I really liked it! It seemed pretty balanced from what I saw, which is always a good thing. One bug: I noticed you would kill enemies and they would have negative HP, but other than that, the game worked perfectly. And that isn't a game breaking bug or anything to begin with. Well done!

Truly a minimalistic RPG!

I really liked it and played it for a surprisingly long time. This is probably as basic as a RPG can get, so you nailed the theme.

The difficulty curve seemed rather steep. You have to grind quite a bit in order to be able to hope to make any progress at all in the second area. Too much IMO.

The resolution seems unnecessarily small to me.

My favourite part is probably the music, which was incredibly well-done.

Everything that needs to be there is there, and very little more. Good job!

After 10 minutes of playing still not past the town sewers.
Other than that really nice game and I think I'll play some more later on :)

Needs more options for fights, pressing the Attack button all the time is boring.

Love it! An RPG you can just jump right into and start playing. Good job :D

Wow! I spent WAY too much time on that game! :)

Great job! Best game I've played so far!

Not bad. The game would be a lot more playable if it allowed you to use the keyboard, as there's quite a bit of grinding involved.

Like having a dungeon master in my home. Progression needs a bit of tweaking, but I played it for quite a while. Nice.

Dungeon Master Simulator! Speed up a little the progression and it will be perfect.

Absolutely loved this game - I literally just played it for the last couple of hours :) The only bug I found was that against a couple of much stronger enemies (relative to me), I managed to heal them with magic - my damage was negative :P Still, that's probably the result of using harmful magic on the undead.

This is by far, my favorite game so far. I loved it. It fit the theme really well. I hope that yours does really well in the competition. Well done.

Very nice. I was thinking about doing a minimal RPG, but I like your way better than what I was thinking. ;)

Couple minor bugs:
The attack button doesn't ungray, until you move the mouse away.
HP overlaps your MP, in town, when HP >= 1000.
Game balance could use some attention. Even at level 10, it seemed it was better for me to grind against the sewers than struggle with the much stronger monsters in the Dark Woods.

I think I spent WAY too much time playing this... ;)
