Pretty and climatic game. It's AGD and I'm not big fan of editor made games but it's one of finest cases of its use.

Unfortunately I found it too hard for my reflexes. You lose life when falling from heights that would seem quite safe. And evading these little ghosts is also hard. I had several cases when I felt safe and a second later it was life lost.

But try it out people definitely. It's definitely worth it and you'll discover if the difficulty is right for you.

What a beauty. I love to see AGD games that really excel in the use of the tool.

This is brilliant and the ULA+ treatment takes it to the next level of awesome.

I'm not a fan of the dying from a height thing, though.
