I love the map options, and I love the menu options. I was just pleasantly surprised because I had just expected much more limited game play, and I was treated to some exploration. <br />And, of course, the best part of reviewing these indie games is that they are all inexpensive, so cost doesn't really come into it for me.Doctor Pottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14902882623105289547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984358480957165622.post-60235634361084868912012-06-09T23:22:09.362-07:002012-06-09T23:22:09.362-07:00I think I played about the same amount of time and...I think I played about the same amount of time and came to very similar conclusions. I like that the screens were very reminiscent of Atari 2600. I also really like that there's a world map of sorts that seems like a mix between a "Legend of Zelda" map and the mapping from "Super Metroid." Again, it tells you enough, but is still "minimalist" enough that it fits within the game.<br /><br />For me, I feel that it'll be one of those games that when I don't know what to play, I'll play it for about 30 minutes, of which the first 10 will be spent figuring out what I was doing the last time I played.Jaconianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17119915477920548608noreply@blogger.com
