Browser version didn't work for me(Chrome), and neither did the Windows version. It wouldn't move past the very first screen saying "They say ignorance is bliss..."

Developer

I just played it on Chrome without any issues, so I don't know what might be wrong on your end.

About the intro....you need to press the enter key to skip the text. My bad! I didn't explain this on the page.

I’ll give it another shot. I still have time to change my rating before voting ends.

Great, thanks!

Hi adolfozt !

I didn't understand what these wizard-like creatures are meant for. Also, the re-spawning time is too slow, IMO (once I died quite far from the beginning of the level, and had to wait more than 10 seconds for the camera to return).

Hi Mulberg!

The sorcerers try to prevent you from dying when you try to kill yourself by throwing yourself off a cliff.

I didn't want to make it so evident by describing that on the game's readme. In hindsight I see that was a mistake.

About the re-spawning time, you're absolutely right, it should get quicker once you're far away from the beginning of the level.

Thanks for your input

Good idea and it feels good to play. Jumping seems a bit weird (high) and the game didn't display properly on my screen, not rating you down for that though, its not your fault.

Thanks for your comment, Xhrip! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Now I wonder what went wrong on your screen. If you could describe the problem or attach a screenshot, I would really appreciate it.

Here's what it looked like for me.

It didn't work in Firefox. But I was able to play it in Chrome. I also couldn't really figure out what I was supposed to do in this game. A tutorial would have been nice.

Developer

It seems that a lot of browser playable games are giving problems to some people. I guess that has to do with specific configurations / versions, because I was able to play them without issues on my pc.

I didn't want to make it too evident, and let the player discover what was needed on its own, but I see now that was a bad decision. I should have explained it on the game's readme or tutorial.
