Update: Highscore added!

Princess Yaya has been kidnapped by the evil wizard Grizwald and is being held captive in Castle Doom (how original)! Your task, dear hero, is to save her from Grizwald's evil clutches and destroy his minions on the way.

Climb up Castle Doom's walls and try not to get yourself killed, as Princess Yaya would not appreciate that. Good luck and beware of traps and other terrible things along the way.

W - jump
A, D - move
S to use shield
MOUSE - AIM/SHOOT.
SPACE - to activate bow powerup.

I enjoyed this more than I should. Are the graphics not the best even for 2006? Yes. Are the controls more than a touch wonky? Yes, but there's a charm to it. Levels are short, the goal is clear, and it really focuses on your ability to navigate these levels. It reaks of early flash in the best way possible.

This is kinda so-so. I get why some reviews I've read are... less than flattering, but a 2006 game in 2022 is definitely going to be outdated.

As for my personal experience? Graphics aren't too bad, music's actually pretty good, but when even Easy mode kicks your ass six ways to Sunday, then you have a problem. It especially doesn't help that you die in one hit. Probably because I'm playing with a laptop, but I can't even make it past Stage 2.

And the thing is I can't find any video walkthroughs of it (the only one that didn't game over gives up in the middle of Stage 3 and leaves the camera running). Overall, it's alright by 2006 standards, but definitely hasn't aged well.

Nice game!
Pretty hard, one of the first games I played on NG!
For Mindraker: you CAN use the WASD keys, just change the control mode before the game starts (there is a screen for that).

First off, the controls aren't WASD, they are arrow keys.
It might be somewhat playable with WASD, *if* you could use the keys.

Dang, you really do have to read the instructions for everything nowadays, don't you? I thought the graphics could have been better. In fact, that was probably the weakest part of the game. I did appreciate being able to dodge those arrows. Just firing constantly is all you really need to do. Those bats are the most annoying. It's quite a challenging game.

I just like this medeival atmosphere. Yeah, not original, but fun to play in. It's been awhile since I've looked at stuff from freeworldgroup. I didn't even notice the use of a shield. It's a pretty good game.
