Under rating threshold (show) It was a pretty fun, simple game. I don't see how you can complain about difficulty though... Hades killed me three times, and those were the only three times i died...

Under rating threshold (show) the last level of this game is an excercise in frustratiojn i'll tell you that much, basically i like it, but that last guy is simply too much, so some great logic here, i fail 9 chances out of 10 so the dev fails 9 chances of 10, lol 1*

Under rating threshold (show) Great, i forgot the name of the hero in the mythology. there's a story like this in every country. It made me think in my Atari times, hope not to be the only one.

Under rating threshold (show) Dude its not frustating, you can easily get it if you understand the pattern of platforms and bosses....if you give up so soon it is surely going to frustate you that you didn't complete the game...5/5 touching story =/

Under rating threshold (show) it's funny... i was totally talking about this yesterday (way back in the 90s of comments) and now we have this chain going. theres somethings missing from it though. a) hermes guided him through the underworld and back b) after she dissapeared he went into a clearing and apparently sang the saddest song ever. the animals in the forest couldn't stand it and so ripped him to shreds and ate him.

Under rating threshold (show) this is a good story: Orpheus was the son of the Muse Calliope and therefore a grand musician. His wife was a dryad, Eurydice, who also attracted the attentions of Aristaeus. Aristaeus pursued her until she stepped on a poisonous snake and was forced into the Underworld. Orpheus was determined to retrieve his beloved. He journeyed down to the underworld, first charming Charon, ferryman of the dead, and lulling to sleep Cerberus, the three-headed watchdog. He encountered Hades, who initially refused to release Eurydice, but Orpheus's music so touched Persephone that she pleaded Orpheus's case, and Hades relented. There was one condition: that Orpheus not look back on their way out. Of course, Orpheus was worried that Eurydice was not behind him, and he fatefully glanced back to see if she was following him. She disappeared back into Hades, and he lost her forever.

There was one condition: that Orpheus not look back until they were both in the Upper World. Of course, as soon as Orpheus was in the Upper World, he fatefully turned and looked back, forgetting that they both needed to be in the Upper World, and Eurydice disappeared back into Hades, and he lost her forever. KEEP IT GOING

Under rating threshold (show) What art. The music was simple, but effective. Obviously, the same goes for the graphics. And the badges/achievements are good reward for the work done. Good mini-thinking puzzles, as well.

Under rating threshold (show) Very enjoyable with a good message. Not only an ARTISTIC pixel-art game, but a surprisingly challenging one as well. Great soundtrack also!

Under rating threshold (show) Not bad, for what it is. Clever, though several segments were painful, in particular the actual "Don't look back" part. Not the worst game I've seen featured. No, that would probably be Death Dice Overdose...
