Thank you its really nice of you! I am glad that you like the idea so much, because i was anxious if people will notice the theme.
"I might suggest adding a tip or perhaps even a small bar or signifier that the torches are lighting up/take a moment, as I did not realize at first why it sometimes lit or not."
To be honest i though that this animation of small flames before torch ignition will do the trick. Later i realized it won't and i didn't wanted to waste more time on it, hoping for the best :O
"Its certainly a game I could see myself returning to for play"
Honey for my ears! I consider making from this full version :-) we will see
"I will say sometimes the combat can feel a bit, off? "
Unfortunately you are right and it's my fault, because at last moment i added enemies in every level to make it tougher and I increased health of wizards and zombies by 1. Because of that in crowded areas attack can feel too slow.
Thank you for kind words and effort to give me feedback which I really appreciate
