Graphics: 5 out of 10
Sound: 5 out of 10
Gameplay: 7 out of 10
Hardness factor: 7.5 out of 10
Overall: 6.5 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics were nice and refreshing. Most things are very kid
oriented, but there's a sufficient amount of detail in them. The castle
looks pretty cool, and most enemies are original, though some seem overdone.
Sound: The music is okay. On one hand, it was made pretty well (high
quality) but the songs just get incredibly annoying after you hear them
enough and are stuck in the game. Sound effects are pretty cool.
Gameplay: A really cool sidescroller. You make your way through a castle
(by entering doors and finding keys) collecting items to help you later in
the game. Doors, keys, and items are hidden everywhere; in walls, in
columns, and even in enemies. This game is extremely frustrating and
confusing, so it takes a lot of time to beat, unlike most games for the
gameboy. While this may be looked upon as a downside, it's simple
enough to be fun at the same time.
Hardness factor: Like stated above, this game takes some getting used
to, and is very, very hard. You'll probably want to take a break from the
game every once in a while to clear your head as this game is frustrating.
Overall: 6.5 out of 10. I definitely recommend this game. It's fun, simple,
and almost everything that makes a game playable. While this game is
definitely not as good as a lot of other sidescrollers, it is for the
regular Gameboy.
