How it feels

A bright, family-friendly pixel platformer with a simple hero's journey and multiple included game variants for variety.

What players say

Players call this a faithful NES-style Zelda homage with a metroidvania map and Adventure Quest humor. The PC port is clunky: sound lags, jumping is imprecise, and settings are hidden inside a save file. The game offers multiple endings, one requiring AdventureQuest 3D to read, and a secret mode where you play as an invincible dog.
