I've been reading this forum and the other forty about this game for quite some time. I finally broke down and downloaded the demo to see for this game for myself.

Within the first 3 seconds of playing, I agree that the character's travel speed is WAY to fast. Say you hold the w key for 3 seconds. The amount of distance the player travels in that time should be reduced by at LEAST 50% if not 75%. He simply travels to fast. If you have your heart set on this travel speed, then you need to increase the walk animation speed. Watch yourself walk, then try to mimic it in your character's animation. Also, all your characters stand like they're guarding the queen. Make them slouch. People don't stand like that and they definately don't walk like that, either.

Also I noticed there's not much to do but walk around. Add enemies, puzzles, whatever. You need gameplay. You need stuff to do in your game besides walk around. You need depth.

Most Importantly:
Honestly, I got bored very fast. Add SOMETHING to grab the player's attention early in the game and make them want to keep playing.
