« Short and sweet, with great and varied gameplay, and a surprisingly engaging story. Left me wanting more, which is a good thing for a game. For $12, its less then lunch at a restaruant, and gives you a lot more entertainment. »

« Platforming is quite brutal as death can be instant and lead to many runbacks. The pixel art style of the characters/enemies doesn't seem to really fit with the 3D environment background. Story is so-so. »
