Second boss, dead. Had to use a couple of potions, mind. Done a bit of exploring with my new touchscreen powers, but I’ve mainly been bagging souls and using them for upgrades. My main weapon was a spear – not too slow, good reach, fair amount of damage, best of both worlds – and is now a halberd. Everybody say “oooooooh!” I’ve kept a big slow sword and a small quick one, too, in case I ever feel I need them. The Katana might even be my main weapon if it wasn’t so short.

I’ve sold the rest and stocked up on various potions. Bought a couple of newspapers, too, but not sure what to do with them. You can’t seem to ‘use’ them.

Anyway, I suppose I should get back to exploring at some point.

Went back and killed the boss without potion use on my first try. Lightweight bastard. I drew his seal first time – it’s very easy, but also annoying to have to leap for the stylus when he starts exploding. I don’t like it when games shove in stylus use when it’s not needed just to say they have.

I can now summon bats and cats as well as zombies, but haven’t tried yet.

Yoko’s shop is confusing me. You can upgrade weapons with souls and release souls, but I have no idea what releasing souls is for. RTFM? Maybe it’s time.

Got stuck for a while because I didn’t notice a switch by a door, but at least wandering around randomly nets you experience and souls, so it’s not wasted time.

Into a whole new section now, but I just wimped out and ran back to an old save point because my health was getting low.
