Short sweet metroidvania
It's a short (2-3 hours tops) metroidvania platformer. Keep in mind when reading this review that this is a low-budget title, and it is obvious in everything. Controls and gameplay: they are very simplistic and not modern, but overall they are also tight in their simplicity. There is a feeling of awkwardness to them. E.g. the character falls down very fast; you can kill almost all enemies without getting damaged by staying in front of them and mashing the attack button as fast as you can. You can swim, but there are no real water mechanics. And so on. Enemies: there are some varieties of enemies and some are more interesting than others, but overall they all have almost the same AI with very little variety and don't really present a challenge. However bosses are designed as very tanky, and, given what I said about the controls, I didn't find them fun. Level design: whole game is basically one very large screen. There are shortcuts between locations and some variety in settings, e.g. castle, caves, town, forest. Apart from me getting stuck for a short while a couple of times, it's great. Art: what you see on the screenshots is what you get. Nice old school pixel art. Music: there are a few tunes being looped, and there are sound effects for most actions. The music is nice, I enjoyed it, but noticed some bugs with it, like two tunes being played at the same time. Story / characters: there's a basic premise for the hero's actions and a few supporting characters. The writing is simple, but made with a humourful tone. Overall it's a short great old school platformer that you get for free, even thought it's more than worth paying something like 3 or 5 bucks for.
