haha, I have the most evil book in the world, but which is worshipped by mages? i always thought it would be the manual for windows ^^
nice game!
Mages can be evil too 
Just because it has a skull+crossbones cover, doesn’t mean it isn’t a manual for Windows

I thought the skeleton was a villager at first, so I just kept bumping into him. HE MURDERED ME.
Nice use of the theme.
You are indeed surprisingly weak at the beginning of the game. I was hoping to have a whole level-up system but I decided it would have taken too long.

I really liked it, except that you have to go past all these guys who are lethal. After reading the walkthrough, I thought I’d give it another shot and when I got to the mountain I got one-shotted by a guy standing in the middle of the passage. I couldn’t have avoided him! I want to see more of the game, but it’s just too vicious.
I really like the graphics.
Would appreciate auto-repeat on the keys!
Thanks! It took me quite a while to get the graphics the way I wanted but at the time it was very much early days You should play left handed, your sword is longer :fnarr: it doesn’t affect gameplay though.
It’s possible to get to the top of the mountain without being hit – dodge moar
Auto-repeat was planned but I guess I never got round to it.
A couple of cheats if you want to see more …
Pressing F7 will remove all the fog.
Pressing F8 will give you 40 HP, The Sword, the Lantern, the Book, and enough Skill to kill just about anything before the Dragons.
There comes a great price for such cheatery though…

I was killed by a Trogdor
I must come back and finish this one. Really enjoyable!
You’re very near the end! I’d read the walkthrough, it has hints on how to deal with those pesky dragons
Oh boy, that’s tough to play with Wine (the entire screen is inverted!). I’ll try it on my other computer when I get the chance.
