## Aruna's Adventure Description
Aruna’s Adventure takes you on a nostalgic trip back to the early '90s action adventure games. It has a vibrant 8 bit pixel art style and an emphasis on action combat combined with exploration.
The player takes control of the blue haired heroine Aruna, who along with her guiding fairy is trying to stop the Dark Lord from infesting the lands with monsters.
Aruna explores the multiple landscapes of the world fighting monsters, finding secrets, entering dungeons and fighting bosses.

Main Game Features :
 - Engaging fun combat: Aruna can dash, strike and use special weapon attacks.
 - Over 400 handcrafted screens that stitch together into 3 Large overworld areas and 6 sprawling dungeons.
 - Unique and challenging boss fights.
 - Get coins from enemies and secret chests to buy new gear in the shops throughout the world.
 - A classic retro story with wizards, fairies and a dark lord.

It may be retro style but we have modern conveniences :
 - Autosaving, never lose any progress if you have to shut down quickly (however there is a penalty for death of course).
 - Cloud syncing for save games.
 - Controller support for both gameplay and menus.
 - Game Center achievements.
 - 120fps on supported devices.

## Aruna's Adventure Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Great game but needs control improvement"
Super fun game, just what I was looking for, but the controls are difficult to use. Movement is up down left and right. But dragging your finger or thumb around doesn’t work, you basically have to constantly lift your thumb up and move it. It’s so hard to change direction. And the other controls for your weapon and up to three other items are small and close together. You often can’t switch between them without looking, and my thumb loses the sense of position so I constantly have to reset my hand.  I trigger the wrong item. I trigger no item. Super annoying, especially when winning the game depends on being able to use these items in combination. It takes twice as long to get through a challenge because you can’t successfully use the controls. I hope this developer fixes it, and I hope they make more games! I will buy them.

### ***** "Hours of fun!"
I downloaded this game for a flight so that I wouldn’t get bored. I didn’t realize how long I would be playing! I didn’t find any glitches in my 3 hours that I had played on the flight, and it was pretty smooth gameplay. I would very much recommend if you enjoy adventure games like Zelda!
-- aheujxndhgyufytctyfhgguyv, 2024-07-28

### ***** "A really good Zelda-like game"
I highly recommend this game with a retro feel.  The best part is the exploration.  For me the bosses are just the right amount difficult: some put up a really good fight but none got frustrating.  There are glitches, but the game is very playable, and is well worth my time and money.
-- Tom "slowbro", 2024-02-14

### ***** "10 stars."
Perfect graphics for my taste and though I play jrpg mostly this is a retro rpg like Zelda that I love to play.
-- Bkrenfro, 2021-04-07

### ***-- "Great Zelda clone for IOS with trash controls"
Yes, the controls are as bad as everyone says. 

It’s a D pad. And it’s too big. There are no vibrations to tell where you on the D pad. Starting out - you’ll literally have to look down to see where your thumb is before you get it down. I’m a good ways in and I still take damage because Aruna won’t move out of the way in time. 

Not gonna lie, I was regretting buying this game within about 3 minutes of starting. But that feeling passed fairly quickly. 

But like everyone else has said - if you like the old school Zeldas - you’ll like this. It’s a very condensed, bite-sized, Zelda game.

I’m very conflicted on what to rate this. If I could, I think I’d probably rate it 3.5 stars.
-- MarcMusicProductions, 2021-03-31

### ***-- "Crashes"
Game is really great but the crashes are not fun at all. 4 crashes in a row within the first hour played. It’s great your game is saved right when you heal your self. The gamer is good just not the crashes
-- name was already taken :(, 2021-02-15

### ****- "Gem disappeared"
I love this game but I can’t get past the 3rd tome. I got all of the gems but somewhere along the line the green gem disappeared. I went back to all of the chests on the level but they were all open.
-- 666cciv, 2021-02-14

### *---- "Fun game but crashing on loading now"
This game was fun while I could play it. Now the game crashes as soon as I hit the saved game to load. If this is fixed I would definitely give it 4-5 stars!😢
-- KristophAlan, 2021-01-24

### ***** "Updates roll out without hesitation!"
Thanks for listening to the fans :)!

This game now fully runs on keyboard, controller, and touch and the overall challenge/fun you can have is by and large one of the best! 

Keep up the good work :) Can we see some DLCs? I’d love to contribute more to the developers ^^

Kind regards,

Everyday Guy

### ***** "Great for what it is"
I’ve seen reviews that refer to lack of story and rough controls, but it provided hours of fun for $5(really, what else can you do that’s fun for hours for little more than the price of a coffee).  Playing on a phone, I personally don’t want to read small text and just want to hack and slash my way to victory. Controls can be tricky, but in my opinion it was just enough to add to the difficulty of an otherwise easy game without any annoyance. I definitely recommend this game if you like old school Zelda type games(pared down hack & slash game with armor/weapon upgrades and grid maps but minimal questing) and you want to kill 2-4 hours. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would certainly buy a sequel. No stress, just fun...Nicely done!
