I look for spell-casting adventure and you give me bejewled? **** this.
It isn't a bad idea, but there is just too much content missing, or unexplained. How do I get poison? Why are there so many towns that I apparently don't need to visit? I guess if this is only a demo, then it's good. But...
I like the different battle idea. I just wish it had been longer, and hope they come out with the second one soon. It also might be interesting to find other things along the roads like places where you can buy power-ups and the like. A little bit more information on how the game works (like the 20gp rest vs the 100gp rest) would be beneficial. All in all, I think this is pretty clever.
