This game is hysterical! The site of the three goons and the gnarled wizard hurtling across the screen is amusing, as is the way they just mindlessly trample everything they see... castles, trees, rabbits, bears... It's sort of a frightening commentary on human behavior, but a funny satire too. There are so many little naunces here, from doors and gates slamming to no avail to the "Rapunzel" braids dangling helplessly out of the towers.
I like the sampled voices. They really add to the humor. Graphics are colorful and pleasing, especially the rainbow. Music is good. I like the old Metroid rehash. The speed metal track for "on fire" is anachronistic but fits the theme of the game quite well.
Gameplay is fun and addictive, but I have a few complaints. The randomization of the resources is a little frustrating. On some play-throughs, I barely got anywhere at all due a complete lack of food appearing. Many times, deer or rabbits would appear right in front of some tentacles, making it impossible to recharge without losing in the process.
And as other reviews have noted, you would be better if we could keep our upgrades from play-through to play-through. I also think the option to upgrade health amount would be good, as it seems to run out too quickly when power-up gates fail to appear in time. Maybe the ability to purchase potions that refill health of magic instantly, but are limited to one-time use per potion?
Very amusing game.
