this is fun, thanks for the rec! I keep getting owned by combining two max level skills into one that is worse, I should really read them better

Yeah this plus the long run lengths are my only problem with the game. A lot of the fusions are traps and it sucks to lose a solid run because you took a lovely fusion. It's such a big time investment just to experiment with something.

The game is good fun though

heyHEYYYY!!!
I got to 38 minutes on my fourth run without fusing anything. I prioritise lvl 1 abilities over upgrades, and there are so many effects, I can barely see the character most of the time. I suspect I should try focusing on two or three abilities to get to that fusing mechanic.

At one point about thirty-something minutes into I could just sit still and destroy anything that approached. Only had to stop since I was going on a grocery run.

But yeah, a lot of the numbers need to be brought up so that runs are over quicker.

Same on mine, and it is fairly frequent, probably 50% of the time. Luckily it has only happened when I was less than 2 minutes into a run, but I don't want to take the chance of it happening longer into a run.

But didn't Namco patent playing games during loading screens? Isn't that kind of a mechanic? Or is that patent vs copyright?

Expiration aside, this was also an extremely bad patent. gently caress any "well, sorta takes", it was just straight bad. It should have never been granted, there was significant prior art and it was WAY too broad in scope.

I had it happen 5 times in the space of a few minutes about 15 minutes into a run yesterday, it's getting more annoying now to be honest. I have emailed the developer to see if there's anything I can supply to them to help debug.

Edit: well gently caress, 15 minutes in on laboratory and I'm now just in a crash loop. Open game, load, crash, repeat.

Yeah, I was playing C64 games in the 80s that had small games you played while the game proper loaded from tape. Invade-a-load even gets a specific mention on the wikipedia page for "fast loaders", and it was copyrighted a full decade before Namco's dumb patent.

Levels slow real down once you get up to ~54 or so. Couldn't really move for the last 10 minutes, there was just too much around me and I'd run into stuff.

Go to the rewards app, and I think it'll show your history, including expiration dates on specific amounts.

I opted into the Magic Survival beta, this was a mistake. All of the abilities and items are now in Chinese. Arses.

On the plus side, chests now give you a choice of 3 items but you have to pay to open them with mp orbs.

The superpower is a red projectile if I remember correctly. It doesn't seem worth it.

I love magic survival but, man, I paid for no ads and they have no google cloud sync or whatever so when I had to reset my phone it was gone. Devs don't respond to emails.

It says on the loading screen that it doesn't sync and to use the google cloud save in options. I hit save after every long game

sucks about the no ads though, hopefully they get back to you at some point

My best so far. Fusion magic owns.



- The class that has a chance to reset scorching ray.
- Ray sub Satellite = bidirectional green lasers.
- Blizzard sub Incinerate = flame field around you.
- Tsunami sub Frost Nova = freezing tsunamis from all directions.

Plus I had some skill that just randomly deletes half the enemies around. It was hard to tell how often it went off, but every now and then everything would go off at once and I'd have basically a clear field, like I had used Armageddon when I didn't have it.



The other fusion combo I like is satellite sub spirit, which splits the satellites into two rings of smaller, rapidly-spinning sets, which work pretty well when you layer on some + satellite items.

Satellite sub Armageddon is garbage though. It turns them into one ginormous orbiting sun that obliterates anything it touches, but it's not fast enough or large enough to be as defensive as what you had before it, and the loss of Armageddon is pretty bad.

It's an uncommon level up option. Only appears when you've maxed out two compatible powers

not every skill can fuse with every other skill, so even if you have 2 maxed out skills it might not show up if they don't work with each other. there are definitely some traps though, be careful when you read about the fusion to decide if it is worth it. The ray + satellite one is probably my favorite so far

Time passes quickly on the weekend.

I did a test just now.

I started a game and played for about 8 minutes, generally getting one of each spell. Then I put the phone down, leaving the character standing still, glancing back occasionally to pick from the selection of new skills offered.

It was 38 minutes before I took any damage and about another 4 after that until I died.

It's practically an idle game at this point.

Is that on the first area? the later zones are a bit more difficult in the beginning, but yeah, with the right skills you can generally just sit still for the first 40 minutes. you miss out on gear and MP from the drops though
