Note:
-----
This program is called a demo version because it demonstrates how the complete computer game Avencast, that is presently under development, might look like in the future. Nevertheless, it is feature rich (7 levels, 22+ spells) and could therefore also be considered a complete, compact game. It includes many challenging elements which are intended to encourage experienced players as well. So don't expect the game to be easy all the way. Also: Some people feel uncomfortable with the game control at the beginning. Don't give up too quick! Once you get used to the game play you will find it very handy.
