Argh, I got all excited for this game (see below) assuming there'd at least be a joystick option. Foolish they only had convoluted keyboard controls for it. Thanks to this thorough guide (when I was looking for the Manual) for helping me realize that sooner than later ha.

Preliminary: Ooooo sounds and looks like an Apple II Manic Miner, pretty much. But, uh, with a Conan the Barbarian theme... even coinciding with the release of the film Conan the Destroyer. Praying the controls hold up, because it looks like it'll be another addictive early platformer, with the ability to fight back and a set ending (both of which aI always love), and there are action-adventure elements namely secrets and extra lives to be found. I always love a reason to meander in a game, though I do wish the look was a bit more enthralling to zome out to. If I've heard correctly, there are 7 levels--each just a screen long. Sounds doable enough.
