Awkard to Play...
The game was really well designed, except for the controls. I thought that they were placed in awkward spots. Also, I thought the guy didn't move fast enough. There should at least be a "run" button, if there isn't one already.

Good GOD. Did you even read the How To or the Controls? It tells you exactly how to play. There IS a run button. You can reconfigure the keys however you want. I know people don't like to read, but I don't think anyone loaded Battlefield 2 and just played it, thought the controls were too confusing, and left without even looking in the controls menu. I'm also aware this is a "Flash game" but that shouldn't be synonymous with "game where you only press two buttons." Yes, there are 5 buttons to learn, but it's not that hard, and you can reconfigure the keys to your liking, or even use a gamepad to play, if you use something like JoyToKey.
You've pissed me off. Give the game a chance by actually reading the controls and learning how to play, because I think the game is worth at least that much.
Could've been far, far better.
Okay, so first of all you've invented a great game here with an admirable main charachter, eye-pleasing environments, spot-on sounds, fluid, concise animation, and a charming setting. Then why the low score? There are only a few things wrong about this game that set it back way farther than it could've been. First of all is the level design- it's all fine and good once you get the first fire staff, but from that point onwards it becomes an inescapable walking-around-in-circle level of doom as you unsuccessfully look for the wind staff. Plus, theres the "sneaking" aesthetic. The narrator says that you must be sneaky throughout the level, but when you get the staff, it becomes virtually impossible. With such firepower, combat is very unfairly one-sided, and I found myself wishing, oh so very dearly, that wink would quit walking at such a god-forsaken speed and quit thinking that he needed to be stealthy! This slow walking is the biggest aspect to what lead's the game to it's monotonus and tedious anti-conclusion when the player finally gives up.
This could've been great- I can see that you've got a great engine here that is the perfection of all side-scrolling flasher's dreams, but it's unfortunate that the perfect aspects of this game were ruined by that awful level design and walk speed.
