Wow, great game. Difficulty 1 was a good intro, took a while to figure out what the potions do. 'F' to freeze the grumpy guards, 'W' to grab all the diamonds in the viewport. I still don't know what 'I' does. 'H' heals.

Quite entertaining.

EDIT: 'I' == invincibility

Great game I enjoyed playing it.

Fun game! The monsters can get nasty in the higher levels, but the randomness can be used against them. If you stay against a wall, and have the monsters try to follow you against the wall, it helps line them up to be shot down. Remember not to get too many in one spot! Just go around a corner for a quick escape - they're not that bright.

Has anyone else beaten the game on level 16? The only way that works for me is to kill the monsters above all other tasks.

I had fun with this, along with all of your games, TANSTAAFL. :)

Only gripe is that the diamonds become blocks that you can't go over when you've reached the limit on diamonds.

Not a technological breakthrough, but a cool game nonetheless.

It reminds me of the old Kingdom of Kroz games that I ordered through a shareware catalog many moons ago. However, with your game's scrolling capability, I would have to say it easily trumps Kroz.

Unfortunately, though, I hit Alt TAB to leave your game and compose this message, and it won't let me resume the game. It just gives me a black screen. You might want to look into this.
