A nice big game (I had to draw a map, which I always enjoy doing).  I think I found all of the 'bad' endings - I got killed by the beast, the mage and pressing the 'do not press' button before I managed to finish it!

The only thing I found a bit frustrating was that after you give the essential items to the wizard, the game takes over and finishes the story automatically.  I would have liked to work out a few of those things for myself!

Great adventure though.  Was there actually anything behind the iron bars?

Thank you!

There is one more ending which is good, but finding it is bit hard (you may need to restart the game)

For the mage, at first i wanted to make the player to finish the game but if i did that finding the good ending would become even harder.

For the bars, there was something there but i removed it, Because it caused some bugs. (There is another easter egg though)

Kind of stuck with the axe blade, and axe handle, and fishing rod. I think I need to find bait somewhere and go fishing.

Did you examined that fallen tree trunk?

OK, managed to get the fish, and I'm moving onwards.

I remember the oldman told me something useful about the fish, but I forgot what it was. When I go back to the oldman, he just says "good luck". A suggestion for an update might be to repeat the advice about the fish after you first talk to him.

Wish me luck with the fish :-)

Wow, the cave is really big. With the crystals, it's hard to know what type of instrument that is used to remove one of them. The next location has a rock in it. So I thought that picking up a rock would help with smashing the crystal. Maybe add a response for tools that can't be used if you try to smash rock?

I guess I don't have everything I need, but it's hard to know if I don't have the right item or if I'm just using the wrong command.

I'm sure I added another respond for the oldman so I may have accidently removed it.

And you don't need to smash crystals with the rock, It is to be used in another room ,I will add a respond for smashing the crystals today

A really impressive and ambitious game given it comes from a first-time adventure author and programmer, working in a second language. There are some clever puzzles, lots of locations, a maze, and multiple endings... both good and bad. You definitely shouldn't rush into using (and indeed using up) objects just because they seem to help you achieve something.
