I’m normally a harsh critique of games and don’t often write 5 star reviews but this definitely deserves one for multiple reasons. One is how simple it is to learn, two is how you can explore each map, three the great graphics, and four it’s straightforward goal — to get as far as possible. My suggestions for the developers in case they’re reading this would be to make the game a little less heavy. Not exactly minimalist, but slightly reducing graphic detail to the point where the gameplay is what you’re focusing at. However, this game is very fun to watch BECAUSE of its high graphics. Perhaps a high/medium/low option? Another idea would be to make the view slightly more vertical to allow for long distance strategy instead of relying upon on-the-spot tactics. One more thing would be to have the main mode have slightly more content and more choice. I’m a kind of person who’d like to stay in a small cottage overnight, defending the monsters trying to destroy it, then moving on to help another person with their problems. Point is, some people like going on a nonstop run, while others like racking up score in intervals. This may add more depth to the overall game. A must try game, and indeed it can be played with one hand. Though you’ll have difficulty multitasking with this heck of a game 😄

When I first started playing this, I got quickly frustrated because there are definitely moments/places where you get trapped, which seems like a flaw in the engine. However, the game is really fun and addicting, so that frustration has subsided somewhat now that I've learned to avoid those "traps" sometimes. It still would be nice though if there was either a way to attack obstacles (maybe start with one and earn more the farther you get?) or turn back towards the camera, even if just for a couple squares. That or just change the engine so those places don't appear. Otherwise a fun unique take on the endless runner.

Move by move, your only two options are to continue along your path or switch - between moving North or East along the map. It’s simple but you need to think quick. There are walls, traps, pits, monsters, treasures, etcetera. Each round is a little like Tetris: it starts off at a god pace but slowly increases in speed until you are absorbed into the game. That makes it too intense for me to play often but I still recommended giving it a shot.

The graphics are great and it is fun, however I feel like I’m grinding a lot to get up levels. I can easily get to Rocky Mountain and it earns lots of experience but I have to travel so long in order to get there to only pass the check point saying I’m not level 10 yet. I feel if one has the ability to make it there, it would be nice to stay there or have stuff you can earn that revive you at that starting point for the next three turns, ect. Otherwise the characters are cool and it’s a simple yet creative game. I wish there was more of a storyline to it! That would help entertain the reader to keep playing to get to the next milestone.

I really love the idea behind this game, and the long term progression aspect of it, but I wish there were some way to defeat obstacles. Maybe you have to be a certain level to destroy each different type of obstacle? So you would have to be level 3 to destroy a tree, level 10 to destroy a rock, level 20 to jump over water, etc. But as it stands, I always end up dying to an obstacle, not an enemy, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of the level up mechanic.
