Wish I could respawn with the weapons I las tho in infinite mode

Great game, I had lots of fun in all the challenges. I just wish you could respawn with the weapon you last had (purchased or found) in infinite mode. Although it does add to the challenge I think it’d be for the best if you could respawn with the weapon you last had.

Amazing game! Thanks for making it!

I loved it from start to finish (puzzle mode, that is). It had clever turn based puzzles, great mechanics, and an extremely easy to use control system. I encountered zero bugs and the ads weren’t intrusive at all. Probably the coolest thing to add to the game would be a level editor, but I understand if that’s a bit much to ask (I’ve done a bit of programming), so I’ll just say it’s a recommendation, not a must have. Personally I didn’t do much of the endless mode, but from what I saw it looks pretty cool. All around great game, thanks for the work put into it!

Reset Bucket

While Rust Bucket is an amazing game, and is probably the best example of Nitrome’s mastery of the turn system, but like all the others, I too found myself stumped. Not by the difficulty, but by the reset bug that happens every time you enter the level select screen. It really takes out of the whole game’s experience. This has happened to me twice while I was near the end of the castle world, and it’s extremely frustrating. Frankly, I’m surprised they haven’t fixed it already by the number of people who have pointed this out. Please fix it soon, so I can live to see the ending.
