@Aeonhunter - "Spelt" is indeed a word, as shown here: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/spelt Before correcting someone, do some research... and by the way, it's "your", not "you're".
Normally get much enjoyment out of Metroidvanias, but this one... just found the gameplay frustrating. I liked the first game more, and like its probable inspiration (http://robotfindskitten.org) more than that.
Nice little demo, and got my first card out of it. Loaded in about 35min on dialup, which isn't too bad. :P
The spritework is beautiful, reminiscent of Advance Wars. Portraits seemed off though.
The mechanics and controls are fine. Had a little trouble at first, especially remembering to click on enemies to attack, but this isn't the type of strategy I usually play. I guess with practise I'd get better. :P
