I liked it from beginning to end. The game seemed to get easier with time and was relatively easy all in all. I didn't miss any animations or the audio, it's pretty the way it is (and the music has an epic melody, very fitting for the game!)\n\nThe tileset and sprite styles are top notch, too!\n\nOne downside was the lack of key-repeat, my fingers are still sore from running around ;-)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ace17","author_uid":"1002556","time":"2017-05-02T17:37:41Z","epoch":1493746661,"modified":1493746661,"text":"Cool gameplay, cool graphics, cool music!\nI played until the end, and it was fun!\n\nSome improvement ideas: the text scrolling is laggy as hell, and the music loop is a little glitchy.\nAnd I confirm that we need a key-repeat :-)\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Fiote","author_uid":"1005698","time":"2017-05-02T23:48:28Z","epoch":1493768908,"modified":1493768948,"text":"Another solid javascript game! That was very VERY good! Could easily be turned into a 'real' game with some tuning (like the one-mp-per-tile regen, that was weird haha) and more content.

You really could improve that one part(or it is just me personally never liked old style controls).","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"automatonvx","author_uid":"1004125","time":"2017-05-14T13:49:49Z","epoch":1494769789,"modified":1494769789,"text":"Loved it from the first screen shot and it didn't disappoint. I'm totally biased towards traditional rpgs though.\nThe artwork and music was really nicely done. For criticism, the balancing obviously needs adjustment, I didn't even end up using any of the spells or healing herbs, its pretty easy to use the turn movement to attack first and mostly wipe them out on the first hit and never take damage. More dialogue and text please, for me one of the pleasures of rpgs is the story and flavour you get from interacting with characters and objects so more of that would be great. Still for the time constraint I can't complain too much.  Anyway great job","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Takusan","author_uid":"1013695","time":"2017-05-20T19:09:16Z","epoch":1495307356,"modified":1495307356,"text":"I love the fact that I could attack myself with bare fists and actually lose HP :)\n\nI like this more than I should, probably because of the strong nostalgia factor, reminds me of the good ol' days too much.\n\nBalance needs adjustment of course, and more content (plus some sfx, but not much) is obviously needed, but the base is fun as is, and neatly done.\n\nAs for the controls, they're confusing, but that's actually like it should be here in my opinion. Feels more like the old games that way, where working out the controls was part of the fun.\n\nGood job -  I like it, I had fun, cheers!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"FloBar","author_uid":"1038737","time":"2017-07-31T16:06:59Z","epoch":1501517219,"modified":1501517219,"text":"I don't usually like these type of games and wasn't expecting much, but to my surprise I really enjoyed playing it.
