I've played a lot of tactical rpgs (they're my favorite genre), and most games really just leave the camera control on the current character while stuff happens at a pretty fast rate. You're usually allowed to move the camera wherever you want while the enemies take their turns.
I really enjoyed your game, though I think it was a bit too hard, as the portals just kept spawning wave after wave of enemies. A small indicator of how much damage you dealt would be nice, as well as a way to disable the "auto-movement" of the camera.
I have a favor to ask to anyone interested in my game:
I've been reviewing all the LPC games, however I can't really review my own game objectively. I'd really appreciate it if someone (or several people) wrote a review of my game so that I could list it on my blog. I'd link back to wherever the review was written, and if there's several, I'd write a MetaReview, with pieces of each review all pasted on the blog.
I figured the slow movement was intentional, as I didn't see a framerate drop after casting the spell. It does make you unable to run away from the skeletons, which in turn hammer and drain your life in no time :P
I couldn't get it to compile the game though not for lack of trying. To fix the configure error, I copypasted the configure script into a blank gedit window, and now configure works.
make was complaining about a folder named .deps which I'm unfamiliar with. Am I supposed to compile every library you listed first?
I noticed you also included a kdevelop file, however I couldn't get kdevelop4 to open it, nor codeblocks, on Linux. Any tips? I'd really like to package this game engine formally, as it's one of the games I've enjoyed the most :-)
Btw Atomic_swerve, you're very welcome to use (and/or modify) the index.htm I made. It uses an iframe but is otherwise invisible, and lets you keep an index.htm where people expect it.
I'm glad you liked the review, I enjoyed playing the game a lot, its one of the most polished titles out there, despite the ending.
Glad I could provide some feedback!

OOh, I'm glad you're also working on an Android port, I'd love to play it!
The animals look fantastic, great work Daneeklu!
Hey Glen, I wrote a review for your game http://k3rnel.net/2012/08/20/lpc-game-review-defeat-of-the-ancient-one/

Thanks for the game! I enjoyed it a lot!

Hey Krusmira, I thought you'd be happy to hear I wrote a small review about your game http://k3rnel.net/2012/08/15/lpc-game-review-blob-mobs/ :-)
Hey Xhrit! I wrote a somewhat long review of your game! http://k3rnel.net/2012/08/17/lpc-game-review-dungeon-tactics/

I managed to play the game! I wrote a (pretty long) review about the game: http://k3rnel.net/2012/08/16/lpc-game-review-artificers-quest
Man, those last 2 levels are tough!
Oh, that's interesting! It adds to the level of cruelty already present in the game, without having players one-hit-kill each other :-)
Edit: In case it wasn't clear, I say 'cruelty' in the most loving, affectionate way. <3
