Pretty fun game. Love the music. Abilities are cool and you can discover some pretty neat secrets in the well-designed levels. Combat is hit or miss. It's not the hardest game I've played but I found myself dying pretty often. I like to blame the odd enemy attack patterns, but maybe I just suck. You don't really get punished for dying. Progress saves regularly. You won't need to redo puzzles or clear a certain area to open a gate or ladder. You die and you can simply avoid the enemies and keep progressing as if you didn't die. In one of the chest gauntlets, the final enemy & I died at the same time. I was frustrated at first because I would have to do the whole battle all over again. I was relieved when it immediately played the cutscene and gave my me bomb power-up spell.

One thing that is kind of lame is unlocking upgrades. In the main game, you unlock the basic abilities, upgrade your health and magic potency by one and that's it. There's three additionally weapons, but there's a trophy for playing through the game with only the umbrella (the weakest one). It's only after you beat the game, that upgrades for the abilities and an additional health and magic potency upgrade become available. By that point, there's only one real boss left. The Grave Digger. Collecting the 7 tablets are the end involve some cool puzzles, but the reward, the True Ending, is not worth it.

Overall, an enjoyable, short and somewhat forgettable game that kept my interest as I impatiently wait for Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
