A professional looking English translation!
Reviewed By: SegaJAM on 01 Oct 2021Played through the first two levels and felt that the translation was really well done. The fonts are great and fit with the game’s theme and the story and dialogue have a lot of charm.
The game itself is a really fun little puzzle-platformer. Some tips for those who want to check the game out:
1. Holding the B button charges your currently equipped weapon. The gourd can be thrown to activate hard-to-reach switches, the katana can do a charge slash that breaks rocks, and the fan can fire a tornado that can push enemies/objects away.
2. Hold up and press jump to do a high jump. This also works when jumping diagonally.
3. To move a block one space at a time, simply walk into it and hold that direction for a full second.
Here’s a link to to some gameplay for those curious about the translation or just want to see the game in action!
