BEST GAME EVER!! Make a second plez?

I remember when I was 5, I was trying to get this game but I couldn’t, 1 because I needed to know the password and 2 I didn’t have any money. So last year I looked up the game and I couldn’t believe it It was still here after all these years, so I got it and I was so happy and excited,I couldn’t believe I’d get to play the this game, it’s was literally the number 1 thing on my bucket list to do. So after I finished the game I was like Amazed, the graphics where amazing the music and the sound was amazing and to top it all off best storyline I have ever seen. I was like there needs to be a second one explaining the after life or something like that. This is an old game but it still growing and still great! Make something out of it NOTE! this is not a game with flashing lights and or fighting every second, people who hate this game don’t deserve to write a review or to play this amazing game. This is a game that takes time to finish, this is a game where you explore and there are secrets at every corner. THANK YOU?
More like this ?! Waiting years.

I have been waiting for years for another game like this one from you guys. What gives? I played this a few times but it’s no fun when you know it by heart. Please continue...?!
Needs to be a classic!! Gimme another!

I am in love with this game. I’ve played through it 3 times throughout the last 4 years, and it has never grown old. Sure, there is not a lot of free exploration, and waiting for moon cycles can be slightly annoying. However, the fantastic story, cute moments, nostalgic art style, and absolutely incredible soundtrack by Jim Guthrie are what really give this game its depth, and truly make it a game I won’t forget. The intertwinement of rhythm and battle also leads to satisfying fights, despite the slight repetitiveness. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys adventure games, it is worth the price, and will provide a peaceful, fulfilling experience.
Horrible

I don’t understand what people like about this game. It is awful. Don’t waste your money. 1 star is too many.
Nothing like it

This is kind of the ‘Big Lebowski’ of video games: it’s strange, has a completely unique tone, is like nothing else you’ve seen, and it sticks with you long after you see the end. It’s the closest thing to visual poetry in game form I’ve ever seen. I still play it, years later.
Pretty but unnecessarily difficult

I don't know if it’s bad porting or what but difficult to play for me and affects the enjoyment. The first boss is too difficult for me to the point where the game is no longer enjoyable. Can’t imagine how hard this is for kids to play.
Difficult but good

I love s&s but in some parts of the game it gets really hard to get past (like when locating the bright moon trigon). Personally I love the game and the graphics and I have yet to get the dark moon trigon.
I’d rather keep the $2.99 and let the bankers keep it when i die

Horrible control to begin with. Interacting requires double tap, and waking sliiiightly faster needs holding tap except that the screen moves and sometimes zooms in when the character moves making misdirections. Why? Two decades ago nintendo figured out we needed bicycle and running shoes. This game prefers the opposite. On battles we have to rotate for no good reason, yet it only offers a shield and a sword as your options. After tutorial phase, we were brought back to title screen, it says “to rest”, except that it displayed a turntable disc, which i naturally spun, on the bottom a second after it says 17%. So you’d think it one has something to do with another, yes? It progresses no more. Maybe because i stopped? There’s a button that says “start over?” next to it. Sure lemme dj properly this time. Boom, progress reset. Start over means delete your progress in this game apparently Oh and on top of having to zoom in everytime we interact with some things, this game constantly breaks the fourth wall by showing you “tweet this?” on the side. So here’s your shoutout.
All-Time Favorite

I’ve said for years that this is the best game I’ve played. The story is so memorable, the music so perfectly synchronized, and the gameplay so simple that I keep coming back to replay it. I can highly recommend playing on an iPad as the larger screen makes the touch controls much more manageable for some people. If you’re even slightly considering downloading Sword & Sworcery, this is your sign to do it.
