: Well done  But I've a few questions

: 1)  What was the huge secret talked about in the readme?  noooo I don't want a complete spoiler, just a hint to get me started.

It's not that huge, but fairly secret. Have you tried listening to the singer for a while?

: 2)  Does the girl ever come out of the locked door?

Nope. Maybe in a sequel, you'll bump into her again.

: 3)  What about the dead tree?  can you ever make it grow?

Nope, that's just for the roots.

: 4)  Can you ever leave town (past the guard to visit the church or anything)?

Again, the church will probably feature in a sequel.

: 5)  Do you ever obtain usable magic?  (I just love to burn trees)

Nope. In Nerux, which to be honest I may never work on again, you're able to go into Dink's estate and burn things. In CC, however, I wanted the combat to be pure hack&slash action.

: 6)  Is there anything in the room you can walk into the doorway in the cloud castle directly up from the dragon statue? (I think it is 2 rooms up from there or something)

Nothing exciting, I don't think - I can't remember.

: 7)  Is there any potions, or gold hearts hidden anywhere?  (I never found any *pout*)

There is one potion of each type in the game - if you've finished it, then you'll definitely have the magic potion. You'll probably have the strength potion too. The defense one is harder to find, it's hidden in the scenery.

: Thanks!!  These little details always nag at me

Heh. I need nagging in order to keep up work on Scarab. It's hard to make a fun game.
