What players say

Players call this a full reimagining that blends the best of the earlier Montezuma games, adding trampolines, masks, and a final boss fight. Longtime fans love the faithful old-school feel but note that the later levels get hard. A known problem: the game is broken on Windows with a black screen, and the developer never patched it.
