I have this game on mobile and still love it. I'm glad it's here, too! BOTD shed some light on a truly fantastic game.

I just got the easy badge and enjoyed seeing the rest of the game from the walkthrough. There's no way I can finish it.

NINE years after getting the badges, here we met again... I never forgot this game actually. Some times I just remembered (that game where you couldn't turn back was great). Now in 2018 it looks even better. Great sound, great art (!), everything is so well made. I wonder if a game like this was released for NES or Atari back then?! It would be a classic nowadays. Great job, five stars. And it can look a bit tricky one some screens, but it's not that hard.

I wondered why I apparently gave this game one star years ago. I remember now. Not gonna change my rating. It's just too stressfull for me.

Ah. Don't look back. One of my all-time favourites on this site. I have had badge for a long time now, but I always replay it when it's Badge of the Day.

If this game ever makes it big, maybe they could get the Boston song as a soundtrack. I'm a little dubious that's going to happen.

I actually killed the dog by jumping over it the first time and shooting it in the back, then let it jump over you and shooting it in the back again. The last time just jump over it like the first time and shoot it in the back again.

A retro-pixel art pseudo-philosophical platformer where you play as a dude who wants to get to his girl. It's not exactly original, even for 2009. But mythology based games are always nice, the game is simple fun, and the art is...well, it's atari-ish, so the art is faithfully single color shapes, but the palette/atmosphere is nice. The music kind of clashed with the art though. Gameplay wise, I don't like when platformers don't let you control the height of your jump, but it wasn't too much of a problem. I do like when games simply restart the screen when you make a mistake, really prevents you from getting frustrated from losing progress. The monochrome sprites were only an issue once, because I didn't expect the mid boss to have a "weak spot", but once I figured that out I understood it for the boss.

Tip if you can't pass the boss level - Stand next to left barrier but don't go through; keep spamming bullets at dog. Most of the time it'll rebound off the barrier and you can pretty much kill it in about 10 seconds.

nice game. only difficult boss was the lion, really. game shouldn't be too difficult or too easy, and hits it right about the middle. not sure what's going on with the Leaderboard/Highscores though: it's all kinda messed up. that boss tune was just a little grating on the ears too, but other than that, great game.

... I can't tell if I'm damaging the dog or not, and I can't tell if the dog is supposed to occasionally go through the barrier that damages me but not him?

I come back to this game year after year and it never fails to amaze, touch and unsettle me. Especially those sighs. Love the atmosphere of this game, thank you!

ln Greek myth, there were two lovers: Orpheus and Eurydice. When Eurydice died, Orpheus sought out Hades, the god of the underworld. The dog you fight
represents the guardian of the gate, Cerberus the three-headed dog. Upon meeting Hades, Orpheus convinced the god by singing and playing the lyre. Moved, Hades allowed. There was one condition: Eurydice was to travel behind Orpheus and if he were to look back before exiting the gates, she would be lost. Orpheus took the offer, suppressing every urge to turn. Just before the gates, he made sure she was behind him, thus breaking the condition. Eurydice faded before him and returned to the underworld. Grief-stricken Orpheus never sang nor played the lyre again. Refusing to play for the Maenad, female followers of Dionysus, mainly known as the god of wine, he suffered the fate that every victim did: he was ripped apart. Painful as that might be, he was reunited with Eurydice once again.

Too much of this seems to be spray and pray after the first boss. The big demon thing can aim its shots and shoot enough that it's impossible to dodge. Sure it's possibly to eventually beat them, but it should be possible to do it on the first attempt without luck or explanation of what they are. Just seems like you're meant to fail. I don't like actually wasting time.
