IF THE GAME IS TOO EASY FOR YOU: try beating it without killing any monsters. (Tips: You'll need to corral the skeletons carefully, and remember that wizards' fireballs can hurt other monsters... use that to your advantage!) I'll add a difficulty chooser for the sequel. :)
Frustratingly, I still can't repro the "you have died" bug... it sounds like a problem starting up, so I added some safety checks that might fix it. If you get the permanent "you have died bug" can you reply to this comment and let me know if it happened on startup, and if you see a forest path on the screen (or something else)? Thanks!
JackAce - you didn't get a bug, you got a secret, but the exploding skeleton probably exploded when the message should have displayed. :)
Diva, etc. - I can definitely improve the controls, but I don't know what's wrong with them?
Thanks guys, I made some more improvements to the game logic and fixed some bugs. **NOTE**: You can use the ALT key (and the MAC key on Macs) as alternatives to the CTRL key, if you like those better!
Thanks for the feedback! I think the game difficulty got increased a bit too much at the last minute, I'm tweaking the difficulty down a little bit now.
