I made a huge mistake, listening to the stellar reviews and buying this game. I used to love "Wonderboy in Monsterland" on the Amiga when I was a teenager and still play it occasionally on an emulator and I think it's a lot more fun than this game. I expected a modernized version that I can play on my Mac. I personally do not like the cartoon style graphics, the controls are super clunky and the game is zero fun for me. I uninstalled it after playing it for 20 minutes. About a year later, I tried it again and same thing, played for 20 minutes and felt like I never wanted to play this again so I uninstalled it again. I just don't get what people love about it so much. I think it's just tedious and boring. The music is pretty good though.
