Its rather annoying
The next level where you get the girl, it seems that there is a never ending amount of ghosts and red birds. I spent like 15 minutes on that level then gave up.
I did however find that the controls where easy to use (Thanks to the help of Counter-Strike), the delayed time it take to actually attack and how to give the girl complete immunity to damage. All I did was carry the girl while moving, waited for my mana to regenerate and do a ranged magic attack.
