I would like to thank Edge, dungeonfan and Gezzen,
who gave me lots of good suggestions and provide me
detail to trace bugs!
Hopefully this shows I do listen and take user request very seriously
so if you have great idea, please share with me! I found such
interactivity with users and Android's (very) quick update mechanism
are perfect combination to build and improve this game.

[Edge]

Thanks for the credits, I can't wait to try everything out.

[Gezzen]

thx for credit too and thx again for the good work!

I kicked some monster's ass yesterday with zero boost.

I was wondering if you considered adding a line telling how much the attack is increased during the battle. Like when you're using the speed up battle ability it says Speed +1 under the Equipment line. (or something simmilar)
It would also clearify what zero boost actually does. Normal players would probably get totally confused when suddenly "atack increased until end of battle" appears without any further information.

Hehe, good job! Zero boost offers may extension point
to this game and it is really a great idea!

At the moment temporary stats increases
(from zero boost or battle abilities) are not visible
I can easily add display but I'm running out of screen space.
Maybe it is time for me to think about the better battle screen UI.
But ... it's actually fairly complicated UI and I'm afraid to touch it
(it is incredibly easy to introduce bug whenever I touch battle screen)

[Edge]

I always had enough space on my screen (except long battle messages which have a limited display space)
And since you have a line for counter attack, etc. I thought you could just display it there (change the string)? When using other boosts, you can extend the string like "attack +2, counter 1" (or so..)

[Tomo]

As you mention, there is a space to display but that space
is used to display:

1) counter
2) auto heal
3) power guard (due to combo)

so even now, if you have all 3 effects, it will cut off.
(that space can only display 2 effects)

I can always shorten the text so that I can fit more,
or convert text into a button, like status or item effects
in status screen, or convert to icon etc so there is a
way to handle this without changing UI much but I thought
maybe it's about time to take an another look of battle UI
(I want to make sure it's still intuitive for first timers)
