It entered playtesting yesterday! And a couple of my testers have already finished, believe it or not.

It's a silly little game with a wonderfully fun script, edited up personally by yours truly. It actually probably has way more text than it needs; its dialogue volume is on par with a small RPG (about 120K) but the game itself only lasts about four hours. Maybe twice that if you hunt down all of the powerups, but at that you'll likely be scouring the action stages and not the towns :) Release is coming on Monday, if not tomorrow.

I'll definitely try this out, side scrolling action RPGs are usually fun to play and ironically I'm more likely to play this game because it is quite short. But I wonder how a person in Japan buying this game for the equivalent of 70-80 dollars thought about receiving a game that only lasts 4 hours. Maybe it had a discounted price?

A lighthearted game is a good change of pace now and then.
Problem with overly short games is just that when they are entertaining,
you'll always be left with the sensation you wish it was longer.
