How come if I open a chest but continue movement the dialogue box closes?

I can't be bothered to collect 10,000 golds just to reach level 4. The enemies seem to be simultaneously invincible and unable to attack, and can be safely ignored. I wonder how my character (happy face) is carrying all these swords. I like the concept a lot though."},{"author_name":"pfitzner","author_uid":"47541","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 11:59pm","epoch":1418082840,"text":"I want to like this more than I do; I really do. It's a great concept, and I congratulate you for trying it out. It just has a lot of problems with it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>1. I had no idea how to use any of the weapons I was getting. I've tried most of the buttons on my keyboard, with no luck.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>2. I never had to use the weapons, since the player character is so much faster than the monsters. I literally ran circles around the dungeon until the game crashed.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>3. The game crashed because I hit Spacebar over the 'Press Shift to Exit Shop' prompt; it threw an error and shut the whole thing down. That's... a pretty big bug.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>4. Even without the above, the game is really monotonous. Even just one variation on the graphics would've worked wonders.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's a nice start, though, I'll give you that much."},{"author_name":"pk","author_uid":"46747","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 12:14am","epoch":1418083740,"text":"The game seems to close if you press W or some key in the vicinity.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Enemies seem to do nothing at all?

(traditional controls would have been nice) using both &lt;&gt; to select weapons was un-intuitive for me. \r<br\/>Couldn't figure out how to actually use the weapons i collected, but loved how each room &quot;respawned&quot; as i left. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice concept :D"},{"author_name":"ShadowTzu","author_uid":"42080","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 11:54am","epoch":1418125740,"text":"the keys are not really intuitive, the theme is well respected, the game could be more fun if we could attack with a sword!"},{"author_name":"Leaghorn","author_uid":"45380","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 1:14pm","epoch":1418130540,"text":"Kinda slow...
