Awesome. Awesome to the max.
Really awesome game. I played it for hours until I finally beat it. Early on I was screaming at it, and mocking it for not having random encounters, and only "encounters on certain squares" And I also took a bit to notice I had to manually increase my stats. Also those blue birds at the beginning killed me alot. But after you get your first knight the game starts feeling good to play. After I beat it the first time, I started over with a hex-editor open, to see what happens if you actually beat the guy that is supposed to kill you. On my first hit, it took half his health. Then he blinded me. Then I cast crush, and it started to say 1000 something damage, then immediately changed to MISS. I guess you were to far ahead for me =P
In any case, great game. The battle music was good, but got old. I kept saying it sounded familiar then it hit me, its the song from Defend Your Castle.
