Nice background story! :) Gameplay is a little hard but gets easier with time.
It was a good use of the theme! The game mechanics is a bit problematic, but with some time you can kick asses with this!
Movement is very sluggish and makes the game not as fun as it should be. Nice idea with the player character representation.
I liked the skeptic popping up to insist we find another link each time, good work.
Great setup. Fun dialog. I beat it just to see the ending.
I ended up playing this game for a while without the whip because the Flash, as it is embedded on the page, was giving me problems (space bar was scrolling the screen, even when Flash had focus). Not being able to use the whip had an interesting impact on gameplay that I'd like to share.
Without using the whip, there are spirals that will eventually trap all of the enemies into small locations. While more fun, this unfortunately has the side effect of making the game fairly difficult to beat.
With the whip I was able to beat the game. However, with the whip, it honestly doesn't make a significant difference in gameplay whether the spiders were there or not.
Collisions are wildly annoying. Graphics are a little hodgepodge, but I like the background texture. Theme's okay, a bit too historic for my tastes, but I'll count it. Audio's really loud.
The creationist skeptic was great, asking for yet another link each time. Also, the fact that your character's sprite is just a wide-brimmed hat made me laugh. Decent job on the humor aspect.

This game is really rough around the edges I'm afraid. The movement felt laggy and I kept getting stuck on walls and narrow passages.
