Well, this was very fun. It felt like a very complete, if bite-sized, experience. Cute graphics, music, SFX.
The conflict between saving the peasants and defending yourself lent a certain strategic flavor to every battle: how do I isolate the peasants from the demons, so I can save the peasants and kill the demons? Is it possible in this screen?
Unfortunately, even when I managed to kill all the demons and save all the peasants, I couldn't win the game. Every so often I would lose health, and then I died. I'm really not sure what killed me, or what I missed to trigger the win condition.
