The sword works well, and the optimisations are pretty good. Nice work.

I assume the sword will be moved to the first quest as one of the NPCs tells you to get a weapon.
After that a spyglass would be a valued treasure.
I kinda feel like the mini-map should be a power you gain or activate maybe after gaining a spyglass  (perhaps also have it as optional, or off for a harder mode).
I don't feel like I'm ever being stealthy while not being able to crouch.
I suggest the use of the middle mouse button and wheel for something (could work for focusing or zooming the spyglass.

Bugs: Cacti have no collision.
Dead creatures still show on the mini-map.
I spoke to Rexxar on my way to the treasure but he didn't have anything to say other than a "?"

Thank you for taking the time to play and to provide this great feedback! The quest bug is disappointing - I'll check that out tomorrow. The other two should be easy fixes.

Love the idea of the spyglass and tying that into "acquiring" the minimap! Genius! That's definitely going into the next build!

Glad you like the idea. I think it helps make things more immersive if the in-game advantage for the character matches an advantage the player gets.
Perhaps this could then be enhanced via questing to gain the ability to zoom.
I can see this work by gathering herbs for an NPC that uses magik, so they can give you a potion with the power of far-sight.
This could allow the camera view, mini-map and spyglass to now zoom.
A potential cool upgrade for that later on could be the power of remote-sight, where you can see from the eyes of a native creature, that you can first see from wherever you are. The internal mechanism would be just like shooting games where you have to lock on a visible target (I also suggest this as a handy coding lesson).
You could limit this to only effecting in the mini-map, or only for the camera view so it is not too over-powered, or limit the amount of times you can use it per level. Maybe later that could be linked to a Mana bar if you gain the ability to use Magik.

Going to test the hotfix version. I'll let you know how I get on.
