I'm in the same boat (having just wasted the last three hours [img]smile.gif[/img] ). The interface is quirky, and I'm getting tired of spinning around so I can hit things. The traps took me a bit to figure out, but not too much. Now that I know the secret, it's easy

I wish the map feature and gamma were working in the game -- I'm getting lost, and it's awfully dark.
That being said, my fighter is turning into a behemoth! He's already level 5 (or is it 7?), and he's picking up speed fast. It's important to check him out every so often... one time, I went in and had over 18000 points to apply to skills
That said, disarm trap and examine trap are useful, as is skill in your chosen weapon. I am finding game play to be enjoyable, perhaps because it is so much like W&W.
One thing that's *really* annoying... I can't seem to figure out how to switch from magic casting back to my sword. It wasn't bad when I was casting magic missiles, but when I went to fireballs...

That hurt!
Wyv, does Z have the forum ready to go? I think that the demo serves as a really good launch point...
