I solemnly swear that I've made a bad game
Absolutely, I have tried to make it as annoying as possible.

I run to big spider, I hit it with 2 fireballs, I start walking back, during that time I've sang "Off to see the wizard" a few dozen times, and figured out what I want to say about this game,
I've found that the games that I've played so far are either, really terrible in practise, or bad in design/idea, but this game, has struck an extremely terrible mid-ground between the 2, Well done + I didn't finish it :(.
Thanks! I spent quite a while looking up the worst mechanics in games and implementing them on purpose :). I don't blame you, it's extremely annoying :D. I managed it when I had it much easier in a local dev build, but not in its current form. It's possible, just really tedious. There's not much more after the big spider.
great microtranstactios i wish i could spend more I think I got just near the end I will keep at it, if I can't beat it in my life time I will sire an heir to continue the quest thank you for giving my life meaning!!! 10/10
edit i saw a green thingy i was inches away i have no idea if that was the end or not I killed nearly every enemy then my controls got messed up and the last guys got me it was very tedius and confusing 10/10 thank you!
I have no idea what's going on 10/10
if you press esc/space/enter/start it should open the menu, where there's a "microtransaction" to unlock the tutorial. You should then be able to cast spells and that's where the true annoyingness comes in.
This is truly one of the worst things I've ever played, and I am so happy. The music is awful, the movement is awful, being forced to replay everything is awful, I pushed R and this game genuinely froze my browser I am IMPRESSED at how bad this is. Congratulations.
Frustration: 5/5

Yeah, the freezing is due to particle effects instantiating. For a second I considered looking up how to fix it, then I remembered what jam I was doing the game for, so left it in :)
Please let me know if you had the patience and skill to get to the end.
