### 5/5 — One of favorite Wii games

*2026-07-30*

I am glad this game appeared in app store, can’t wait to replay it again. Love the music and the ancient Greece theme.

### 5/5 — Nyxquest

*2025-12-12*

Amazing and creative

### 5/5 — Damn🥳

*2025-09-12, version 1.91*

This game sooo dope.The storyline and everything is on point,but just the missions (lvl9) are annoying sometimes.But overall the game dope.I felt emotional when it ended 🥲

### 2/5 — I didn’t even get to play it😔

*2025-08-06*

Sooooo when I’d downloaded this app I was so excited but it wouldn’t let me in it would just show me my Home Screen again 😔

### 3/5 — Really good but why are there so many adds!

*2025-05-30, version 1.91*

I found this game from YouTube and it is really fun. I love the story and how you don’t have to learn really hard moves to be able to get somewhere. The reason however that this is three stars instead of five is first, there are so many adds! Every checkpoint an add every time you die if you want to go back to the last checkpoint add. I know you can remove them for 3 dollars but it is a 2d adventure game for goodness sakes why do we need adds? There is also a glitch every once in a while where after a point where you are talking to someone you will keep walking forwards even though I am not holding down forward making it really hard to play the game. And to fix it I have to get out of the game and back in which wouldn’t be too bad if it didn’t mean I lost all my money progress. Other than those two things the game is really fun and I like it.

### 5/5 — We need more simple but cool female lead characters

*2025-05-16*

I remember when I was like 8 and I fell in love with this game on a family friend’s old iPad. Even now, this game is one of my favorites. Time for me to finally beat it 😭. I wish people made more female lead mythology based games. I would be SOLD. I also love how simple this is. I love flying around.

### 5/5 — This game was my childhood

*2025-04-27*

I loved this game so much when I was a child and I searched for it recently and I’m so happy that i finally found it!!😭

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2025-04-20*

It’s a great idea, but it definitely needs some bugs to be fixed. I think if it was worked on more it could be a really good game. Right now it already is a pretty decent game but it could be better.

### 4/5 — Great start

*2025-03-08*

I’d like to congratulate the developers . Refreshing and simple , keep it coming folks. You have a whole genre to master. Bravo

### 4/5 — It’s great but it freezes during level 5

*2024-11-11, version 1.91*

I get to a certain point in level 5 and the functions stop working I can’t move or fly - I can see on a your tube walkthrough that a block is supposed to turn yellow and then I can raise it up but I’m stuck - I’ve tried starting at the previous check point but always end up with the same situation - such a shame as I’m loving the game
