Keys:
Z - Confirm
X - Cancel
Enter - Menu/Pause
To save you must press Z on a blue orb
To increase your stats, you must press Z on a purple orb (i think there's a bug there u.u')
You can only use skills if you learn them, but the menu shows them all anyways. You get a skill every 4 levels up to level 24.
EDIT: I uploaded a new version with corrected stats and with a better way to calculate exp, so the game has a better dificulty scaling
Well, besides all problems, I hope you enjoy playing

From my playthrough, tuning is a bit easy. I seemed to level up very quickly while the enemies got tougher more slowly.
The tuning turned out a tad too easy, I had no trouble beating everything to a pulp. Until the boss. Looks like with the boss you need to use a spell, hits seemed to randomly heal him.
Other than that, a really good game, esp. for 48 hours. I love the little pixelled details.
The difficulty curve seems a bit uneven at the start. After the first two ghosts I had big problems surviving anything else, which tended to kill me in only a few hits since I was injured from the ones before and there was no way for me to heal yet, and there wasn't enough magic to kill them faster with a spell. After the random number generator decided the first two ghosts mostly missed, I managed to survive and completed the game without any trouble..
Music got pretty repetitive after a while.
Oh also, ran into a couple bugs. After I got a game over and started another game, I got two instances of the music playing on top of another. Also, when upgrading my stats at the purple orb my money display got bugged and suddenly said I had more than 7000 coins (although I couldn't use them to upgrade, so I think it was just a display error), and earned several thousands for battles afterwards. Might have been a few orders of magnitude more actually, as it went off the right side of the screen. Also ran into a couple invisible ghosts, not sure if that was intentional or not.
Anyway, apart from the issues, it's a nice game =)
I really like your game, one of my favorite in this LD48
