Is it good? Yes. IS IT EXTREMELY SHORT? YES. No, seriously. This is one of the shortest games ever.
Pretty good Zelda Links Awakening homage. The levels are short enough to beat in one or two sittings. There's no big adventure or sense of exploring though.
THIS LOOKS LIKE A NINTENDO ZELDA TYPE GAME AND HAS NON STOP ACTION AND MOVING BLOCKS AND KILLING LITTLE ENEMIES TO PROGREES TO THE BIGGER BOSSES - THAT ARE VERY EASY TO BEAT. FOR THE MONEY IT IS A VERY GOOD GAME AND I AM NOW ON THE 2ND PART OF THE GAME..... THE TOWER. I HAVE ENJOYED PLAYNG HIS GAME SO FAR AND LOOK FORWARD TO SIMILAR TYPE GAME - BUT MUCH MUCH LONGER PLEEAASE! 8/10 for this game and its worth the cheap price too!
If you want a small (~1h) Zelda experience, this is just the right game for you. There’s also another survival tower mode as a nice bonus.
