upon completion i realized how intensely fun this game is, with no obvious glitches and a fun exploitative game i couldn't say no to re playing it

These controls.. man I don't know why you made them so floaty and awful, why didn't you make tighter controls? Otherwise, music was alright, graphics were funcitonal. Tighten up the controls and it would've been alright

Pretty cool game, but hit a few bugs that made it difficult to play. First was that the enemies often times respawn immediately, i.e. if you kill something it immediately appears just above and attacks you before you have a chance to do anything. Second sometimes the enemies seem to be able to fly very fast and overrun you. Finally as I entered the third area I was immediately transported to the demon who pushed me quickly to a corner and pinned me there.

Despite this though you have made a cool game with a fairly and did get enough time to put in plot and a lot of nice touches.

Yes, I really wish the controls wouldn't be so floaty and annoying. Especially climbing ladders feels really wierd.

Also at first I didn't realise that the heart was a healing spell, I thought it was just a health pickup, the game got much easier after that. But still one time I got stuck on a rat, and had no way to flee.

But it's a fun idea and the music is not bad.

Lots of fun. The controls feel a little wonky, but the idea is fun, and the enemies are challenging. The magic is a blast to use.

Oh, sorry about that, I heard about a similar issue on a friends mac, I'll try and fix it, but I dont know that I can. I think that one of my libraries doesn't like loading files on macs
