Quoting: tuubiMore than a few times due to fumbling with the weird up+attack spell mechanic

Up+Attack for a secondary attack is actually the default for Castlevania games. So those coming from Castlevania, will feel right at home. But, I can understand it being awkward for new comers.

I am really happy to see Alwa's Awakening being covered. I love this game!

It's one of the best retro inspired games I've ever played. It really takes me back to being a kid playing on the NES.

I didn't have any problems with the controls. Don't let the "floaty" jump discourage you. It is actually very precise. It's just different from most NES games.

If you have any interest in retro gaming, give this a try. It's well worth the price.

Yeah, I love Wadjet Eye Games too. I think their main strength is in the writing. I'm looking forward to seeing Dave Gilbert's talks from AdventureX once they're uploaded. He did one called "Shutup! Creating better dialogs with fewer words" that sounds very interesting. It's a good quality in a writer to be able to tell a lot and build atmosphere without using too many words.

Agreed. That's what sucks me in. The great stories and the characters. Dave's a pro.

I didn't know the talk from AdventureX will be posted. I'll keep on eye on their youtube page.

Thanks for writing about this. I love Wadjet Eye Games!
I've been trying to get into the Deponia series now that it is on Linux. But despite Deponia's great visuals, I still like Gemini Rue and the Blackwell series way more. They have great stories and logical puzzles.
