Ahhhh YeaaahhH!

Absolutely epic little action adventure. I love the proximity combat as it makes for some really good strategy battles. The game world is immense and I found that if you check out all the nooks and crannies you are duly rewarded with excellent rewards. I think it’s brilliant how one minute you can be dungeon crawling fighting all types of monsters and the next your out on the open seas battling sea monsters. I found the level progression to be extremely well balanced and quite rewarding. Overall this is a really nice indie surprise in a world swamped with games and not enough time to try them all.

very nice comments from a very nice guy. I cannot thank you enough for you support of my little brain-child projects.  I love that you dug deep in this game when, as you stated, there a literally millions of other small indie titles to choose from.  I will continue to bring indie games to the world. Life is Short = Be Creative - Thanks a million - 😀

Really strange design but I loved it. You've made a bunch of unique and exciting design choices in this one. I just wish it was a little less repetitive. But you have a super neat concept here.

Thanks! Strange is right. I agree it gets a little repetitive/grindy too. I'm glad you got some enjoyment out of it. It was a very fun project to create. Plus free is a good price to try something that might not be for everyone. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing 😁

What a nice little RPG, it may be strange but I love game with no main quest/plot where you just wander in the world, writing your own story. I did not play for a long time but I will certainly continue my journey :)

Thank you so much for the kind words. I love making strange little games that are open for interpretation. Thanks for playing :)
