    Because the game itself invites comparison to link's awakening (beach, grappling hook, etc) i cant help it but compare it to link's awakening, and at the start i really felt "okay so this is for someone who really just wants more LA (and i do), now just convince me that playing this is more worth it than just replaying LA". And around the grappling hook dungeon i kinda started to get that either the game had like 20 unique mechanics or it was legit just a half hour game because no way that's so early right?
    And then it ended early, and the tower mode is okay but this isn't even early access, it's a full release. For the price i dont know how else they could price it and it's polished enough that it doesn't warrant being free or anything, but this did not convince me that just replaying LA isn't a better idea.

      I'm in the same boat. I loved everything about it but $8 is steep for a 45ish minute experience.

      Yeah, I thought "ah, he woke up, now to the village! Ah no, immediately to the sword. Now to the village? Ah no immediately to some dungeon...
      I'd like to play it, when it's like €1 or 2.

      Seem this was more to be a roguelike like Hades than a story game like LA. Now if floor 51 is the final floor and no boss, we may have a problem.

    You need to check out Void Vigil which just came out in EA. It's a brotato like that is only $3 but has a lot of depth. Made by the same devs who made Boneraiser Minions.

    I guess imo $8 is pretty justified for this game. Now if that tower part wasn't there, it would've probably easily cut the price in half.

    A 30 minute game from what I'm reading in the steam reviews.
    If it were extended (finish, as so many stated) this would be a good game. The developer needs to throw about 15 to 20 hours of content to make it comparable to links awakening
