Kenxeus found a critical bug that prevented him from beating the assassin boss. The problem seemed to be related to my encryption software that's making certain codes unusable.

p/s Thanks for playing!
While being a good game in terms of difficulty, controls and story, I feel this is only half at best of what it could become. The end of the game leaves a feeling of disappointment, since it turns out there's nothing more when it starts to get interesting...
If anything, I encourage you to make a sequel to this game or continue working on this and eventually release a full storyline. As it is now, I can't give it any points on its story since I feel it's not finished yet.
Nice Man 4.5 out of 5!
The story, graphics, and game play was nice, but you should have added more physics. The fact that you're character could run while in midair was annoying. You also made it to easy by giving he player a lot of potions. Also the soul blast made bosses look puny. And after defeating the assassin you just left the story hanging. I mean after the assassin stage it just shows his weapon and a few words saying some stuff. You should have just added a video showing what happened at the end. (but a level would be better)
But the game still caught my attention and kept me in front of the screen for a few hours. :D
Good, but repetitive, and seemed...
Well, in a nutshell, I liked it. It was nice. The story was pretty good, the gameplay, albiet linear and repetitive, wasn't bad. The graphics weren't the best I've seen, but you did a good job. The controls were easy to learn and master, the tutorial was thorough, and the skills were diverse. The music was nice, but it would be more convenient if you included a way to control (or mute) the volume. However, after a while, the game began to get boring, repetitive, and plain. Enemies stayed easy throughout the game, character growth was stale, and the assassin boss just seemed... cliche. It reminded me of so many games I've played before, and although I'm fond of the memories, I'm not as fond of the gameplay. The game itself was very original, and I do appriciate that, as knockoffs are all too common these days. In your future games, please try making the battle system and gameplay more original, and above all, keep up the good work.
