Very polished and eye pleasing. I would have played it through if it wasn't for that nasty memory leak. It was so bad that I had to restart the PC. Nothing to say except good job and keep adding things.

Interesting distilled RPG experience. Sadly the memory leak killed it for me just as I was beginning to get the hang of it.
Is there a win condition yet or does it go on continuously? Really curious, what will/would you do with online? I can't imagine how that would go...
And those damn old ladies... Is it ever a good idea to help them?
Thanks for playing. The memory leak should be fixed now.
Helping the old ladies is beneficial if you have low health and little or no gold. That way you have little risk of losing money.
There is a win condition, which is defeating the dragon at the castle. Buying items from the merchant is the key to progress to new areas.
Really good game! I think I win, but I'm not so sure! :)
Here are a few tips for anyone who is stuck:
- Buying the candle from the merchant in the Meadows will open the Caves
- Buying the bombs from the merchant in the Forest will open the desert
- The merchant in the desert will give you a note
- The merchant in the Caves will only sell you the key if you have the note
- The key will open the Castle, for the final battle with the dragon
DoH! I didn't read that last comment before quitting. I had the note but didn't play long enough to meet the merchant in the caves. That's the one thing I didn't try.
I was already at max level.
Nice graphics. I liked this a lot. Played quite a while too.
