The game is pretty nice but the dagger could use some work as it sometimes looks like it hit an enemy but it didn't.

Despite the simple graphics, the stealth was solid. Could easily see this expanded into a story-heavy Thief type experience. The \"soul as magic\" mechanic is great.\n\nOne change I'd suggest is making the player kill more forgiving\/fluid so you can react to an oncoming guard without ending up dead. There were a few times I felt the magic should have killed them before they could run me through.\n\nBut otherwise... I can't get enough of that dagger.

After I played I remembered that there was a sprint function! :D\n\nThe only thing I would maybe change is the guards once they stop chasing you: they get stuck in their position. Sometimes they are in an angle that makes the level impossible. I guess it is voluntary, it is just that I prefer when you always have a chance (even a tiny one) to complete the level. Making them looking around them from time to time in order to get an opportunity attack would be good.\n\nGood job!
