I like the story and the visuals! (Though -- the art for the player character doesn't seem to match the NPCs? Not a huge deal though.) I liked that I was able to get behind enemies to attack them more efficiently, and the animations were all very nice.
It isn't strictly necessary, but it's a little strange playing a sidescroller without a jump button. And the UI on my screen didn't seem to be in the right place; the health bar was an inch or so away from the left and bottom edges, and the dialogue box ended up underneath that.
