    I've completed all stages, collected all of the hidden items, beaten every boss, seen the good ending, and beaten the time trials. This is definitely worth more than a dollar! I love searching for all the hidden items and really enjoy the platforming. The secret stages are wickedly hard compared to the regular ones but are the best levels to demonstrate the game's finest points. Bosses are similar to Devious Dungeon's but more appealing with actual phases as their health bar gets smaller.

    The game should last you well more than a dollar's worth with 100% completion in around 10 hours depending on how good you are staying alive and finding everything. Any platforming fan should get this!



    It's a lot easier than you think!

    You can use any weapon but it's easiest with a sword that has a vertical attack: Shadow Blade, Wave Sword, Cutlas, Dragon Slayer, Flamberge, or the Demon Blade. If you don't have any of those, I recommend at least using a weapon with a 2-star range rating. You can use any relic but the Cursed Ring will really cut down the amount of time you'll spend fighting the boss (I did it so fast before, the boss died and bugged out before he could stop chopping and do his first nova).

    The Dark Wizard always starts with a series of chops. Let him align with you then take a baby step forward and attack. You can keep attacking like this until he's moved just short of the width of the main platform. If you don't have any of the vertical attack swords, just run around until he does his next move.

    His next attack is a nova. He flies to the center of the room and unleashes blasts of energy always in the same 8 directions. Simply step to his side and don't jump. Follow him immediately when he flies to one side of the room and stand underneath him to avoid the 3 moving pink orbs of raining pew pew. If you get caught in between, double jump over the orbs towards the boss and jump to attack him.

    The wizard will destroy the bridges at about 75% and 30% health remaining. Even if both are gone and he spawns the pink orbs, you'll be safe standing at the edge underneath him.

    Repeat all this until you've destroyed him!

    If you want the good ending,
    equip the holy pendant during this battle
    .



    Dark Wizard Speed Kill
    Just equip a cursed ring and take baby steps with each attack.

    So i'm not much of a platformer type either but this does look extremely fun to play and at a price tag of .99 there is no way I won't/can't try this on and put my bias on hold until I play it.

    Looks fantastik

    This is offline correct since it doesn't look like there'd be a reason for it to be online only?

    From the looks of your picture LASIK looks like it might not have helped...:D

    I was on the fence about it myself having worn hard contacts before soft contacts came out and now being in my 30's and soft contacts constantly I am curious about it. I was just wondering if it's completely worth it or not and did it hurt?

    Sorry I'm off topic again :)

    I've only played the first 2 stages, and i can already say this deserves my 5-stars.

    This is the highest value $1 game that i know of right now. This, and those premium games we got for their buck sale.

    The thing is, this isnt a single-minded endless high score chaser, which is what makes it worth SO MUCH MORE.
