Remember the basics – Spell Sword Review

Honestly, this is a pretty neat game, and it could be a lot of fun, but the developers seem to have forgotten to cover the basics... The controls are horrible, and they don't need to be. As it is you need to be pixel perfect to decide if you are moving left or right, since they don't have it set to use a 'joystick' style of controls. As for deciding between jumping and attacking, the jump button is as far in the corner, so most of the time I end up swinging instead of jumping, ending in a pointless death. As far as customizing the controls, two big problems... One, the jump button is just not capable of being moved. It doesn't show up so I can't put it in a useful location. Two, there is no way to reset the control layout I have found without resetting my entire game. Honestly, I'm hoping for either a serious revision to the controls, or a refund. This could be a really fun game, but it is utterly unplayable in the current state.
