Is this an Indie game? Well, let's see: retro
graphics, small child protagonist, mechanically
sound but somewhat unpolished gameplay... yup, sure
sounds Indie! Somewhat clunky animations make combat
a bit more of a chore than it need be (artificially
inflating the difficulty) but its got some good art
and sound. And it makes The Number go up. It's hard
to resist that combination.

Yeah, this is what I mean. I am far more interested in the games I got
from you then the crap GOG is giving away.

With that said, free is free.

Ignore what that webpage says about it being available until May 2024
(GOG really needs better web-designers); this free offer is only up
for three days. So get it now rather than later! Time's a'ticking!

Yeah. This was a hard pass from me. Another SNES era style sidescroller.

No more GOG for me! They are now charging me sales tax because they
think I live in Washington State when I live in Montana and my GOG
account says so! They want me to go through hoops to try and fix
this. I have my VPN turned off.

I just lost a one-time discount on something because I did not
complete the purchase. No more!

I passed since it didn't have good ratings and doesn't look fun to me.
