I wish I could give it a 2.5, that's roughly what it is to me, for what it is. What it is, is a kind of endless runner. I'm not sure if this is a bad translation, of if the weirdly choppy English is supposed to be part of it's charm. It's not enough to be mad at, but neither am I charmed by it.
As you progress it seems it will add some things. You start out with a jump and a shield. Then you get a person that can fire arrows for you. I'm sure there will be at least one more character added with at least one more power. I say this because the controls are SPACE; C; and X so far. So I'm assuming Z will also get thrown into the mix at some point. It's a very old school control scheme. It's slightly annoying but for what it is, it gets the job done. If you could use a controler on it, it's be far too easy I reckon.
I did find it a bit annoying that when they added the second character, you now have to factor her into your jumps because if you clear it but she doesn't, you lose. It's a time waster that I find hard to judge too harshly because while I'm fairly sure it's not really worth the $5 asking price. What can you really expect for $5? Sure, it could be cheaper, but that's not even enough to get a cheap meal anymore so, meh.
I don't love it, I don't hate it. It's a time waster with sections connected by a story presented in somewhat broken English (I'm not being totally fair here, it's not that bad, just a bit... off) and some decent character sketches. It really feels like this was an excuse to show off the sketches which are decent in their own right. But would not be worth the price of admission per se.
If you see it on sale for like a buck or two, then I’d feel a lot more confident in that three star. I don’t want to give it two, because for what it is, it’s fine. But it didn’t earn a three either.
