i gave u an eight because it was a nice simple fun game but the boss could have been a bit stronger so............. other than that it was really good

Yea i tried making him stronger but two things im bad at programming is physics and enemy Ai
okay, where do i start
it was an rpg, that pretty much all i can say thats good about it, okay
1. the knives are useless for anything but blue ants that give crap xp,
2.you give no explination on how to get charm, or why you need charm just to buy something
3. you cant get anything but the crappy knives unless you can somehow get friggin charm, which i still dont know how to do.
4. im still as powerful as i was when i was lvl 1, instead of like normal rpgs that are FUN, i dont get more powerful as i lvl up, i can only get more gear, which requires charm, which u didnt explain how to get.
5.the LVL 1 enemies dont die in a couple hits, it takes like 20, and its practically impossible to kill anything else, not fun when you're just starting out
6.having to sit down to regain health: its extremely dull to do this, because you have to keep your finger down and stay at your keyboard, regaining 1 energy per second, wasting around 3 full minutes of your life just holding down a key, when you could just do something else much more fun while you wait.
7. let me jump higher, or make the area around the monsters where you take damage smaller, either that or make me get knocked back and not take damage for a second, and take a sset amount of damage from the enemy. i have been killed when i think im in safe distance from a creature, but no, ive been having my hp go down without any kind of notification to let me know im being hurt.
If you fix these small things, and maybe add a different kind ofweapon or two, your next game of this type will be MUCH better.

on the stats to the right corner there is an xopen up menu that is where u can upgrade ur stats, str, hp and charm. please try it again. its different once u know how to upgrade and finish quests, u will get alot stronger. u dont have to regain ur health. that is only cuz u havent gotten stronger. the stronger u gets with the stats. u will eventually not worry about ur mp and health plus u are heal with pots which monsters drop or at the store
hmmm....
sorry but you totally ripped off maplestory, the graphics, gameplay, and most everything. afew suggestions, 1st off you should get origional, second maybe you should get more of a range of music, and lastly the enemies were too "you keep fallowing me so much its impossible to attack you,". the reason i didnt give u a terrible score is, im sure you spent a fair amount of time making this and i dont want this too be wasted, heres an idea maybe take the gameplay style, change the graphics into your own, and please, please dont copy off of other games.
thank you for reading this. yours truly- mr too much constructive critisism..
i agreed with rougefire.. but i have more to add..
Before i start, these are what stats does:
Str-> increase max damage by whatever number <- good eg would be when i level up, using default weapon btw, all i notice was my max damage increasing from 1->same to 3->4->5->etc
Health-> just does what it says
*Charm* <- this is very important, u need charm to buy equip, so far at the store, u need to have 5 charm to buy the best equip.
And to the review:
i read through some of the reviews and u came across as someone who doesn't take kindly to criticism, nevertheless i have to type this out and i will mark those important with a *.
First of, the reason why there were many people who compared it to maplestory is 1. When u level up, that level up picture look like it came from maplestory appear. 2. Your character looks maplestory-like and also note that i am not saying that they ARE from maplestory, but they look an aweful lot like those from maplestory.
no.2*:
I have to agree with point no.2. In the tutorial, it just shows w-> atk, a-> interact, and arrow keys for movement, there were nothing to tell u what each stat does what. which u could do in a future version of this, maybe when u mouse over the stats, a brief description of it could be said.
Knives are shitty, but meh, like we care, u can buy some decent shit if u just run back and fro and collect enuf coins.
no.4* -> like i had mentioned about, only max damaged has been increase, so when u level up, sure it does get easier if u are lucky enuf, so fix this please, if not, jecus...
no.5* -> Basically, u need to rebalance ur enemies, they take too long to kill and their damage is pretty high.
no.6* -> Again, game balancing issue, it takes a long time, esp when u are at a high level, maybe u could balance it to be 1% of ur total mp&hp?
no.7* -> This is very important when it comes to a platform game, which it is in tis case, jumping is the most basic, and when u have no way of defence, other than jumping this is VERY important, so make it easier to jump pass your enemies so that even noob jumpers will survive, as for me, i am decent so meh... but please increase the jump height..
no.8* <- this is my own and so will any from this point on: Please fix your attack animation, for example the rose dart. It shows u shooting 3 darts so then why is it that it deals only one damage? And for boomerang, the animation shows it flying upwards, then why is it that the damage if inflicted straight ahead instead?
no.9** Make menu easier to access. To get to the menu, u have to go to the item shop and then u get to see ur inventory and the rest of the options, is it me or do i see something wrong here?
no.10 And i know u want to be fancy and all, but why do u have to shoot ur weapon at the monkey, can't u just talk to it ? This is optional so u can ignored this.
no.11: don worry this is the last of them, typing this out is too boring... Let's see now, generally, just try and improve your UI. add a key, maybe ESC to pause the game and show the menu and maybe I to open up the inventory. Same goes for that stats window, blind it to maybe the S key and like they say, make the weapon button more user-friendly.
Pretty much same stuff and some more stuff explained more, anyway about music, they sound okay i guess, well better than maplestory music :( Well, if i can make a guess, u probably will not be reading this instead or just be pissed but seriously, this is what a review is for, to point out ur flaw so u can improved on it the next time.
And thus end, my longest review ever. Hope u read it and give it a thought or 2...

I dont mind taking criticism. This was actually a good review. thank you for your time. the other ones before was just weird and awkward. like one of them who wrote a paragraph about my "w" button. I just dont think thats necessary. But this was actually a nice and detail review which makes sense. thanks again
Ok, 1) What are the enemies? Bugs, apples, a weird monster thingy, trees and something that I don't know?
2)Where the HELL is the badge? I expect i'm in the geyser but where is it?
3)Don't copy Maplestory
