Azaran: The Demon Bottle

It's a fine game. 3 dungeons, all with fun themes that somewhat relate to each other. Game took me about 80 minutes to beat, but has some replay value. Please just buy it dude it's like 2 bucks.

This is a very simple Zelda 1 like but I feel like it does the puzzle solving and the vibes perfectly. By simple I don't mean easy, I just mean it has very few original ideas from what I've seen. Really excited for the full 3D game

Benji has a philosophy about Zelda game design (perhaps he has more than one, but I'm only talking about the thing that I noticed). As expressed in this game, it boils down to this: Zelda puzzles are about noticing something, and then doing something based on that. This game is a simple but perfected example of that philosophy. Consequently, it feels a lot like three LoZ dungeons with the corners sanded off. Smoother, but smaller. Highly recommended if you love zelda or game design.

Very cute and clever Zelda-like. Mechanics so simple, they make your momma say "Boys, I can't make you meatloaf tonight, I'm too busy grinding out the good ending on a Azaran: The Demon Bottle, and I just gotta free Hatt-Zon from the shackles of the Sultan's desire." Excited to see how the sequel turns out!

A great little bite-size demo. The puzzles were fun to solve and there was only one that I got stuck on. Otherwise the combat was fun and simple and having six different directions to point really made it feel more fluid.

Short adventure. For 2 bucks American, it is a decent bit of puzzle adventuring. Collect the set amount of Gems hidden in each Dungeon then break some mysterious chain. I don't think the game very effectively tells you what is going on and I kind of glazed over the exposition. The mechanics are The Legend of Zelda but with some ideas in departure to the classic game that are more interesting, if not better in some ways. One change is being able to spear your way through cracking walls instead of needing bombs. Like The Legend of Zelda, walls don't have much detail to say they are bombable but because you can spear your way through walls you won't be burdened with a grind bombs for just testing walls. To say the least, this game is fun. I enjoyed my way through it. If you get stuck on a Puzzle, read the dialogue given to you and even if it sounds cryptic just think about where you have been, room layouts and stuff. You can solve everything by just giving it time to live in your brain. Fully Recommend.
