If some encounters or items that would have forced you to make some sort of choice were introduced, there would have been some danger or ability to strategize involved. As it stands, you basically just agree to everything you come across and wait until you win.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Very awesome visual style, though. Glad to haer you'll be keeping it up.
