It would be nice to have more feedback from hitting enemies. (Like enemies reacting to being damaged). WebGL build took so much time to load.

I loved the aspect of managing spells and needing to life drain off the dead to heal. Also, being able to pick between using dead for healing or damage is a nice aspect.\n\nSome comments on user input -- Scroll wheels and right-clicks are tough for laptop users. I discovered using the 1,2,3,4 keys to switch between spells, otherwise it would have been unplayable for me. Having a key for raising the dead would be nice (unless there's an undocumented one).\n\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Korteh","author_uid":"1072604","time":"2019-04-30T15:21:18Z","epoch":1556637678,"modified":1556637678,"text":"good music and graphics? gameplay also pretty good, but the absence of collisions of most objects looks strange","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Eric Smith","author_uid":"1096473","time":"2019-04-30T17:42:29Z","epoch":1556646149,"modified":1556646149,"text":"Very impressive!
