Love this game. I love it.
It is slightly annoying that the mana points doesn't stack like the coins do, and I've never gotten enough space in the backpack to utilize archery, and I almost never get enough coins to buy anything from the merchant, and reorganizing the pack mid-battle is not usually worth it.
Also, some descriptions of items could really use a comma - for example: The Bottle, which is currently stating something (roughly written from memory) like: "gives + attack to all weapons If adjacent to armor this item gets disabled"
...
(The Weapons get disabled - not the bottle itself but the weapons, and the bottle affects all weapons, so yeah that killed me once :T )
But this game is really fun and charming regardless. I keep coming back to it; it has replayability. The characters are cute. I like how each enemy has its own behavioural pattern. I love the animations and the artwork. I love the randomness of the stages and layouts. I like that you now can go back to helpers again after denying them first so that you can get their help when you really need it or have enough resources to do so (same goes with doors and chests), and I like the added characters, and character backstories.
Keep it up! :)
