Lozlwsy DEMO A good start
It is a good start indeed, but i found some things worthy of mentioning.
a-) You should implement jump and attack, im sure it will give you more freedom for desingning future stages.
b-) The texboxes should not reappear if you close them without moving from where you received it. ok that was confusing, what i mean is: you stand below thestatue and a text box appears "The statue heals your wounds" i don't move, i just press "close" and the textbox appears again. It shouldn't appear unless i go away and come back to the statue.
c-) The "camera" moves too slow compared to link's speed. you should make the camera move faster, so you can actually see whats coming, think of good old Megaman or Mario, the guy is always in the middle of the screen.
Thats all i can think of, i agree with the WASD too, i gave it a 3/5 if you fix it im guessing it will be 5/5 worthy.
