may have just fixed that.

Hah! You guys kill me. I am buying this for all my game design students. Let's see how long I can keep a straight face when asking them to critically analyze the game play. I'll post the best ones here.

There's going to be one student who is going to take you seriously and learn design from this game. It'll be like teaching a child the wrong names for colors just for fun.

I was expecting more screen caps

I'd be down with this. Wait, what?

Between that and Certis picking it up I think next week's Conf. Call is going to be very amusing. Actually, someone needs to hook Elysium up with a copy too.

This is my favorite website on all the internets.

I love this community.

Why does this thread have as many new replies as the Steam Summer Sale?

Why am I here?

WHAT ARE THESE VOICES IN MY HEAD?!

Enough said.

And another one falls prey to glitter and pony hair brushes.

I love you all so very much. This thread rules.
