Wow, this was pretty fun. I'm impressed with the huge amount of code, art, and sound you were able to create over a weekend. Great job!

Does gold do anything?

Anyway, this is pretty cool. I got really far my first try, especially considering I lost one of my party very early on, when I didn't understand what I was doing. Had two bandits, one jester and one priest. Lost one of the bandits.

Second time, I had two knights and two jesters! Turned out to be a terrible combo; Jesters have a cool ability, but it takes too long to get going; and they have no healing. Honestly, if this reflects the "real" game, it's not great. Everything just took so effing long, the walking, the slow fights with the joker and a party of three.

I feel like I might have had another party, but then just dumped it when I didn't like it? I don't remember. This time, I have two priests, a knight, and a bandit. Great combo! The two priests are probably the best part.

However, I almost got stuck behind a pile of rocks that crept crumbling on me (and I didn't have pickaxe). I wouldn't be surprised if I tried going through at least a dozen times, not counting winding around the map to see if there was a way around. That part, I didn't love, but otherwise, this has a lot going for it.

I can't get this to run. I've downloaded Java and everything; the Start.bat file just doesn't do anything when I try to open it.

Which is a darn shame, because the game sounds interesting and the graphics in the screenshots are very nice.

@Christina: on my mac, I had to manually paste the shell script... into my shell! I dunno if there's an equivalent for that for Windows.
