RWarehall: I like the concept...the reviews not so much.
But let's take another dive into the low-rated games category...

zeogold: I like brave people like you.
Granted.
Thank you ZeoGold and MaxFulvus for the gift. This one really isn't all that bad. It has a charm to it, unlike most of the other "Mixed" games I've tried.
To put it another way...there are a lot of "average" games out there which aren't toward the top of their genre. But I don't play them for the long-term; I play them to experience something new (and sometimes to remind me why "good" games really are good. Take a game like 12 Labours of Hercules. I liked that game a lot and played it to the finish. It's a different type of puzzle game. As they added 4 or 5 more sequels, the uniqueness was gone, I just couldn't get into the 2nd one.

The reviews aren't necessarily wrong. It's not very good as just a platformer; it's not terrible but it's not good. The gameplay isn't strong, but the "hand-drawn" monsters and hero make it a unique in a way that makes me smile. I'm glad I've experienced it which is way better than a game which is just "meh".
