Thanks much for your feedback, very much appreciated!
I'm afraid I've not updated the build here in quite some time. There is an issue with the web build I need to clear up. I have it on my list to get it fixed and update the build here.
The game has changed and improved so much from the build you played here. The demo is releasing on steam in a few days, March 9. I've added a shield spell already for the demo.
Definintly check out the demo it is so much better, and the monster walking backwards thing has been solved as well.
