8 years later, and I have to agree that the opening battle is annoying enough to have lost my interest after only a couple minutes.
First problem is the use of "Say_stop" to describe the monsters teleportation ability without freezing the game, forcing two uses of the space bar while your health dwindles from being attacked. Being unable to hit for even a zero, 90% of the time, is not a battle but merely an exercise in futility.
This is sad because I am sure there are some cool things in this file, and certainly the blinking enemies could be used in a decent way, but they simply blink faster than the attack sufficiently that it is too difficult for the average player to gain any ground.
Even with a small measure of success in causing damage, would encourage some players to adjust their strategy to improve but I think this file is aimed at a tiny subset of the community and not like to be of interest to the masses.
Out of curiosity I will adjust my &strength to see if there is more to this file than merely being disappointed.
Mm.
Update.
There is a story here, and this demo seems like it has an interesting story line that deserved to be developed into something more substantial. It is unfortunate that most players, the viewing audience, won't progress far enough to gain the same appreciation I have.
