In the game you control a demonic minion who has fallen in love with the recently kidnapped princess who is set to marry the demonic overlord in which you serve. The levels consist of fairly short escort missions where you pave the way to be clear of obstacles for the AI princess. The puzzles are very fun and enjoyable but at times become very tedious and burdensome, and not because the puzzles themselves are difficult but due to the incompetent AI Princess that will always seem to walk herself into the absolute worst possible position. You will quickly grow to hate the princess you are trying to save as she walks right into the oncoming path of a block you have to push in order to complete a puzzle, this results in you crushing the princess and having to start over and over and over.

The game feels as if it has drawn inspiration from other games such as Ico and the “Murphy sections” of Rayman Legends. Another frustration of the game is there are no re-bindable keys…which wouldn’t be an issue if the default keys weren’t so obscure, you are forced to us A and D to move left and right and then greater than and less than signs to jump and attack, to make matters worse you are constantly being forced to alternate from the keyboard to the mouse to use perhaps the game’s most interesting and defining gameplay mechanic; your magic chalk powers, which allow you to complete puzzles by drawing chalk lines on the screen to create ropes and fuses that can be used to complete puzzles.

Early on in the game you are presented with another interesting gameplay mechanic; the ability to drink a potion and change from an undead demon to a living human prince for short periods of time, this adds a unique spin on how you handle the puzzles, as the prince it is easier to defeat enemies whoever you cannot jump even remotely as high as your undead counterpart, but as the prince you are able to carry the incompetent AI princess to safety during the many times she’s about to get herself killed.

The game does make use of its chalk art style… but more so as a cop out for some of the fairly poor character (and slightly laggy) animations that occur. These slight graphical hiccups are by no means game breaking as this is not a precision platformer by any means; however a bit more polish could have avoided this minor complaint all together. Overall the game is enjoyable and if you are in the mood for a fairly decent puzzle platformer with interesting gameplay mechanics and decent pacing then this game is definitely worth picking up for the asking price of $5.99.

A unusual puzzle platformer where you play a put down minion trying to save the princess from your evil boss.
The whole game looks like hit has been drawn on a blackboard/chalkboard giving it a very distinctive style.

+ Great chalk art style.
+ Logical Puzzles.
+ Lots of levels.

- Controls require 3 hands due to positioning of keys and needing mouse. Takes some getting used to.
- Keys cannot be redefined.
- Many levels very short indeed, under 30 seconds completion time.

The game is a lovely platformer that is worth a purchase....except for the fact that if you have a IOS or Android device, you can buy it on there for 0.99 cents.

It's a very challenging puzzle game where you need to use all your wits to get past obstacles, and it's a great time. The story and art is great.

A short First Impressions video is here:

Charming game. My first impression is really good, reminds to me games such as ICO, but obviously in other league like portable games. As a puzzle game is pretty well designed, but I must say an advice that a controller support is really desirable because you can't rebind the keys on keyboard... and you're force to play with keyboard&mouse doing things like jumping, attacking and writting with the pencil (mouse) and it is not really easy. On my keyboard's configuration is this:

-A (left)
-D (right)
-Mouse left (pencil)
-, (attack)
-. (jump)
-ç (prince's tranformation)
-space (pause/options)

As you can see is not easy to play this, and controller will be better or at least a rebind of keys. But a long this, is a really good game.

Anyway I bought the game for showing to Game Arts that here, on Steam, there are fans of his Lunar and Grandia franchises to support.

EDIT 19/12/14: Well I'm on level 8 and I must recognize that this game is poor on controls because of not being possible to rebind keys and not support control pad. If you're not really good playing platforms, skip this game because you could not beat this game, sincerely.

EDIT 27/12/14: I'm on level 12-7 right now. Sorry but NO. I can't recommend this game just because its poor porting quality of controls. They are really a madness pain experience to beat and get all coins and achievements. They have done a bad job by not let people play in control pad or at lesat, rebind the keyboard. Trust me, don't expend your money untill they fix it (probably never).

EDIT after beat it: Ok, as I said is hard to recommend because of controls, but its puzzle games, its story very charming and its own art are really good. Pick this game on sale if you can afford a try harder with its controls.

Creative game good premise and was probably fantastic on the PSVita however the PC version does not support any sort of basic gamepad support so your hands cramp up due to being restricted to the keys AD <>? for controls and then using the mouse on occasion. Honestly I really like how the game looks and the mild story that it encompasses but I simply cannot get past these abominable controls. Case in point if your going to release a pc game atleast give use some options so we can atleast map our own controls. Having to use Joytokey to force controller support is not my idea of fun basic start up in a game as casual as this.
