Levels & Stats

When enemies are defeated, you gain experience. When you gain enough experience, you level up, which is noted both in the combat log, as well as by a quick musical sound. Bosses give bonus experience, but only the first time they're defeated.

Your required experience to gain another level is always at the very top of the combat log. You gain at least 10 stat points with each level, which does scale up. These stat points, as explained in the tutorial can be applied to several different things, listed below.

Attack:

Each point raises damage of weapons and tactical items by specific amounts, for weapons this is the multiplier value.

Defense:

Each point decreases the damage you take from hits by 3 points to a minimum of 1, note some attacks are not affected by your defense rating.

Tech:

Affects damage of some tactical items and weapons, required to use better weapons and shields. Also affects maximum vertical range of tactical items, 10 points of tech allows you to aim up 1 more coordinate.

Stamina:

Each point raises your maximum stamina by 3. Swinging heavy weapons drains stamina, if you run out you will temporarily be stunned while you recover. Walking makes you recover stamina faster than standing still.

HP:

Each point raises your maximum health by 5 points. Every level, your max HP increases by 10 automatically, or 2 level points.

Note that once points are allocated, they cannot be taken back so choose carefully.

You will also find items throughout the game that increase your stats by a small amount in the form of colored fruits. These fruits are used like recovery items, but take a decent amount of time to finish working. However their affects are permanent.

The Camera

Learning to use the camera is a must for parts of the game. The camera allows you to see what is around you without actually moving, example: knowing if that gap to your right is just a small hop down, or if it will cause you to go splat on the ground 30 feet below... which, of course would be quite bad for your continued life.

Activate the camera by holding the G key, and move it with your arrow keys. Empty space is indicated by a higher pitched bleep, barriers or platforms are indicated by a low tone. Also useful for knowing if you'll actually be able to jump to that platform over there, as your character can only jump 4 tiles up before coming back down.
