There's 3 save slots on the inventory page.
There's a map but you have to pull it out and use it (vision scroll)
I wouldn't mind adding a quick slot... so it's not your left or right hand. But your belt or whatever.
B for Belt? sounds good eh?
Here's a quick little tutorial of how to "beat" the first level easily.
Kill the first spider ahead of you... then turn around and kill the spider and the snake along the south passageway. The snake will drop a shield .. with the shield and the health you have you can stand toe to toe with everything except a blob on the 1st level. If you encounter a blob you can hit him 5 times move back the 2nd he goes to attack and then move forward and attack again ... repeat 3-4 times. After you have 200 health you can stand toe to toe with everything on the 1st level... travel around until you find the fire ring/iron sword and vision scroll.
Use the vision scroll to hunt the remaining creatures and move to the 2nd level.
This is where I need to readd the save game feature :P
Put a shield on and your sword and go to the next level. Kill a few things and then pull out the vision scroll and hunt down the remaining monsters and don't forget to get the ice ring on the 2nd level.
The game is fairly resource intensive.
It could use more optimization I suppose.
I've seen it lag slightly on kongregate when the chat loads up...
and my machine is good enough to run HL2 :O
I would like to have better graphics thats for sure.. I want attack animations and death animations.
I started doing the artwork however and wasn't happy with my cartoony style. I want more "horror" less laugh. ;)
Torches keep the room lit... it gets dark and scary. If you run out of torches.
mp3daddy. There's a compass / direction at the top left corner.
NSEW
There's also a scroll that you can find that tells you where you are on the map and where the remaining creatures are.
As for lag / screen lag yeah sorry it's noticable slower on kongregate. Something to do with it running in the same window as the chat.
If you play it over on

There might not be any "lag"
I didn't want to ruin the punchline but there are actually 5 levels. Most people never beat the first wizard ;)
I put some "awards" in the game one for beating the wizard apprentice. One for beating the main wiz.... but I think the badges have to be added by kongregate. I can't make them myself.
I think the vision scroll might stop working if you die and restore from a saved game. However there's a scroll on every level so it should start working again if you pick one up.
It's not a glitch it's a feature. Play it on easy if you don't like the fact that you take "damage" from moving or attacking etc. It's just supposed to be a heart meter. Not health.
I played it, its good!
