New Player Tips?

I"m assuming movement speed & fire rate are pretty important? Is the game "beatable"?

Hi!

Yes, fire rate (or any other DPS-increasing stat) is pretty important, and movement speed is important up to a point (it's good to avoid damage and picking up power ups, but you can't win on it alone).

I just unlocked the second stage. :)

Is it generally better to keep revisiting the first to power up?

Does this game have a "grand finale" or "ending"?

Orient yourself on the difficulty level (the skulls)

You should try different stages, difficulty levels & curses. Depending on the total number of skulls

I would also advise you to take a closer look at the archivments to see what is unlocked with what. For example, it is worth selecting each weapon at least once & maximizing it, I think that's 500 gold per weapon via archivments.

if you want an easy time, try unlocking:
- character Ker (ranger bow)
- trinket: silver bullets
- trinket: forbidden sword
- trinket: leather bracer (i think thats a starter item)

her bow is weird early on n requieres alot positioning,
but once upgraded its utterly insane.^^ (espec with these trikets)

I generally just played each stage's easiest level with a character once, then when all of the first level are done on each stage, move onto the second one. In between, I look at the unlocks menu for weapons and characters, and try to do at least one unlock per run. You can reset your perks any time you want, but its best to get 'Multiple projectiles' and 'Health regen' bumped up asap. Once you have those, any missile attack you get becomes much stronger, and you almost cant die with high enough regen.
