JackQuest for Android

While I am a fan of platform games. This game has found many cons on my list. If it were free the rating would be 3 stars but considering you must purchase to play I feel I should be less lenient. The health system in this game is beyond lack luster and needs a work-up/update. It is stingy to say the least. Each hit takes away half a heart and you gather hearts as you progress through the story. You can refill hearts with potions that drop (RARELY) or purchasing them from the merchant (EXPENSIVE). This becomes incredibly infuriating when you hit a save point next to a boss with 1 hit until death. The game is fun, but falls incredibly short next to other games such as Celeste. I will change my review if I see the devs work on something to make the game a tad less stingy with the health system.

The controls are a major let down.

It says press a button but I see no buttons

The game is way too short to justify the $6 asking price. There is only one map, three bad guys, only one item (to breath under water), one extra weapon besides the sword, just a few secret hidden places, and a shop that has a few items. The game play itself was great I had no issues with the controls. But, it is just way too short to justify $6. I feel ripped off.

I have 1/4 of the controls showing unplayable
