Really cool game for the C64! So many good things about the game, the atmosphere and the pacing is fun, and the music is great.
As for weak points, the fighting is a bit tedious, as is the searching for missed items as the game map gets bigger. The repetitive music exaggerates the tediousness a bit. And it was really hard, only few lives and instant death traps did not mix well :( I was unable to finish it on a C64 after several tries, and eventually frustrated and reverted to playing it on an emulator with save scumming.
Although, feels odd to write so much about the negative points, since the game was definitely an entertaining experience! Got a little bit of C64 Treasure Island vibe to it with the structuring, and ending atmosphere somehow reminded of Pitfall 2. Looking forward to playing your other titles!
Very nice game, but i don’t like the long jumps and the fact that you have absolutely no clue where to find items on the ground, but overall a lot of fun!
after playing this for a few days now! it's an incredible game which has allot of thought gone into it. the art work is superb and gives most 8-bit games a run for it money! I love this game it's become one of my all time favouriteslike last ninja! thank you for making this game
I've just finished V4.0 and had a great time, thanks for making the game. But, there's a bug in the end sequence, the horizontal sprite expansion register isn't cleared, which can cause some sprite glitches.

One of my favorites! I come back to it from time to time.
Definitely a cool little game.
I do wish it had some of the fixes of the 'follow up' Shadow over Hawksmill such as a life bar.
Great game. It deserves the little price. I enjoyed a lot to play it in c64 emulator. Congrats!!!

Good to hear you enjoy it - Keep an eye out for "Shadow over Hawksmill" - same team, similar kind of game. next year.

V5.0 seems to have fixed that bug, thanks.
