It's very pretty, atmospheric platformer with nice graphics and music. Personally I just find it a bit too hard.
Your opinions?

I don't find it that hard. The team behind it has done a nice job in the graphics and music department, but as a game in itself, I think it is a simple platformer like many others.

Besides, I find the idea of having to deal with separate keys for "jump" and "up ladder" questionable. I managed to do without that in Sophia II.

Personally I found hard to master these platforms that appear and disappear and you have to walk on them while avoiding the baddies at the same time.

By the way I agree with you Alessandro about strong and weaker points of this game. It has good presentation (graphics, music, animation, "mood") but has a rather standard gameplay.

There nothing wrong about it. A good game must have good (presentation OR gameplay OR originality) Here it fulfills the condtion ;)

I agree Ralf - good, in fact. Not a masterpiece, but good. That's what I think about it :)

I’m loving this game. For me it’s got that ‘just one more go’ appeal and just the right level of difficulty. I’ve managed to get into the castle and now I need to find some magical water 😀
