This game is really growing on me. I beat the third palace, which was quite enjoyable. There was a room that I got stuck in for about 15 minutes until I realized you had to combine two items and use them in tandem. So instead of selecting a sword and some other item, I selected two items and was able to progress. After beating the palace, I did some more exploring. I just found entrance to an underground “color world” through a graveyard. It’s not one of the eight palaces although it plays like one (map, compass, boss, etc). This level has some of the coolest puzzles yet. Very logic oriented, which I like. The bosses are quite clever too. For example, the final boss in this underground palace changes color based on how rapidly you attack. If you attack too slow, he reverts to full strength. If you attack too fast, he drops extra enemies. So you have to keep up the proper level of attack to completely defeat him.
