Here’s a little game I played on my iPhone recently. It’s a sidescrolling action platformer, quite floaty, with a fair bit of combat but also exploration. You get a sword and a changeable magic attack, and you level up as you go along.
The game is fairly polished apart from the slightly slippery controls. The art style is very chunky and low-poly, reminiscent of early 3D games. I think it’s intentional and it’s cool to see something calling back to this style that is seldom referenced. The explanation is that the game was literally made by three people: one for art, one for programming, and one for music. It’s obvious it was made by a small team, and it has charm.
It does get difficult at points, but if you seek everything out in each area the most trouble you’ll have will be the platforming. Some areas are also quite dark, making it difficult to appreciate your surroundings. The important thing though is that it feels good to play, if you can get past the floatiness I mentioned. Just remember to double tap the move button to run. Recommended.
