This is great !

Okay, maybe a little more details :P
The game is very challenging, but in a good way. It can be a little unfair, mainly when changing rooms. Loved the different weapons, even if the sword is SO DAMN SLOW I COULD BREW MY OWN COFFEE BEFORE BEING DONE HITTING SOMETHING.( Yeah, I'm a fast brewer. ) Lacks a little audio, but otherwise excellent.
Good job !

Like most parts of the game.

The weapon system seems unnecessarily complicated and time consuming though.

I liked the game, particularly the challenge. As a major balance consideration, though, consider that you lose 1 health every second, and it takes longer than 10 seconds on average to find a health potion to restore that lost HP. All I kept getting were mana potions I couldn't use because I rarely made it far enough to find a spell.

Unless you're extremely lucky, this game seems almost unbeatable. That said, I like it. With some balancing, I think it could be really fun to play.

:(

Nearly runs under Wine but doesn't seem to get the keyboard input. Mouse yes but not keyboard. Really wanted a go on this.

Oh well. Can't rate it as haven't played it but looks great.

I really enjoyed this game, It's sooo difficult! There are some collision problems with ennemies/boxes, but I doesn't impact the overall gameplay.

It's pretty hard. Less monsters would've been nice, haha. Overall good game.
