This is such a weird game. It was my first RPG ever in my life. I played it when I was in first grade, at the school PC. Why it was on the school PC? Don't ask me. Tiny 6 year old girl like me was extremely amused by slashing off heads of the chickens. I have replayed this many times over the years and played lots of custom maps and mods. Why do I still enjoy this... lol

Weird little indie game that my sister cracked for me on a CD back in 2009(?). Had some funny dialogues and nice gameplay moments but got stuck with no help so many times that I just got annoyed.

Зельда-лайк. Конечно для тех времён игра собранная на коленке и изданная это похвально, но очень всё топорно и слабо сделано.

I feel like this never got the proper recognition it deserved as an oddball indie game.

I’m impressed the developer figured out how to make the iOS feel actually cozy. You can install whatever mods you want at your leisure. Usually devices like iPhones and consoles feel so sterilized, every addition is just a product.

That being said, having beaten the base game, I probably won’t be playing this version anymore. The controls are clunky and rely on button mashing to an extent and I don’t want to damage my touchscreen. I think I’ll grab it off GOG and see how it feels.
