Old school difficult with a refreshing art style. Definitely nice to see something that is not pixel art in a side scroller. I also like the combination of the overworld map elements and the side scrolling elements, though the overworld map could use a couple tweaks: not being able to move backwards felt a little clunky. The mobs and main character are well animated and the sound design is pleasant and cheery. The bats knocking me into spike pits definitely gave me some Castlevania flashbacks. Overall cool game, definitely looking forward to finishing it.
Enjoyed the game, can't wait for it to be further developed! If you are thinking about purchasing the game or just want to hear my opinion, feel free to watch my review! Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WNiY5I-sBQ&t=6s
I really like this one so far. Has a retro feel that is diferent from what everyone is doing these days. Looking forward to watching this progess.
This game is a free roaming side view game that lets you explore and replay old levels for bonuses and rewards. Only 17% into it with 2 hours played and I have a tough time stepping away it's got me hooked. The game definately keeps you on your toes as the difficulty can be quite challenging at times and make you think of ways to defeat a boss, level, etc. which adds to the excitement. Best $10 I've spent in a while.
I'm enjoying this game, pretty basic platformer! Love the narrative so far. Its not too challenging but fun!
Classic platformer game play with some really responsive controls. Lots of little issues, and the over world is horrible to navigate. But the developers have been making regular improvments, so it show a lot of promise that these kinds of issues will eventually be addressed.

Un título modesto que adolece de un buen puñado de bugs y glitches que impiden que sea posible recomendarlo en su estado actual. Con un proceso de pulido podría estar bien, como mucho, en un bundle.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP9uuiru6Sw
Highly recommended. This game is a total hidden gem! Something about this game gives me nostalia! It combines many of my favorite gaming elements from games I played growinng up! It has platforming, puzzles, great RPG elements such as interesting characters and abilities that you can unlock along your adventure. It's definitely easy enough for your average gamer to pick up, but even me (being a hardcore gamer) have had my fair share of deaths. You definitely can't just run straight through this game without paying attention to your surroundings! The levels are sidescrollers, but the 3d free roam in towns adds a great emersion element! I can't wait to see what else the developer has in store for future updates!
