Meh
I was hoping for something to match the quality of Goblin Sword as something to play after finishing that game.
The graphics, controls, and world set up weren’t doing it for me at all.

more story modes!!!!
The game was a good 7.5. The “start game” button is the same as the “continue” button i think. I pressed on the “start game” button assuming it’s the same as “continue” button and it restarted the 2nd story mode. Kind of like it glitched. Specially since trying to mute the back ground sound and the attacks, it glitches out, takes me to my Home Screen. And the sound is still on. Yikes

Stingy heath system
While I am a fan of platform games. This game has found many cons on my list. If it were free the rating would be 3 stars but considering you must purchase to play I feel I should be less lenient. The health system in this game is beyond lack luster and needs a work-up/update. It is stingy to say the least. Each hit takes away half a heart and you gather hearts as you progress through the story. You can refill hearts with potions that drop (RARELY) or purchasing them from the merchant (EXPENSIVE). This becomes incredibly infuriating when you hit a save point next to a boss with 1 hit until death. The game is fun, but falls incredibly short next to other games such as Celeste. I will change my review if I see the devs work on something to make the game a tad less stingy with the health system.

Terrible controls.
The controls are a major let down.
2019-06-02
Where are the buttons for control it
It says press a button but I see no buttons

Not worth the price
The game is way too short to justify the $6 asking price. There is only one map, three bad guys, only one item (to breath under water), one extra weapon besides the sword, just a few secret hidden places, and a shop that has a few items.
The game play itself was great I had no issues with the controls. But, it is just way too short to justify $6. I feel ripped off.

Problem
I have 1/4 of the controls showing unplayable

Controls seem to be fixed
The developers appear to have fixed the control issue (both the control sizes and responsiveness). Now, the only issue is that the game is short. Aside from trying to speedrun or get a deathless playthrough, there’s not much replay-ability.

Controls
Hi friendly developer! Your controls are not great... actually they are pretty bad.
2019-03-05
Good looking game that’s ruined by lag
This game looks good and I like the style, but the lag is crazy! It’s like I’m playing in slow motion, then the frame rate corrects for a second then it’s back to slow motion. I’m playing on the new iPad so that’s not the issue. I’ve tried other games and they are working fine. I hope I didn’t just waste my money.

Um What...
See edit below also:
So when I pay 6 dollars for a game I expect it to take more than an hour of playtime to beat. The entire game should be the first level of maybe 10 total levels.
The controls are ok if you have baby hands. Developers need to add a feature that allows the user to configure them for those of us whose hands are full grown human sized.
I actually loved the game, the design, the side scrolling, action RPG is great and there’s even a half-hearted attempt at a story. But the game is so short that I feel ripped off.
0 replay-ability. Once you beat it and know where the secrets are, there is no need to ever play it again.
It’s a swing and a miss that just needed a lot more gameplay for the price they charge.
Edit: They’ve updated the controls so I’ve bumped my rating up to 3 stars. However, the major issue is how short the game is. Wait for it to go down to .99 cents.

Fun game, difficult controls
A pretty fun game however the controls are still very difficult which makes defeating any boss nearby impossible. If you try to move left or right and are not perfectly over top of the controls it does not move in the intended direction or doesn’t move at all.

Huge Disappointment.
See edit below.
I agree with the other reviews that the controls need work, but I found it playable and I see the devs are already working on it. I LOVE the game overall. The layout and bosses are challenging and the save mechanism took some getting used to but it works well and makes you think a few moves ahead. Love the pixel graphics.
The problem is, I beat the first world final boss Korg, and it froze as he was sinking down. I had to close the app, reopen, and beat him again. Second time it froze with Damsel in Distress Nara on the ground and our pal Jack trying to wake her up. I suppose I’ll try again and see if it goes a little further the third time.
The problem with that last sentence is that I’ve done it twice and now it’s easy, which gives you an idea of the replayability. Figure out the tricks, that’s it.
That said, if the review I read claiming this first world is the ONLY world, I’d say it’s worth $0.99 at most and that’s IF the controls and freezes are fixed.
Solid three stars so far. Down to one if I can’t get past the freeze, and down to one if I do and find that’s the end of the game. Here goes nothin’🤞
Yep. Third time through the final boss, I got through the end scene. I could give it a compelling story in ten minutes; they failed to. And the first world final boss is in fact the only world final boss.
Stick with Adventures of Pip, Oceanhorn, Sword of Xolan, Goblin Sword, Grimvalor, and Swordigo.

Need improvement
The game itself is good and i see improvements on the control but the problem is you don’t know what’s the next mission for you,
You just have to run around and around to know what’s next , put some objects of what’s your next mission is and where you have to go on the map please
2019-03-01
Love it!
This game is awesome! The Developer was kind enough to let me try the beta version before it came out and I can’t put it down. (Thank’s again Crescent Moon). Highly recommended to anyone who likes platformer & retro dungeon style games.
2019-03-01
great game, bad controllers
Please, fix the controllers asap.
Even using gamevice, it is not responsive.
2019-03-01
Well made
Controls are a to small and hard to use .... almost unplayable, they need to be larger.
Update helped a lot !

A new SNES Classic!
This game brought me back to the days of my childhood! It is pixel perfect and gives me that metroidvania feel on my mobile. It’s a fun game. Pick it up.

Controlls
Bad controls make game unplayable. Looks good but I couldn't play it for more than 5 minutes. Fell into spikes cause i couldn't activate the jump. Enemies ran into me because i couldn't activate the attack.
2019-02-27
Controls are too small
Gameplay is good and level design so far is fun. But the controls are so small. How did no one notice this during testing?
2019-02-27
Ok but...
I know it’s an early game but the controls are way to tight. Jack feels he weighs three tons and you have to press the buttons exactly on the icon to do anything. It took me half an hour to finish the first boss and it was a freaking slime!
2019-02-27
Great game so far!
While the controls can be a bit not great at times. They work for the most part. And it’s a small hurdle. Very well made game. Very fun and challenging and engaging. And not for the easily angered. It can get very hard. But I love it
2019-02-27
Frustrating controls
Feels like Jack is wearing weights in his shoes which makes it tricky to time your jumps. Only played 20 minutes and got past the first boss but man are the controls a hit n miss sometimes. I want to spend time relaxing on my break but seems to give me stress instead haha.
2019-02-26
Controls need work
Controls are finicky and inconsistent. It’s ok so far but not worth $5
