What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise the game's Zelda-inspired design and visual style, but consistently criticize it for being extremely short (around 1 hour for the main campaign) with minimal content and repetitive gameplay. The post-game tower mode receives mixed reactions—some appreciate it as a bonus survival challenge, while others find the roguelike mechanics tedious and the overall package underwhelming for the price, with some describing the experience as feeling more like a demo than a complete game.
If Link's Awakening is a feature-length film, this is the animated short. There's lots of heart here, and it does well at being a "lean Zelda". My only real critique is the lack of rebindable controls, which leaves you stuck with some very weird action keys if you prefer a 'board to a controller.1 found this helpful
Fun 2D Zelda-like with a short main story. There's a fun / rage-inducing tower mode that you have to beat for the true ending. It's definitely worth the pocket change.
Short and sweet Hoped for a longer island adventure with puzzles but after the first chapter it turns into a gauntlet with a choice of 3 random upgrades per level. Still had plenty of fun and def worth it on a sale
It's charming, cute, and it's upfront about being a short game. My only beef is that I'm sick of sokoban puzzles. Maybe that should be a tag for the store page?
A very short - be aware - and well designed game. Simple and captivating.
Buy on a sale (99 cents) Which i did and its is worth. Look at my playtime. I beat the entire game in less than two hours.
