### 4/5 — スマホの横スクアクションとしては良作。

*2022-05-24*

左右移動とジャンプ、アタックが基本操作で遊びやすい。所々気になる箇所はあるが値段にしては良いと思った。

### 4/5 — 懐かしい

*2020-06-20*

雰囲気がよく、気楽に楽しめます(^^)

### 5/5 — Scarify, Really?

*2020-01-12*

Certain translation errors and highly predictable boss patterns aside, this is a highly playable app that also does not flood you with new ads every five minutes. If you enjoy action RPGs, it is worth the time to play through once.

If the later game gives you trouble, just remember these two tips: the bosses have attack pattens that you can exploit after learning them, and your dash attack will give you a few frames of invincibility to dodge otherwise unavoidable attacks.

### 5/5 — Legend of The Moon

*2019-02-19*

Enjoying it very much. Yes, its a simple side scroller, but done well. Nice graphics, challenging without being so ridiculous you give up. Easy upgrades, easy controls. Plenty of opportunities to save and upgrade all abilities and weapon easily. No grinding!!! 
Just a fun little game to enjoy. 
Thank you!

### 1/5 — Lag makes it unplayable

*2025-06-27*

Reached the point in the game after beating a boss where the game lags so bad it's unplayable and nothing will fix it

### 1/5 — Update

*2025-05-21, version 1.0*

I am tired of updating,but in this no updating game ,you still need to update all the time.

### 1/5 — Where do I begin...

*2016-04-06*

Numerous graphics problems. The primary problem is very jerky animation when the screen is scrolling. This is a bit of a dealbreaker. 

Unfortunately there are several other graphics issues: poor character rendering (glowing edges); inconsistent style between characters (2.5 D) and the background (2D); everything has a vertically stretched look to it; information panels are too small to read; animations are terrible... you get the idea.

The story and dialogue is also terrible. Overall the game has a very amateurish feel to it. All this can be seen within two minutes of playing the game. I'd hate to see what other problems would be encountered after longer.

### 3/5 — 懐かしい感じ

*2019-12-18*

面白い

### 3/5 — 可も無く不可もなく

*2017-11-16*

本編は二時間程でクリアできます。おまけ要素はクリアさせる気無いだろ…と思うほど理不尽難易度。精霊の攻撃と敵が重なりすぎて画面が見難いです。

### 3/5 — Fun, but seems impossible close to the end

*2016-12-29*

Possible spoiler alert:  I was definitely enjoying the game, and I think I was pretty close to the end when I was in a battle (with the moon?) that seemed impossible to win.  Rocks kept coming crashing down on me that were pretty impossible to avoid.  And each time I'd try again I had to spend coins to fill up my hearts.  I tried many times to defeat the boss but eventually decided to give up on the game due to the seeming impossibility of it.  Other than this problem, I would have given the game 4 stars.

### 3/5 — 응원도 응원이지만

*2016-08-27*

컨텐츠가 부족했습니다.. 그냥 어렸을때 하던 플래시 게임을 한 느낌?! 리뷰가 좋아보여서 바로 질렀는데 약간 당황스럽네요 ㅋㅋㅋ
 다음에 만드시는 게임은 좀더 많은 컨텐츠를 가지고 돌아오셨으면 합니다. 화이팅!

### 3/5 — 재미는 있어요~

*2016-08-23*

옛날 2g폰으로 도트 rpg밖에 없던 시절 그때 게임을 너무 재미있게 해서 요즘 게임은 별로 재미없다고 생각 할 때 쯤 리뷰보고 다운받아서 했는데 생각외로 재밌네요~
하지만 플레이 타임이 너무 짧아요....
게임시작하고 2시간 30분만에 엔딩 봤습니당... 재미는있지만 혼자 자급자족 캐릭터 키우는 맛에 하시는분들은 감질나게 아쉬울듯 합니다

### 3/5 — 할만 했습니다 하지만

*2016-08-13*

스토리시작이 너무 어설프고.. 엔딩까지가 너무 짧습니다. 스토리 중 npc 대사는 너무 기계적인거 같았고, 무기, 갑옷 업그레이드가 펫 4마리 정도 모을때, 풀 업그레이드 될 정도로, 돈모으기가 쉬웠으며, 사망 패널티가 적용 안되기도 했습니다. 1인 개발이라는 점에서는 대단하지만 npc대사에선 큰 실망이였습니다.

### 3/5 — Pets, level ups, and platforms!

*2016-04-08*

Simple but effective, this fun platform adventure quickly hooked me in!

### 5/5 — Amazing! Def worth the $!!

*2025-07-02*

This is by far the best game i’ve purchased on the appstore and it’s cheap too!

### 5/5 — Worth the $$$ No IAP Needed

*2025-06-03*

Great game for the price, controls are smooth, pace and difficulty seem just right, so far so good and already worth more than the $1.99!!!!

### 5/5 — I recommend other people try this game

*2025-05-15*

This awesome game and keep up developers

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2023-02-24, version 1.0*

I enjoyed this game, nice job devs👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

### 5/5 — Legand of the moon

*2023-01-17, version 1.0*

Good game

### 5/5 — Simple fun

*2022-05-16*

Great little game to fill time while waiting for the bus, waiting for doc appointment, or waiting for your date to show up!

### 5/5 — good

*2022-05-14, version 1.0*

good game

### 5/5 — シンプルで面白い

*2021-10-20*

2時間程でクリア…したのだが一箇所誰もいないボスエリアがある。 はて…？

クリア後のボスラッシュもクリア。
攻撃力の高い月の精霊と無敵時間激長のダッシュ切りを駆使すれば以外とあっさりいけます。
クリア後に真の黒幕がわかるのですが、「ふーん」レベルでした。
実は真の黒幕を最初に◯◯出来る！それでトゥルーエンドが！とかだったら面白かったんですけどね

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-07-06*

I really enjoyed this, took me a couple days to complete and it’s definitely challenging the more you play, great story too. Good job

### 5/5 — まあまあ遊べる

*2020-01-18*

まあまあ遊べるかな
