Steam review snapshots
You got only one life and there are no checkpoints, so you´re gonna spend most your time memorizing enemy movement and attack…Its not complicating or anything, but from a controller perspective, using an analogue stick with the UP position being the jump is…Graphics, sound, command response, feelings: ALL in this Black Jewel perfectly reproduces a game of the 8-bit computers age.While the simplicity of the visuals aligns with the game’s overall design, it does little to create a memorable or immersive atmosphere.Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by single-player.
