Double-click to use potion.
Every 20 x 20 chunk should have a merchant.
The graphical feel is mixed (handdrawn terrain and fancy inventory icons)... But it's ok none the less.
I just found the game to be a bit hard... :/ And tooltips could be a bit better design so that all needed information is visible more easily.
Nice job. Keep up the good work.
About the fight system. During the fight is percentage chance for stay, move or attack, so it is just need better balanced values or maybe just adjust values according to your gear for better challenge.
About the full inventory. If you find some chest, you can put some items in the chest to get free space and then take other items from it.
Also I think it is better that there is not so much merchants. When you find merchant, you can buy potion, sell items to earn golds and then buy some better gear for it. From merchants your mostly find something that makes playing easier so if you get everything in a minute, it won't be a challenge :smile:
The mechanics were easy to pick up, however I didn't know I could move during combat scenes until I read your description.
I noticed the monsters changed based on the tiles I were on (like sea monsters on water tiles). I don't know if I was just lucky or if that's built in. If so then that's a nice touch.
I don't know if you made all of the art yourself since you opted out of the Graphics category, but it was nice regardless.
Nice work! :smile:
Most of the graphics was bought from the recent humble bundle. As far as i know, only graphics made by ourselves are the tiles which i drew and the logo
