Lots of good stuff happening, especially including hand-drawn characters in an LD game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I wish there were a few choices I could make to change up the combat aspect; maybe I could find a better sword or armor and have to choose between them? As it is, the combat seems kinda arbitrary.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'd love to see this expanded with a bit more polish and a lot more content.
