    Firstly, I just want to say that I don't think Ittle Dew is a 2D Zelda rip-of'. Ittle Dew is a charming and artistically beautiful game that simply makes fun of 2D Zelda games and I have got to say, it's a very entertaining game.

Ittle Dew is a charming and artistically beautiful game that simply makes fun of 2D Zelda games and I have got to say, it's a very entertaining game.

    On the other hand, this game brings nothing new to the table but it wasn't a disadvantage for me, I have had fun playing it, solving puzzles that sometimes made me confused and stuck, I had to take a brake and approach this game differently. I liked it, it was somewhat enjoyable for me, especially during the dialogue sections which were funny and clever.

    An equally significant aspect of the game was its art style, It was a pleasure looking at the vibrant art during my playthrough which made this game one of the best presented block puzzle game ever.

    Despite the great art style and clever writing this game did had some problems, for ex. its length, I was able to beat the game in less than 4 hours, I know it might turn some people off but I have realized that in some cases this is not a disadvantage, one of the recent examples was the game called Gone Home made by The Fullbright Company which could be completed in 2 hours but Gone Home was a completely different game and in case of Ittle Dew, It just wasn't enough, to be honest I wanted more.

    In the end, Ittle Dew is an adorable block puzzle game, with a decent gameplay and a crafty writing. For this price, you won't be disappointed, just don't expect it to be a Zelda clone because it pretty much makes fun of this game which is entertaining.    … Expand

    Fun adventure puzzle game with dialogue that made me laugh out loud a couple of times. For me the puzzles were balanced in how challenging they were, but a lot of times I had to backtrack far because there was some item I hadn't found yet. I never got to see the ending either, because what had been a puzzle game in the end fight suddenly out of nowhere became a reaction time game.

I never got to see the ending either, because what had been a puzzle game in the end fight suddenly out of nowhere became a reaction time game. Since reaction time never was a skill you practiced in the rest of the game I suddenly had to learn a new skill by dying over and over again. In the end this made me so angry I shut down and never started up again. I had preferred the ending tested my proficiency in what the rest of the game was about rather than blindsiding me by becoming an action game.… Expand

    This Zelda-like adventure, where anything goes, is a love/hate affair. But love is surely the better option. [Issue#234]

    A pleasant little game that is entertaining, indeed, but in fact it brings nothing new to the table. Besides, the game's length is terribly short.

    That player-considerate attitude is offset by less reverential treatment of its inspiration, however. Ittle Dew isn’t really a parody, more a loving pastiche, but its gently sassy mockery of Zelda’s conventions ties with the beautiful, vibrant art to ensure that while this really is mostly block puzzles, they’re some of the best presented ones you’ve ever played.
