Suddenly health started to decrease and then I died .(
Before that it was fun! I liked big world, sword action and music. Didn't really get digging part.

So, I didn't hate it. I feel like ,for a two man team, some more work could have been done on graphics. I'm not sure exactly if/how I could go about attacking as the how to play menu looked like it was rushed and thrown in at the last second. Wasn't terrible, but wasn't done in any way. Keep trying.

LOL I thought the caret was a banana!

It wasn't really clear if the game was crashing or I was dying until I ran from a command line and saw the debugging output.

After you kill a monster it can still hurt you. I've died several time due to that. I've also been killed while standing back at the farm with no enemies in sight.

I think just a tad more polish and this could be a fun little explore and bash monsters game.

the dead part is a typo in the code, didn't comment it out... an hour and will get everything fixed + applet up too

Nice game. I died a few times and then gave up, I would make the world a little smaller

I enjoyed the freeflowing musing and talking to random people

the controls weren't particularly clear, neither was it very clear what the striped squares did

yea, I was really upset about the background and tutorial that the graphics guy made too, but time was up by the time he fixed them.. :(

Did you record the music yourself? I liked it! I certainly got an old dragon-warrior vibe from the game. Had fun running around the map trying to avoid mobs.

I do not know what the hell is going on. Had fun until I died and seemed to have lost everything. Maybe with clearer instructions it would be pretty cool.
