The game is certainly one of the best in its genre in the last years, especially for its individual, high-resolution graphic style, even if it is only in one color. The music is also very fitting and easy on the ear. Unfortunately, some bugs and playability spoil the fun (tested with the current version 2.0.1). Some of them even prevent you from progressing and completing a level, such as in level 4, where if you don't use the keys you found in time, you might lose one of them and thus be unable to open one of the doors. In the last level, you were initially unable to pick up keys or potions at a certain point. There is also an annoyance with the controls, which always perform unwanted double jumps when you hold down the fire button, after which you often lose a life. The resulting frustration spoiled the fun, especially towards the end of the game, where you need to be very precise in how you do the jumping sections. I would have liked a little more fine-tuning here. If that doesn't bother you and you can wait for a possible update, you should go for it without hesitation.
Update: 14.12.2024: We took another look at the game in color and are very grateful for the bug fixes and useful improvements. We particularly liked the fact that you can choose between the old standards for the graphics and controls. On top of that, the game now looks a lot nicer with its high-resolution graphics. That's why we revised the rating again to the full score. :-)
