Introduction seemed too long. Player control feels a bit weird. There's something strange going on with the sprites, but I like them, they're nicely done (backgrounds, trees, fire-spitting gargoyles -> my favorites). Keep it up!
The original introduction was cut for lack of time, it was supposed to showing the hero traveling towards different environments (on a boat, walking on the snow and during a storm). I wanted to include at least a bit of travel at the beginning, but at the current status it was went well. For the sprites I think I should had set the sprite resolution to 16x16 to solve resolution problems + some Z-fighting and dynamic lights issues. Thank you for the encoragements :)
