First time I skipped the instructions and was a bit confused.
After reading the instructions, I understood what I was supposed to do and had more fun playing.
It still did feel a bit random what the hero would do - sometimes it was a clear path towards the princess and they would first fight all the skeletons in the 'castle'
And at some point I had the hero cornered and could keep on "cheesing" them in there: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ur8r1vswcilc306/chance-of-civalry--cheese.mov?dl=0
Overall, nice concept, could use some more polish (like animations and maybe some tutorial or something).
