J’ai acheté le jeu, ‘J’aimerais savoir comment débloquer. Merci ### 4/5 — Mehr Updates *2019-02-06* Mehr Updates wären gut, paar Level hinzufügen. Es ist ziemlich kurz. ### 4/5 — iPhone X screen problem *2018-10-03, version 1.06* Make it fit the iPhone X screen please! ### 4/5 — Sarcastic but honest review. *2017-12-16, version 1.06* Wait a game with an original plot and story? What’s next, enjoyable gameplay? Oh wait... Ok aside from the amazing story and characters, the gameplay is somewhat a tad bit cheesy at times with the whole victory dance at the end of a level. But I just adore the stylish cutscene and fascinating storytelling that the game opens with when you first open the app. It give this game a 4/5 stars. ### 4/5 — Not amazing, but good. *2017-11-03, version 1.06* Levels were a little too easy and repetitive for me. Breezed through this but would be good for a younger audience. ### 3/5 — Enjoying it but have a few problems *2017-06-04* Controls just feel awkward but I think that's just the curse of touch screen for me. There's a part in the end of 2-13 right before getting to the totem, where you have a timed challenge but the attack button covers up a rock that's in your way. It's not so bad in normal play but with a timed challenge it's a little awful. Game is not bad though ### 3/5 — Good but repetitive and a too easy *2017-05-26* I liked this game, but after a while the levels do all feel very similar. Usually there is only one direction to go in, so you follow the path and kill a few of the easy to defeat enemies. Almost every life I lost was through impatience rather than any real challenge. Real shame as it showed promise. ### 3/5 — Just keep dancing. *2017-01-15* While the design is charming, the controls are questionably responsive. Meanwhile, gameplay will soon have you asking: is that all there is to hunting a legendary sea monster? Yes, that's all there is. ### 2/5 — Tout sauf du Zelda *2017-01-14, version 1.06* Si vous cherchez un jeu de quêtes et d'aventure dans la lignée de Zelda, comme le jeu est présenté, passez votre chemin. Il s'agit d'un jeu de puzzle/énigme agrémenté d'un peu de combat. Le caractère redondant du jeu fait malheureusement rapidement oublier les jolis graphismes. ### 3/5 — Looks great but boring *2017-01-05, version 1.06* This game. I wanted to like it. It's charming. It's got high production values. It's just not fun. Movement is slow and awkward, fighting is slow and awkward, puzzles are either way, way too easy or not that hard but convoluted. Great concept, great art, solid mechanics but a drag to play. Oh well. ### 4/5 — Great game *2016-11-21* Don't be fooled by everybody else's reviews, of course everybody is entitled to their opinion however I haven't found anything wrong with the game. Sometimes people expect too much in life. So far this game has been pretty enjoyable. definitely nothing like Zelda but it's pretty similar. If you like puzzle adventures I would get the game. ### 2/5 — Problems keep it from being great *2016-11-14* The game has some problems which keep it from being that much fun. The controls are too touchy and seem to lose calibration ( especially for movement) . Also the boss at the end of the first level is exponentially more difficult that a first level boss should be. After about 10 tried, I just quit. And I usually love games like these. It is too bad, the graphics are nice... I think the two issues I mentioned have kept this from selling. I would suggest that the developers fix the controls, make the bosses not killer tough in comparison to the level just played through (not easy, but easier more in proportion), and to get people to try it, drop the cost down. As it is, with its problems, I cannot recommend this game. ### 2/5 — Not worth the $$ *2016-11-11, version 1.06* Disappointed. I read somewhere that the game reminded them of Zelda..uh NO! Not even close. It isn't worth guys. Maybe if it was free. ### 4/5 — Entertaining *2016-10-04* This is a great little game, think Zelda mixed with a bit of Monument Valley. Cute and well drawn graphics mixed with addictive and challenging game play. Only thing that lets it down a bit is the movement controls which can be tricky to use at times, generally when it really matters! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Snore *2025-08-27* If you have no imagination and are easily pleased this game is for you. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-01-21* I have the arcade subscription and I played the second version to this game which I love! I actually paid for this one thinking it would be just as fun. The graphics are no where near as nice and the fact that there is no dodge button makes it annoying to play. Don’t waste your money on this game!!! I deleted it after 30min of playing ### 1/5 — Traducción al español pésima *2017-04-11, version 1.06* A pesar de que los textos están en castellano, distan mucho de estar correctos. Se nota que han hecho uso de un traductor online y nadie ha revisado los textos. ### 1/5 — Boring and monotonous *2017-03-20, version 1.06* Graphics are ok but that's about it. Gameplay is extremely monotonous, all levels feel the same. I would not buy again. ### 1/5 — Nicht kaufen *2016-12-06* Die Steuerung ist sehr schlecht und das Spiel ist auf Dauer langweilig! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2016-11-02, version 1.06* Thought the game would be more in depth, especially with a opening cinematic that helps lay out the plot so nicely. Found myself bored with the game by about the fifth level. Not worth the 2.99. ### 1/5 — Langweilig *2016-10-05* Sorry, aber das Spiel ist sein Geld nicht wert. Es ist total langweilig weil man immer das selbe macht . Null Abwechslung! Der Schwierigkeitsgrad ist viel zu niedrig. 2 Punkte gibt es für den Soundtrack. Das Spiel selber bekommt null Punkte. ### 1/5 — Langweilig!!! *2016-10-04* Das spiel ist einfach nur langweilig, immer das gleiche. Hierzu trägt auch die extrem hakelige und ungenaue Steuerungen bei. Schade us Geld! ### 1/5 — Not worth the money *2016-09-13, version 1.05* This app was quite underwhelming. The levels were too easy and the game itself became boring very fast. ### 1/5 — 'Like Zelda'? I don't think so *2016-09-05* What an insult to the creators of Zelda. This game is so boring. I'm going to stop buying games in the app stores without third party recommendations. There Re too many under developed bores on the App Store. Deleted mid 2nd level. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I made a mistake *2020-04-16* This isn’t bad game. It’s as good as the second. Almost. I made the mistake of playing the second first, and then buying the first without playing the free version. The lack of a dodge button really made it painful to play—only because I kept reaching for that empty spot where it usually is. But again, that was my bad. ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-03-22* Why do people not like this. So Zelda like. ### 5/5 — MUY BUEN JUEGO *2020-01-01, version 1.11* Es un excelente juego en mecánicas y niveles el diseño y el arte están excelentes aunque en mi opinión personal es algo corto aún así es un buen juego de reflejos y puzzles ### 5/5 — 面白い *2017-04-15, version 1.06* クリアしたので感想。 操作感がイラっとさせられつつも、アクション苦手な私でもクリアまでは楽しめるレベルでした。 パズル的な要素や長所短所ある装備を揃えるとか面白い。 ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-04-14, version 1.06* Ignore the bad reviews the game is fun and quirky definitely worth the $ 😊 ### 5/5 — Fun by level 12 *2017-04-14, version 1.06* At first the game moves pretty slow and is fairly easy, but the fun and the difficulty start picking up by level 12. Great mechanics and concept. Of course it's not Zelda but then, what is? ### 5/5 — Perfekt! *2016-10-06* Ein wirklich schönes und liebevoll gestaltet Spiel! Ich empfehle es euch! :) ### 5/5 — Absolutely EPIC *2016-10-06* This is a great game and an entertaining one too! ### 5/5 — Luca *2016-10-03* Gioco fantastico ### 5/5 — Kaufempfehlung *2016-09-30* Das Spiel macht Spaß, und die Grafik ist wirklich sehr gelungen.

Aber mit Spielen wie z.B. Zelda hat das ganze wenig zu tun von den Ähnlichkeiten bei der Grafik abgesehen.

 Das ganze ist ein Action Puzzler und kein Action Adventure.

 Es hat keine RPG Elemente. Aber es gibt ein kleines Inventar für Rüstung, Angel und Angelschnur.

 Wenn man die entsprechenden Ausrüstungsgegenstände gefunden hat kann man diese vor Beginn eines Levels auswählen. Dies ein klasse Spiel das liebevoll umgesetzt wurde und bekommt von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
