Also, the ugly endboss(?) is unbeatable, more or less. Dunno, I stopped trying, sorry.\r<br\/>First I thought you have to escape the dungeon, but then the ugly guy said something about a princess, so I think you missed the theme. ;)\r<br\/>Fazit: It would have been nice if you had some more polish in it, it just feels incomplete as a whole. Which is said, because I like Dungeon Crawlers. :)"},{"author_name":"Shigor","author_uid":"5242","time":"Aug 24, 2011 @ 3:27pm","epoch":1314199320,"text":"I'd add &quot;it's too slow&quot; to your self criticism.
