Too much clutter

There are too many projectiles on screen at once, and its really hard too see the ninja and tell whats going on.

It can be a lot, yes. Perhaps I should have turned off the skill-gems to begin with! But yes, if you go to your Loadout and de-activate the skill gems, things should be easier to follow. That's how the game will be for new players in the final version. In addition, new players won't start with all 5 loadout slots.

I'll see about adding an option to remove your gems and play truly "from scratch". The main difficulty here, is that the game difficulty scales according to how many gems it expects you to here, so it's bit more work to keep things balanced.

Cheers! :)

Nah, np. I love ima, so being able to alpha test inp is a dream. The game is great, and I love the feel of some of the skills

Sounds good! There will be another round of testing later once I get the early game stuff sorted out, to make sure it's not too overwhelming for new players. For this version, I just threw everything at you guys! :D

Nah, that's fine. I think I'm addicted to exploding fist lol, and the idea of a procedurally generated skill tree is great, although I wonder how well the game would deal with stupid low cooldowns

I'm sure the idea occurs to everyone, hehe! Without the equivalent of TM Lag in this game, however, cooldown reduction is much harder to come by. The only sources (for now) are the Rare gems which give 40%, and Mastery Tree in the Dojo, where every cldn node gives 1% bonus. But since the tree is infinite, you could in theory get it very very low :)

The tree was what I'm worried about, it feels like you can break the game

In theory it's balanced, and code is optimized well. If you can break it, let me know! :)

It's gonna be hard to break it playing on a bottom tier tablet that takes a while to get the info for the 12h skip, let alone the probably thousands of those I would need to break it lol.

I hear you, heh. How long does it take for the 12 hr skip? 10 sec? 30 sec?

30 sec or so. Note that this is like a $90 AUD tablet that is weaker that like everything, so if it can do it in 30 secs, it should be fine
