What players say
Cheap, fun, casual. Not very creative, but enjoyable. The controls are nice, although the fact that you always jump to the maximum height is a bit annoying, especially when you have to kill airborne enemies.This game certainly deserved to be longer, but it's worth it.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Exploring the dungeon feels like a circus of goblins, traps juggle fireballs, loot sparkles like fireworks, and every step makes you grin.
Meh. If you have a dollar to spend on a game and no more, I wouldn't say no. My recommendation pretty much ends there. Super basic, pretty bland.
