This is a fun, side scrolling, goal oriented game. just difficult enough with a unique back story to keep you hooked until the last boss. Kind of wish the game had a higher difficulty setting though.

Pretty good for what it is. Short little action adventure with very little to no filler going on. Would definitely recommend on sale if you're looking for a quick little action game to scratch an itch.

7.5/10 Played with controller This is a rather linear but enjoyable 2d game. Overall, the game experience is enjoyable and feels like a good introductory game to the gaming hobby. My only real issue deals with the story of the world and it's characters. Something feels like it's missing. Maybe more detail behind the background of things to draw the player in.... Either way like I said. I find this to be a good introductory game. Definitely worth playing once if you have some time to kill.

Quick, fun, indie action sidescroller with cute art and great music. The levels work like those in Donkey Kong Country, where you pick a self-contained level on the map and have to complete it to move on. I wasn't super excited about getting the first new weapon, since I liked using the sword, but by the end of the game, the sword was my least favorite weapon of the 3 you get. The combos were fun to execute as well. Some of the bosses killed me a couple times, but probably the hardest part of the whole game was running from that boulder in the ice cavern lol.

This game is extremely basic, easy, and short. I heard it's a kickstarter project, so I did some research to find it was extremely over-hyped and under-delivered to some... upset backers. That being said, t's a cute game that feels cohesive and thought-out to the point you can finish it without soft-locking. This should take no more than 6 hours to 100%. It's not long enough to become repetitive, but if it were any longer, it would be. There's almost nothing original or unique about the gaming experience in any way. I am hesitant to recommend anyone invest the time into playing it, but the graphics are cute enough and I did not experience any glitches. 6/10 if you really like low-substance games for mindless progression. The developers spent a lot of time on this game but it doesn't feel like it shows.
