Congrats on completing your first Ludum Dare! This actually reminds me a lot of my first LD. Bad graphics, raw HTML + JS, and everything looking like it was pulled together last minute ^^.
But seriously, good first game jam! I gave everything pretty neutral ratings, because if nothing else, it was different. Everything on LD seems to be mash the spacebar these days (I'm a multi-time offender of this), and this was something I haven't seen for a while.
Keep working at it, because I can see potential in you :)

well done for your first LD.
Hey, the game doesn't work for me.
When I inspect the page, it appears there is no JavaScript included in it :/

I loved it! Very fun, nice art, really nice environment! Well-done all around, congratulations on your first ludum dare as well!
Keep it up, this was awesome!
Great little game! Sometimes the most simple ones are the most fun.

nice, interesting rpg
There was a weird bug when I reloaded the game and started again, my health and stuff was Nan. Anyways, I played it again and I managed to get the Ultimate Sword of Pain and killed every single monster in the game. I wish there was some kind of ending to it though. Anyways, good job! This game definitely has potential. :D
Short game, not polished, but understandable being your first Ludum Dare. Congrats on your good effort! I would suggest, based on my experience, that you use Unity + javascript, it would be much easier for you to develop a complete game. Good job!

Only the main menu screen works for me (IE10, Firefox)
Interesting little game. Would have been nice if there was a way to "beat" it, but still. Way better than my first entry (which didn't even make it to the posts. :P )
This reminds me of another browser game with settlers and wood and stuff, but cool take on the theme! I found myself playing this for longer than most other entries!
Works in Chrome (or at least, gets to the game). In Firefox, debug console says "Reference Error: earth not defined" when I click on the Start button (nothing happens).
...I think it's because you're using document.write() everywhere; in most browsers, this causes the equivalent of a "new page" to be started: it doesn't write into the current browser. Which means that all your <script> tags would potentially be lost, which is probably what's happening? If you could just set the body element (or, probably better, a div element)'s innerHTML attribute, you'd probably get better results.
As a code quality matter, the indentation is all over the place, making the code hard to read (it's important for you to be able to follow your own code, too - it makes it faster to work with, and speed is everything in LD!). Also, you don't need all those individual <script> tags everywhere - you could put everything in one big <script> tag.
You seem to have // comments lying _outside_ the <script> tags, too, which would show up inside the body, where people can see them. The only reason no one sees them is because you're writing a new page with document.write() (but that's causing other issues).
(I'm not going to affect the ratings with code quality, just making some observations to pass on to you.)
But anyway, on to the actual game: you wrote a complete game, on your own, in JavaScript, without any outside libraries! Way to go! w00t! :D
