you really chose the best possible music? you get SUCH a good feel with all the graphics and humor and the music just ties that together. when my first fight happened i was bopping along so much that i almost died?
also, I think you should start Gared off with a couple of healing items, because I did not get any as a product of a fight until I was almost dead, and I could only buy one Fing at the shop...then you gave me all that money,, hhaa. I was avoiding all the enemies without it and it would definitely be too hard in the long run
one thing I noticed is that there's a pretty bright flash that happens when you cancel on the menu? is that intentional? you might want to take that out because it's a bit intense.
Loved all the little details, love Gared's fighting movements. Nice visual clue to how to get to the skeleton! and the other back cave. I'm excited to see any further work on this game, good luck.
