I bought this game and I'm not sure I want to put myself through the frustration of playing it to completion. I had a lot of critiques of the game, but then I read that it's just a port of an old MSX game, so I stopped worrying so much, knowing the developer should be judged more on the accurate translation to the 3DS.
The game could be saved if there were simply health drops from enemies--just that one thing would have fixed it. But instead, you have to minimize your mistakes to an obsessive degree, which is hard when lots of enemies fly in irregular patterns near the ceiling, requiring pixel-perfect practice to jump on their heads without taking damage.
And while your character is beautiful and well drawn on the title screen, her sprite is squished to fit in a 1x1 block, making her look more like an overweight office worker. I think the only thing I really enjoyed is the amusing game over sequence where your heroine becomes a zombie, loses her jumping ability, and becomes doomed to walk the dungeon forever. This actually got me a little horny, to be honest, overweight office worker appearance or no. I focus my mind more on the girl from the title screen when it happens.
