How it feels

A stressful cat-and-mouse chase where every move feels desperate and the shark's presence looms like an inescapable threat.

What players say

Players are split, but most appreciate LRG's enhanced edition for turning a 15-minute NES game into a multiple-hour action RPG with quests and chapters. The novelty runs out for some by the fourth loop. Many call it overpriced for what is essentially a rom hack, and a few report technical issues like bugs and HDR problems.
