Aoi is pretty much spot on, there. You can basically explore wherever you want, whenever. But theres only so much you'll find outside of cavern gem veins and stash rooms (or maze rooms).

Theres wayyyy too many rooms in some of these buildings...

Word.

I'm feeling pretty aimless at the moment.  Tons of random buildings with random buildings inside that lead to random buildings.  All with not much interesting going on.

I'm wondering if I should just do missions?

This is my issue: not much to do.

Things to do:

Go on grand quest to build buoys. Find a way to get to ocean shallows materials.
Explore stash rooms, get upgrade stones, quest for acid water proof enchant if you don't already have it.
Enchant hunt in maze rooms.
Gem vein hunt underground.
Unlock new materials (defeat all in X, go down X many levels in Y, etc).
Find secret missions.
Unlock new time periods by getting their respective NPCs.
Get and use guardian power scrolls.
Level up all your favorite spells to five.
Defeat all the lieutenants.
Set platforming to hardest, play lava escape (haha just kidding you will fail).
And so on.

Cardboard boxes were just put in to pad the gameplay time, am I right?  Seriously, of all the pointless things for me to waste my time on, blowing up cardboard box after cardboard box is turning out to be the least fun.

They're there to make the basement look more like a basement than the other rooms.

If I see a wall of cardboard boxes, I just leave and head to another stash room/building. Generally it isn't worth the wasted time.

I have a spell that 1-shots cardboard boxes and passes through enemies. Destroying every cardboard box takes a few seconds.

If you see a stash or gem vein you generally want to head straight for those, otherwise you're not going to find anything hugely useful, at least not as well as a stash room.

I like using... Entropy Whip? It's a short range attack with a high fire rate and decent damage. Attacks fast enough that you can just walk through boxes/crates without having the long range that pass-through projectiles have that might accidentally destroy platforms you want to keep.

I probably should have mentioned I have an enchantment that increases my light-based attacks by quite a bit. Probably need that in order to 1-shot them. Otherwise it takes 2 or 3 shots maybe.

EDIT: I'm still on the first tutorial continent thingy so i don't know if cardboard boxes level up later on... o_O

Energy Pulse always did what you described, though, and if it doesn't now as Energy Slice, Tidal Pulse probably will.

My god, I didn't see this game until it debuted as 1.000 on Steam. And I gotta say, me and my friends have been hopelessly addicted to it the past few days. I dunno what it is that's lured us all in, but it is awesome. Probably all the upgrading and unlocking. I like checking boxes, what can I say? :D
