The game is way too short to justify the $6 asking price. There is only one map, three bad guys, only one item (to breath under water), one extra weapon besides the sword, just a few secret hidden places, and a shop that has a few items. The game play itself was great I had no issues with the controls. But, it is just way too short to justify $6. I feel ripped off.

See edit below. I agree with the other reviews that the controls need work, but I found it playable and I see the devs are already working on it. I LOVE the game overall. The layout and bosses are challenging and the save mechanism took some getting used to but it works well and makes you think a few moves ahead. Love the pixel graphics. The problem is, I beat the first world final boss Korg, and it froze as he was sinking down. I had to close the app, reopen, and beat him again. Second time it froze with Damsel in Distress Nara on the ground and our pal Jack trying to wake her up. I suppose I’ll try again and see if it goes a little further the third time. The problem with that last sentence is that I’ve done it twice and now it’s easy, which gives you an idea of the replayability. Figure out the tricks, that’s it. That said, if the review I read claiming this first world is the ONLY world, I’d say it’s worth $0.99 at most and that’s IF the controls and freezes are fixed. Solid three stars so far. Down to one if I can’t get past the freeze, and down to one if I do and find that’s the end of the game. Here goes nothin’🤞 Yep. Third time through the final boss, I got through the end scene. I could give it a compelling story in ten minutes; they failed to. And the first world final boss is in fact the only world final boss. Stick with Adventures of Pip, Oceanhorn, Sword of Xolan, Goblin Sword, Grimvalor, and Swordigo.

See edit below also: So when I pay 6 dollars for a game I expect it to take more than an hour of playtime to beat. The entire game should be the first level of maybe 10 total levels. The controls are ok if you have baby hands. Developers need to add a feature that allows the user to configure them for those of us whose hands are full grown human sized. I actually loved the game, the design, the side scrolling, action RPG is great and there’s even a half-hearted attempt at a story. But the game is so short that I feel ripped off. 0 replay-ability. Once you beat it and know where the secrets are, there is no need to ever play it again. It’s a swing and a miss that just needed a lot more gameplay for the price they charge. Edit: They’ve updated the controls so I’ve bumped my rating up to 3 stars. However, the major issue is how short the game is. Wait for it to go down to .99 cents.

The controls to the game are pretty bad. The buttons are far too small, and often I find myself just falling to my death or standing still while in front of an enemy because my fingers weren’t on the exact nanometer of the buttons. Besides controls however, the game functions perfectly fine and is enjoyable.

This game looks good and I like the style, but the lag is crazy! It’s like I’m playing in slow motion, then the frame rate corrects for a second then it’s back to slow motion. I’m playing on the new iPad so that’s not the issue. I’ve tried other games and they are working fine. I hope I didn’t just waste my money.
