Great game but needs control improvement
Super fun game, just what I was looking for, but the controls are difficult to use. Movement is up down left and right. But dragging your finger or thumb around doesn’t work, you basically have to constantly lift your thumb up and move it. It’s so hard to change direction. And the other controls for your weapon and up to three other items are small and close together. You often can’t switch between them without looking, and my thumb loses the sense of position so I constantly have to reset my hand. I trigger the wrong item. I trigger no item. Super annoying, especially when winning the game depends on being able to use these items in combination. It takes twice as long to get through a challenge because you can’t successfully use the controls. I hope this developer fixes it, and I hope they make more games! I will buy them.

Hours of fun!
I downloaded this game for a flight so that I wouldn’t get bored. I didn’t realize how long I would be playing! I didn’t find any glitches in my 3 hours that I had played on the flight, and it was pretty smooth gameplay. I would very much recommend if you enjoy adventure games like Zelda!
A really good Zelda-like game
I highly recommend this game with a retro feel. The best part is the exploration. For me the bosses are just the right amount difficult: some put up a really good fight but none got frustrating. There are glitches, but the game is very playable, and is well worth my time and money.
10 stars.
Perfect graphics for my taste and though I play jrpg mostly this is a retro rpg like Zelda that I love to play.
Great Zelda clone for IOS with trash controls
Yes, the controls are as bad as everyone says.
It’s a D pad. And it’s too big. There are no vibrations to tell where you on the D pad. Starting out - you’ll literally have to look down to see where your thumb is before you get it down. I’m a good ways in and I still take damage because Aruna won’t move out of the way in time.
Not gonna lie, I was regretting buying this game within about 3 minutes of starting. But that feeling passed fairly quickly.
But like everyone else has said - if you like the old school Zeldas - you’ll like this. It’s a very condensed, bite-sized, Zelda game.
I’m very conflicted on what to rate this. If I could, I think I’d probably rate it 3.5 stars.

Amazing.
Fun game, makes it a lot more better when used with a PS4 controller.
Crashes
Game is really great but the crashes are not fun at all. 4 crashes in a row within the first hour played. It’s great your game is saved right when you heal your self. The gamer is good just not the crashes
Gem disappeared
I love this game but I can’t get past the 3rd tome. I got all of the gems but somewhere along the line the green gem disappeared. I went back to all of the chests on the level but they were all open.
Fun game but crashing on loading now
This game was fun while I could play it. Now the game crashes as soon as I hit the saved game to load. If this is fixed I would definitely give it 4-5 stars!😢
Bad directional controls.
This game would be a lot more fun with a dynamic joystick. The fixed directional pad is so hard to work with that it’s essentially the only thing adding difficulty to an otherwise simple easy adventure game.
As enemies become more difficult to kill and have more powerful attacks it’s becoming nearly unplayable.

Updates roll out without hesitation!
Thanks for listening to the fans :)!
This game now fully runs on keyboard, controller, and touch and the overall challenge/fun you can have is by and large one of the best!
Keep up the good work :) Can we see some DLCs? I’d love to contribute more to the developers ^^
Kind regards,

Great for what it is
I’ve seen reviews that refer to lack of story and rough controls, but it provided hours of fun for $5(really, what else can you do that’s fun for hours for little more than the price of a coffee). Playing on a phone, I personally don’t want to read small text and just want to hack and slash my way to victory. Controls can be tricky, but in my opinion it was just enough to add to the difficulty of an otherwise easy game without any annoyance. I definitely recommend this game if you like old school Zelda type games(pared down hack & slash game with armor/weapon upgrades and grid maps but minimal questing) and you want to kill 2-4 hours. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would certainly buy a sequel. No stress, just fun...Nicely done!

Old School Feel Aquired
I love the game so far, been playing an hour and already at the second to third stage. The only issue I have is when you dash, sometimes it will shoot you into a river and you get stuck trying to dash back to shore somehow. I’ve even been smacked by a grey frog and sent into the river by the waterfall/cross to the winter world. It’s irritating to say the least.
Other then that, you all made a nice tributary to Zelda.

Zelda
This games remind me of the original Zelda. Controls needs updating. Please allow to resize of the controller. Playing on a 12’ IPad Pro makes it nearly impossible.
Controls
Please work on the controls. They need help! Let the player have the option of enlarging the buttons.
Ok not great
Very simple, very easy. I played the whole game, but wasn’t very satisfied.
Needs polish
Needs a serious coat of polish. The controls are occasionally unresponsive, I frequently get stuck in walls or rivers or teleport back Into rooms as I dash around. And though I understand the boomerang is kinda OP it's still pretty dumb as a one time use item especially since several enemies are out of reach with no way to get their item drops. Shops will occasionally empty their items after I buy one thing and I'm unable to purchase the other gear. "Towns" consist of 2 buildings. One of which can't be entered and the other has the same npc Sprite with nothing else. It's just a bland environment. "Secrets" are all the same, clear the screen of enemies and get stairs or a door to a 10g chest. Eventually you'll have a significant more amount of money than is necessary. So I'd recommend just skipping most fights since golf and health used immediately are the oy rewards. If this game was baked a bit more and had some attention to detail I would find it really charming. But the generic story, bland environment , terrible controls, and lack of items leave a lot to be desired.

Awesome!!
I like it! The music is cool too!
Ummm?
I’m not sure what happened. The game just starts, no intro to the character or story to start. I walked around, killed some guys, forgot what the fairy said, then the queen spider killed me and I quit. I don’t know how to get stronger or what I’m doing. Sorry, going back to Guardian Tales right now. May try again later. If it’s supposed to be that simple it’s not engaging. Sorry.

Response from developer
Hi, thanks for playing and yes you are right, the game does jump you straight into the action. However the fairy does give you an introduction, and your overall objective of the game. She also tells you there is a town to the east (a couple of screens across), if you head there and speak to the npc you will get more direction on where to go. To get stronger you kill enemies to collect coins, then in towns you can purchase gear upgrades. There are also stronger swords to collect in the dungeons (you can get one first and then go and kill the spider queen). The game is a throwback to retro style games that focused on exploration, so there are no quest markers, just directions from NPC's. The map will show you where you have been so that is helpful to find your destination. Hope this helps, and you give the game another try. Thanks James
A lot of fun. Controls need work
This is a fun retro 8-bit Zelda-esque type game. With that said, the controls need a ton of work. Because the joystick controls aren’t dynamic, my finger slides off of them constantly. They don’t work for a touch interface. Most of my deaths have been from this issue.
