This game is so cool! (pun intended) I love the idea of the magical ice helmet's upgrades being temporary but also refillable. It made the strategy fast and fun! Do a fire helmet next! Great job! :) ps: I found 28 soul crystals. Is that out of 30?

love your games. game music really top  

Thanks, glad you're enjoying them :)
