Description

As a alchemist you must solve a set of mazes to prove your worth.

To solve the mazes you must transform the items which are found in the maze into something more useful. For example, a piece of iron turns in a glass key when dropped in a pool of fire. Thus, if you want to pass a glass door, you have to find a pool of fire and a piece of iron. These transformations are not random, but sometimes require multiple stages. If you keep good notes, you'll find out all possible transformations.

The make it all a little bit more interesting, there are monsters inhibiting the maze. That problem is easily solved by transforming something into a decent weapon.

You're in a maze of straight, boring passages, all alike.

The Good
There's an option to turn off the music.



The Bad
This is the worst game I've ever seen.

Everywhere you go, the game looks exactly the same. That is, a completely random maze in that wonderful 3D wireframe look. Most 'art' (monster deaths, object transformations) is just a random blob of pixels.

The only thing you do is wandering around a maze, collecting/transforming items and fighting monsters.

Fighting monsters? Sorry, I meant pressing the A button quickly.

Transforming items? "Let's see, I've got a piece of iron. There's a fire pool here. Let's drop the iron. Hey, now I have a glass key." There's no logic or anything in the 'puzzles', you just have to try all possible combinations and take notes of the results.

Wandering around in a maze? I've got better things to do.

There's no way to save your game, but that's ok, since you don't want to play this game a second time.

The Bottom Line
This is the worst Gameboy game you'll ever see. However, if that's what you like (Mobygames has a 'bottom games' listing for some reason), don't wait -- get it now!

(What, you don't like our Bottom Games listing? Come on, it's fun! ;-) --Editor)
