The Story

You play the part of Mercure the Mage who must venture forth into the ravenous beasts evil lair, full of spiders, bats, rats, goblins and trolls, and recover the magical swirls which were stolen from Stone Circle earlier that morning whilst you were busy meditating.

The Game

You must wander the area killing or avoiding various creatures whilst on the look out for the stolen magical swirls. The lair also handily contains pressure pads to open doors, wizard bolt refills and life energy which will all help to keep you alive. Once the swirls have all been recovered you must make your way back to where you left your trusty steed to escape

Featuring, 

Mercure the Mage, Spiders, Bats, Rats, Goblins, Trolls, Respawn Zones, Wizard Bolts, Life Energy, Pressure Pads, Forest, Bridges, Mazes, Castles, Ice, Bricks, Chasms, and much more....

Here is my tribute to your game...

Thanks very much mate. It was my second game and my first mini sprite game. I wanted to make something a bit like Atari VCS Adventure. I should probably give it another go with a slightly different game now I know coding a bit more than I did

(+1)

best game ever!

Thanks mate 😍👍

Played version 3 with the AY music, really good. Nice cover of a well known artiste :) The game is fun to play and fun to explore, especially with the game mechanics as they work so well together. See a game play video/talk I did on it (no spoilers!):
