I think the controls aren't working for :(

Otherwise, nice music!

It was really hard to control the player, reset the cam, and fight at the same time. Also, even if I can kill the monsters, it is almost impossible to collect the clocks properly... The idea was nice, but I had a hard time with this game. The music is nice :)

It played nicely, was hard at first, but I got used to it. I thought the quit tree was funny :D

The game didn't quite render correctly for me - my laptop sometimes has trouble with 3D games. However I did get to see how nice the animations were on the player character. And I managed to see a game where the character just floats around amongst the stars as the floor didn't render in - it's was actually quite soothing and relaxing. :D

@Starspell
This is because your computer / laptop doesn't support pixel shader profile 3.0. However, the map effect (using blood) is too complex for shader profile 2.0 (which your computer is capable of, obviously), so there are only low chances on fixing that... sorry.

There's a lot of content in there for a weekend! An intro, a hub world and the battle arenas themselves. Not bad!

I found this quite fun! Didn't _quite_ understand the gameplay though. Controls were not convenient - you should get rid of space to enter fight mode. But other than that good!

found myself getting engrossed into this game. The presentation of the game has a very strange and enjoyable feel to it, combat is also good. Interesting twist on the expert level. Wouldnt mind seeing this idea go further with more levels etc as its seeming with potential
