Ratings and reviews

It's great to have an old fave available for my phone. Yet it's frustrating that the boost jump to get the map coverage and a few of the bonuses doesn't work. It's the spacing of the controller, which also makes doing the spells difficult too. They balanced it by making the spells castable instantly but that doesn't help the boost jump. Spacing is an issue on the right side of the controller too.

Used to play on a Galaxy S9 and everything ran great. Upgraded to an S23 and all of the sudden the game is WAY too fast. Everything on screen happens at about twice the normal speed, gameplay and dialogue. Gameplay is an issue because jumping feels like I have lead feet, I have to make perfect jumps for even the most basic platforming otherwise I drop like a brick and have to redo everything. I don't see a setting to alter game speed, so I have no idea how to fix this.

IMPORTANT: Game engine is timed to your own frame rate, so change your screen to run at 60 while playing. Other than that, one of the best games known to man. (Metroid)Vania is called the latter because of this particular game. I would love if Konami set the frame limit to 60 in an update though so I wouldn't have to make the change in my system settings every time I play.
