Played it through and completed the survey as well.

Btw:
""Prototype" and "alpha" are often used interchangeably in the realm of software development. When referring the hardware development, the term "prototype" is exclusively used. Both refer to an early stage development stage. It is common for prototype to refer to an initial version which demonstrates the very basic functionality of the development subject."

This is way more than basic functionality :P Well worth calling it a beta or demo, it's even quite long(took me an hour... that's a long demo :D) you're underselling yourselves with choosing to call it a prototype if you ask me :) No need to be so humble if you intend to sell it in the end.

was really refreshing and felt pretty good and smooth.
Mouse and Keyboard worked fine (only when switching items on that wheel, it was a bit annoying but since you can swap items with the number keys it wasn't a big deal)
combat felt a bit repetative because you have no real combos, its just spamming attacks and blocking here and there. Never the less, it was fun to figth those ugly alien things.
The end scene was really great btw. Thats what a pirates heart wants.

Keep the work up!

I played it and it was amazing! I just had so much fun, I haven't had fun in a game for awhile, I did everything in the first map, the wire race was fun, but it was also a little hard to navigate, I loved how you could go everywhere, no clips!

I noticed that if you keep jumping while throwing those crystal balls down below, you can fly. I was able to reach the observatory this way.

That was awesome :D
Although there were some problems (Hence the prototype, you can still fix them) Most of them were animation issues. But I did encounter one major glitch. Do not alt+tab, or start key out of the game. Re-opening it will cause a whole bunch of graphical corruption. and disable your keyboard. Well for me that happened. I had to hard restart the PC.

Besides that, this was great, and I'm looking forward to the beta, or full release :)
