The verdict
A budget Lost Vikings-style puzzle platformer where you juggle three characters with different abilities. Fine as a cheap or free session, but clunky controls, bugs and dated art put off many players.
Great for
Puzzle-platformer fans who like Lost Vikings or Trine and want a cheap, challenging game
Main risk
Fiddly three-character controls, bugs and repetitive puzzles make it feel like a chore
What players love
Three characters with unique abilities
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 positive reviews
“You control three characters and two have special power that others can't do so you need to think who goes where so all can make it to end of level.”
