Ratings and reviews

I like this game a lot so far but my main problem is there is a little bit of lag between the character sprite's movements and when the buttons are tapped in certain areas on mobile. don't know if it's like this on other platforms or not but yeah, it's so much more frustratingly hard to dodge/platform. I'd give 5 stars if this was fixed. also, randomly the pause button won't work and it says UI isn't working. I have to minimize the game and then bring it back in order to pause once every time

Seems like an awesome game...But the dpad/joystick and buttons are just way too small. This is a game breaker for me because I can't really play the game without having to repeatedly try the same action over and over. The graphics and music are great and it appears that there is a solid storyline. But I will have to unfortunately uninstall until there is an option to enlarge the dpad/joystick and other buttons.

What a great game, at least until the ending. I feel like I was being built up to a great fight and an understanding if why the main character was important, but nope. EDIT: went back and tried to fully explore more, in the end its not a bad idea on how the story unfolds but it can leave people like me a bit underwhelmed. Game really needs a HUD fix for when you pick up items. Doesn't tell you what it is.
