Thanks guys.
From what you report seems like my hardware sucks which is good and bad news at the same time.
Also, no I'm not from Russia but it just happened that during the tinkering with Construct I was listening to this band, Messer Chups (they're Russian) so that spawned the whole 'idea'.
Graphics are all mine too, I do design/illustration stuff for living (kinda).
Sword swinging, yeah, I know about that one. If you just press the Shift+Control, I think he executes the action properly but if you hold it then he gets stuck like 'floating' in the air.
I'm not so sure about that bug, was the character looking like that all the time (through the game) or just at that particular moment? Also, did it happen again if you quit (press Escape in game) and then try again?
