It is about the wizard Savant, who has been thrown out of his tower by a malicious orb. From then on, you are given control to the coolest wizard ever. While you can can only move to two specific spots, the main game mechanic is the shooting. The shooting is brilliant. You can either use Savant's power as a machine gun or as a shotgun thanks to the extra powerful boost you get when you start firing. The game is made up of 3 stages, with the final one being a boss fight that has two parts. Not only that, once completed (took me 15 minutes) there is also a "time attack" and "endless mode" that is unlocked. For $1.99, this is definitely worth picking up. The graphics themselves are really nice and suit the game very well, and the music is very fittingly done by the real world dubstep artist Savant. Overall, the game is a fun 2D shooter with a lot of personality and a little price.… Expand

   This is of much higher calibre than most other 2D games found on Steam. A real gem of a game.… Expand

   I really like the game. Challenging, yet not too hard. The music is amazing, expected no less from Savant. Gameplay is a little short, butI really like the game. Challenging, yet not too hard.

Plus, D-Pad Studios is quite responsive to fixing bugs and tweaks. I can't wait to see more!… Expand

   It is only possible to jump between 2 points. You can never move anywhere else. The music is good in the beginning but gets boring pretty quickly. And in the beginning I thought it's a kind of music game, which reacts according to the music. But the music actually seems to play no role at all for the gameplay and therefore you wont even notice it too much.
   It really hard and very unrewarding, because you can basically not move and only shoot with one shoot with almost never changes. You can't upgrade, you can't do anything.
   It's frustrating and dumb. Maybe I don't get it, but I really tried to for some time.… Expand
