There's a lot of great in this game art, music, neat story line. There's some funny dialogue and neat creative touches to the game. The music and artwork team did a stand up job. Good variety of dungeons, characters and all that. I'm at 70% completion and the the rising-lava segment has me too frustrated, I think I have to shelve this game for a while until there's a patch?! I've been to the 1/2 mark but I consistently die at the sand barrier ___ | ___ (floor wall floor). Compared to other Metroid / Castlevania games, the game controls need some polish. There's a few spots in the game where you need to be super precise or you die. Its among trickiest game at times I've played with a keyboard. The controls aren't an issue for 99% of the game. Its usually jumping in precise segments that is the problem. I'm hopeful there's a sequel or new game from same publisher. This is a great game, and with a little control polish will be an absolute gem. I very much like the artwork and the music/sound effects compliment the game well. Nice melody.
Played most of the other Pendulo games, and this one hits it out of the ballpark. The puzzles are challenging enough without obscurity. Voice acting is awesome. The pics for this game make it look like a funny "Monster" themed game. This put me off the game not being into the genre. I regret thinking this now. It is funny, witty and there's all kinds of layers to the characters, dialog and plot. Its been a while since I played it, but on a replay I will click on everything. The dialog options are nothing short of hilarious. Don't want to spoil it, but ... you like adventure games? Buy this!
