The controls are a major let down.

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.

It says press a button but I see no buttons

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

Hi friendly developer! Your controls are not great... actually they are pretty bad.

See edit below. <br/><br/>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. <br/>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. <br/>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. <br/>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. <br/>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’🤞<br/><br/>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.<br/>Stick with Adventures of Pip, Oceanhorn, Sword of Xolan, Goblin Sword, Grimvalor, and Swordigo.

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.

I have 1/4 of the controls showing unplayable
