A map would have been useful, though."},{"author_name":"andwhatnot","author_uid":"27164","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 10:45pm","epoch":1377643200,"text":"Good work!

However I also think that frequent mana-deadlocks can get irritating (a slow 20%-capped mana regen would have prevented true deadlocks). Also, when you enter some rooms when the carpet is lava, you can't avoid taking damage. Speaking of lava, its sound effect is loud and grating.\r\rBut overall it's a good game with a cool twist and a nice level of polish! Congrats!"},{"author_name":"Darien","author_uid":"7355","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 12:48am","epoch":1377650580,"text":"Good game! Classic Zelda-like fun, and the added zaniness of the special effects every ten seconds works really well. The music's a bit too hyper, though, if you ask me, and the lava sound is REALLY loud.
