- Please make sure your Unity webplayer is up to date in case you go for the web version
- The Linux and OSX version have not been tested. Some problems have been reported and i've made a new version for both of them. Let me know you you face any issues!

That's terrible :( sounds like the debug mode, i'll se to it
Love the voice over and pace of the game.
Some sound effects during combat would have been nice. What sound there was added a nice atmosphere.
And the pixel art is nice.
It's great that our games almost have the same name! A bit weird. :P
I wasn't expecting the end! (Which gets extra theme points)
Its nice to be able to play jam game from begining to end.
The troll with tie was a nice touch.
The only thing I feelt could be better is the combat system.
It was too simple, though I liked that you don't run out of bottles.
Nice job!
glad i played all the way till the end!
awesome/ horrible idea. great mood and very nice graphics and a very cool voice over.
Sound had some bugs :s wished it worked fine
I thought the ending was a bit pat.
A great improvement would be the subtle text that appear on the lower third "beg for mercy" is ok but you could give hints of real dialog used by the twist ending hinting that he may have some pauses of his "health potion" returning back home.
Overall it was a great play-though no bugs good atmosphere and hope you will evolve furtherer in creating more games.

some sounds seemed to be missing
but overall the thing most crass
was the sad play's troubling ending.
Would have appreciated a few sound effects for the menus and battles.
I want to give this 6 stars for theme.
Great game! The first layer of story is fun enough. Not to mention there is 2nd layer of story to deepen the theme.
Great work!
The troll seems to be trolling while walking!! XD A dancing troll. And the enemies die after an extra turn, you know.
But It's a great game, I liked it! The sounds are very well done, and the combat system is very good. Congratulations!
The narration was great, but I really missed it during the fights and the last part...

I feel this is one of the best takes on the theme, great job!
DE TWEEST
So I quite liked this game. Gives me the "white phosphorus scene" vibe from Spec Ops: The Line. Really like the aspect of walking through the very graveyard you've created. The fact that your (presumed) wife was wheelchair-bound makes the ending all the more tragic. Cool stuff!
