Very cool game! And what's even better is that the browser version actually works on my computer!!! I've played a ton of unity web browser games over the years, and a lot of them just didn't work, lagged way too much or just flat out wouldn't load. This game was a pleasant surprise indeed! Cool art style as well! 

I really loved this game! So nice the gameplay and graphics. Nice job. But in some levels i saw bugs ,mostly where had many witchs , they passed by colliders and the music got really weird.

good game bro, nice graphics, nice gameplay :) On the last level I could jump through the wall of the house on the 2nd floor left side as i tried to go up one floor.

Very great work

Thanks!  I'm working on getting a build with sounds onto my page but FMOD is not playing nicely with my Unity build!

cool game! i found one bug though. when i complete the first level with the soldiers the level restarts instead of letting me proceed. 

I've encountered that too!  Trying to track down why but it never happens while I'm debugging :/

Will post a fix when I track it down. 

Thanks for playing!

Ok I was *not* able to reproduce it on demand after trying about 20 times but I made a change that I hope will prevent it from happening.  If you (or anyone else!) sees a level restart after you've successfully reached the exit please let me know and I'll keep investigating.

i can get past the military now! i think you fixed it :)

let us celebrate with the adding of chocolate to milk!

Hope you enjoy the rest of the levels :)

Weird!  I'll see if I can reproduce it. Thanks for trying it out. 

Thank you!

Hey, Sansthepunny,

I can't seem to get it to happen on my PC.  Does it happen consistently for you or do you need to do anything specific? I'm using chrome, which browser do you use?  If you don't use chrome then do you still get the problem in chrome?

Thanks!

I'm using google chrome and it still happens to me

Hey SANSTHEPUNNY a bunch of changes have gone in since your report.  Is it still happening now?  I wanna fix that bug whatever it is.
