Tiny Dangerous Dungeons 9+

Tiny Dangerous Dungeons is a great game-the controls are tight, the platforming is satisfying and there are secrets and upgrades everywhere. I just wish there was a little more of it. Even when going after the hidden life fruits that extend your health, You can beat this game in a week. There is a time trial mode and a selection of achievements, but if like me you don't really care about that, then just keep in mind that this isn't exactly an grand, epic adventure. Then again, I'd pick a good, quick game over a bad, long game any day, and at 80p it's an amazing deal. I highly recommend it as a metroidvania in your pocket, but reconsider if you want something you can really sink your teeth into.

Well worth the asking price for such a well-polished little gem. Great chip tune music and the gameboy era graphics are perfect for the metroidvania gameplay. If you're the type of person who thinks they might like this game, then just buy it already, because you will love it. The only detrimental aspect is due to the precision required using a touch screen phone.

This GameBoy-inspired platformer truly is a blast. The controls are smooth, the puzzles simple yet satisfying and the challenge is just the right side of frustrating. Even as someone who owned a GameGear in the murky past, I can't fail to appreciate the retro graphics and chiptunes. I feel slightly churlish only giving it four stars, but it's perhaps not quite as endlessly replayable as, say, Goblin Sword. Nevertheless, this is a minor quibble and anyone after some classic, back-to-basics gaming would be hard pushed to beat this, especially at this price.

On a final note, playing on what is now a rather antiquated iPhone 4S, I had none of the crashing issues other buyers have indicated. It worked perfectly to the very end - and I very much enjoyed it. So should you.
