Ratings and reviews

Fun, but too short. 1 dungeon. 1 boss. What's here is fairly decent, but just add I'm getting into it the game is over. It feels like a demo, not a game. Huge potential here.

One dungeon and then end credits, what a waist of money, my god the controls are terrible its like playing a zelda game with every step like your on ice whilst your absolutely drunk and no control customization option available

Really nice great sound and graphics.
