For a paid app, I was surprised to still be bothered by an advertisement at a certain point. Hit the wrong button on your controller and instead of closing the ad it takes you to the app store page for what it's advertising. That's the kind of cleap clickbait BS a cheap app maker would use. It is for that reason that I am docking it 1 star for what normally would be a perfect metroidvania type game.
I have purchased other games by this developer, and they were simple and more “ quick-fix” games so I was nervous about this one. I was soooo wrong! The amount of detail and exploration potential is insane! It has that old school feel with the graphics, but its hours of fun! I looked online and found a website that has hints to help you... they are worth it! I haven’t been able to put this game down! It’s well worth the $5, and I hope they have a sequel. This is perfect if you have time on your hands- road trip/ vacation/time off/ or just to have some great fun searching for the relics!! Great job on this one!!
This game kept me engaged throughout the entire adventure and left me wanting more! I'll play any similar game that Donut Games puts out in the future.
