Default Game Impressions

Great atmosphere, I really like the character and the tiny fairies. The level map is pretty
The multiple objectives are good for exploration, the level design is nice and I was happy to find some bonus zones.

I did the 3 first levels on "normal" and had a 100% for all. This difficulty is well balanced and good for a beginner. There are many (cute) checkpoints and you have numerous lives, so a death is not a problem at the beginning.

The controls are good but I have some problems to do accurate short jumps (I missed some attacks on monsters...). Perhaps I just need to be accustomed to the buttons, I'll see. Anyway, the aiming is nice and easy to use.

Another one where you can't turn off the music but keep the SFX? Great.

Note to devs around the globe: Some people don't want to listen to music when they play.

I don't care whether it's good music or not, I don't like ingame music.

Exceptions to this include the GTAs as the car radios add to the immersion (and can be turned off) and Halo; still annoyed me but... well, it's Halo.

How hard can it be to add the option? Most games seem to manage it.

Rant over; if someone would now kindly point out the option that I've missed I'll get on with looking stupid.

Just picked this tonight and, wow, what a fantastic platformer. The art work, the music, the exploration and controls are all excellent. The whole atmosphere just sucks you into the game. I love even just the little touches like the scared faces the monsters get when you're about to land on top of them.

Got a generous gift from someone and picked up a few other games as well, but it's hard to pull away from this one. Probably end up on my best of the year list.

This game absolutely kicks ass. Most of the time I buy iPhone games and dont even have time to play them before deciding they take up too much space and banish them to the vois of zillions of apps never to be played. This will not be one such app.

Really, it's probably the best platformer I've ever played on the iOS... actually, one of the best platformers I've played on any console/platform.

HIGHLY recommended!
Oh, Geez! There you go again forcing me to hit that 'buy' button again.....

Hey members of the Toucharcade.

The composer and assistant here. Glad you're all enjoying the game, and thanks to all those that left comments about the music!

We're having a bit of trouble with lack of sales at the moment, and would love to see it get off the ground. We're seeing a lot of positive reviews, which is awesome, but we don't seem to be getting purchases!

If it's at all possible, and I'm sorry if this puts any of you out, it would be perfect if you could spread the news of this game to friends and family, acquaintances, etc. If we get enough sales, we'll be able to port this to a plethora of other platforms, including (hopefully) Steam.

It really warms my heart to see that people are enjoying this game so much, and I hope you can help others enjoy it as well!

Thanks,
D. Mc.

Sorry to hear that but unfortunately I'm not surprised. People will pass up a great premium game for crappy freemium BS. I'll definitely try and spread the word. Also expect a review up on our site soon!

Yeah i've said how great it is over on the Retro Gamer website. Just put up a 5 star review (My fault for not doing this earlier, i need to start doing more reviews in the app store). Its a hidden gem amongst a fair bit of crap out there

+1 sales from me. Beautiful game. It must be brutal trying to get noticed on the app store these days. I'll give you a good review.
