I didn't notice these while playing, but it would've been nice to show off more of the 'paper cutout' style.

It's good that playing this stuff like this is enticing until you realise what you're doing.

The hero of today is oft the villain on the morrow...\r\nGoal: \r\n-Burn as many Witches to death as possible on the Pyres placed throughout the village to earn Purification Points.\r\n-If left long enough, Witches will escape. Escaped witches will reduce your Piety. If your Piety reaches zero, game over!\r\n\r\n\r\nControls & Tips:\r\n\r\n-Use the arrow keys or W,A,S,D to move about the village.\r\n-Use P to pause the game.\r\n-Stand close to Pyres to start a fire and accelerate fire growth. The Pyre must have wood (and a Witch!) to start a fire.\r\n-Witches cannot escape while the Pyre is burning. Fire will diminish over time if left unattended. \r\n-Burning a witch to death or letting her escape will consume all wood from a Pyre. Gather extra wood from convenient Wood Piles at several locations. \r\n-Make sure to keep each Pyre stocked with wood so you're ready to start each fire when the Witch appears.\r\n-Righteous Speed power-up will help you cover more ground.\r\n-Holy Fire power-up will increase all active fires, and light any valid Pyres.\r\n-Chain together several completed Witch burnings to increase your Purification Point multiplier.\r\n-Banish the Goat Warlock for bonus points!<\/p>","title":"SUPER Witch Hunter Pro"}
