The game was enjoyable to play and it was interesting trying to balance mana with health, though I did keep accidentally switching form - not the games fault but my inability to stop fiddling with the buttons!"},{"author_name":"Per","author_uid":"6781","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 7:36pm","epoch":1461094260,"text":"Got a bit scared there when I found the first enemies :)\r<br\/>I'd suggest that you remove the pointer lock and instead have a dynamic camera that fits close enemies inside the view."},{"author_name":"RoadToSalvation","author_uid":"55791","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 7:37pm","epoch":1461094320,"text":"Cool idea- clear WoW\/WC3 influence. Sometimes enemies will spawn and I'll run to them but then they disappear and change their location \/ direction? I feel like mana management could be a little better done or done away with. The &quot;alert a tree is being attacked&quot; sound sounds like my phone is vibrating on the desk which while pedantic was a little annoying lol.

Awesome gameplay and graphics...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>However, playing it after a while gets pretty repititive and less exciting. I suggest making the game more fast-paced by removing dead airs like when running very far... If u'd like to keep tht, at least give the environment more EYE CANDIES \/ visuals so that player has something else to look at other than the character running... :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, this is an interesting entry :) Would like to see more as it grows! :D"},{"author_name":"Arvydas","author_uid":"84596","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 3:04am","epoch":1461121140,"text":"Good graphics!

The tree forms and the balance between them is really good. I liked the visual style in general: the fact that you could see each polygon and the symplistic shape of each character. The mana mechanic is really cool cause it makes you think about a smart way to use it.
