Review by Bjorn on 30-04-2003

Man is this game bad. An annoying interface, non-interesting and repetitive music, ugly (though original) graphics, bad humor, no story (or not something worthy of the word) and horrifying gameplay all packed together in a single game. I still give it a 4, for at least trying to make something of it.

I thought this game was going to be great when I downloaded it because of the nice looking backgrounds, but when I got it I found all the other graphics had been drawn poorly in paint I wasn't sure what to think. It only gets worse from there, because you get attacked almost every step you take (by a saars virus, which was quite funny) and the battles are boring. I'd have given it a 3.5, but I gave it the benifit of the doubt. Its not totally awful, and I rather liked the backgrounds. It has its moments.

I was very excited to download this game, as the name was very creative. However after being attacked by millions of popup text boxes, and then finding that even the creators of their game were paying it out as we went through the game. This game sucked like shit. Fighting these weird box things. And basically walking around like a nobbit, i would have rathered play an above view RPG like on those Old computers, with the dodgy swords and things.. where you could ask questions.. those games kicked.
