I have added extra clarity in the description which will hopefully help.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>And really sorry to hear it doesn't work on web for you :( I'd recommend trying the jar if you can? Also which is the broken link? Thanks :)"},{"author_name":"Fanatrick","author_uid":"39646","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:09am","epoch":1408935840,"text":"Good but expected take on the theme.

I wish the creatures had a little more visual indication of whether they were evil or not, I had to rely on the minimap a lot (which kept on going behind the scenery) which was tough. Also it would be good if there was some sort of visual indication of when you could switch, that felt a bit weird.
