What players say
A nice Binding of Isaac inspired game, not too much content in comparison and lower replayability, but cute enough for at least a try.

Very fun game, feels like a mix of Zelda, Spelunky and Binding of Isaac, at same time it has its own originality points. Also kinda difficult, the challenge is fun :)
It starts out being a blast as you rescue townsfolk, get newer and better items, and get further along into the game; but eventually devolves into repetitiveness. Although a roguelike in vein of TLoZ and BoI, it hardly gets very random. Due to this, as your skill level goes up, you get further in just to be hit by gobs of enemies. This is where the game's fault lies in as the enemies tend to take a lot of punishment...
