Very nice game right here, only issue I had wa constantly getting lost because of the rather non-linear paths around the forest area. I also had to search every long-finished dungeon thrice because I couldn't remember which ones still had collectibles that could only be acquired with later tools. A minimap with listings for these things would've helped a lot in speeding up progress without really spoilering secrets.
The controls were easy, though I would've prefered using WASD for movement, options for remapping buttons are always welcome in such games.
But despite those little nitpicks it's an overall good game, definitely among the better of its time :)
