You had some really good ideas with the battle options and I can see where you were going with them.

Sadly, all that work goes to waste because your game does not have an FPS limiter. I could win the game by simply mashing the "1" button in every battle, and I wouldn't realize how close or how easily those battles were. Add some sleep time to your combat update functions.\r\rThat also applies to the "walking state" - the hardest thing in this game was hitting those damn stairs :-(\r\rThat said, thanks for the game, and thanks for rating so many games :-D"},{"author_name":"wademcgillis","author_uid":"3444","time":"Jan 4, 2012 @ 3:33pm","epoch":1325690880,"text":"I had to lose a few times while mashing my keyboard to find out how to fight.
