Thank you!
Isn't this a remake of an older flash game? I remember a game years ago with the same set-up, story, characters, and gameplay.
It's still a good little game, but it's strangely familiar.

I released a demo of it 4 years ago.
The game crashed and my saves weren't stored!!! It froze when I encountered a spitter, after being notified that I could kill it and get it's poison for my quest. I had to reload the page, and after I did I lost over an hour of progress! I had saved manually at least 20 times in two slots between the game crash and where my game loaded, including about 2 minutes before the crash.
I really loved this game, but I don't know if I can restart it after losing so much progress - especially since people have suggested it's short so I somewhat suspect the game ends not too long after my crash (getting the crystal from the cave).
I agree the world map walking speed is painfully slow. Just make encounters more frequent in the world map, but let us speed up the walking. Don't change the combat to turn based though. I love the combat how it is, turn based is so overdone it gets really boring if there isn't some new mechanic.
So overall, a fantastic game, but the save problem killed it for me.
Great game!
Original combat mechanics, surprisingly interesting lore, smooth graphics, etc.
It feels like the scale of this game is somewhat limited by its platform... I would absolutely recommend firing up a Kickstarter for it! You have a proper good sense as to what it takes to keep people playing a game; I would love to see what you come up with if the whole project was put on an even larger, even more detailed level.
The combat does get a little tiresome after a while. Feels like I'd be happier with turn-based combat, it's popular because it works! Perhaps switch the current combat to a sort of minigame or occasional combat-related event? That would keep it fresh and exciting for longer, due to the natural effect of having more options, more tactics, more time to think, and therefore greater overall depth of the combat system. I could throw you a billion great ideas for such a change if you want, just shoot me a pm!
All in all, the grand vision of this game is evident throughout the entire experience and this a definitely one to be played. Whichever direction you choose to take it, I can't wait to see more :)
4/5
Oh, and maybe you could change the world map walking speed? It's actually quite a drag lol
Game froze after defeating golden demon for the first time. In the "dream" where he met the golden demon and the flaming tree. Item Hunter quest pointer randomly appears in the middle of towns for no reason.
