(More customer reviews)I got this game on a good discount for only $5, so you'll have to bear that in mind; my review would be a lot lower if I'd paid full price. The first thing you'll notice about this game is that it's got a really nice graphics. The game backgrounds look beautiful; while the knight and the wizard looked really good, the thief, who has bare skin showing, looked a little ragged even at the highest resolution.
The game is essentially a collection of physics puzzles that you have to solve while enemies attack you. Sometimes there'll be no enemies, sometimes a few, sometimes a seemingly endless wave of responding enemies. The enemies are one of the weak points of the game. There are literally a few character models. You got the skeleton, the skeleton with a shield, the skeleton with a different shield, the skeleton with the sword, the skeleton with a sword and armor, the archer, the archer with armor, some bats, a fire breathing skeleton, and like to boss characters and then the final boss. It was kind of disappointing, but the real draw is mostly the puzzles.
The puzzles are actually pretty fun to deal with. You go to get your characters from one side of the map to the other and you can use their special powers to do it. For example the Wizard has no real attack but he can form bridges and form boxes and things to get you to locations it could reach otherwise. He does have one form of attack though I should mention; if an enemy is dumb enough to stand still, say an archer, then he can form a box directly over their head and squash them. I didn't get to use that power very often but it was still fun when I could. Mostly though, he's just used to be able to get your other characters to where they need to be. The knight is basically used to attack or sometimes break objects. The thief is by far the best character in my opinion; she has a ranged attack with her bow, a grappling hook that can swing around (including off of the platform the wizard can create, which is very cool), and she seems to be able to jump better than the other characters.
I initially mentioned that I would've rated this game a lot lower if I had to pay full price for it. This game is short, very short. I think it took me about seven hours to complete it, but a large portion of that was restarting the game because I bought a new video card I wanted to see what it looked like a better resolution. Realistically you'll probably only get about 5 to 6 hours max. You can replay the game, but there's really not that much to replay. By the time he finished the game you seen most of the physics puzzles a couple times already. Still, this is a fun game nonetheless.
