Like China Warrior, people aren't playing this game correctly. Your sword gets weaker when enemies block your attacks or hit stones so you have to get as many purple crystals as possible to enhanced its strength. Rapidly pressing the jump button while in midair during the non zoomed levels lets to get to higher platformers. Also the object of the game is to collect a charm, mirror, and sword all in one path in order to kill the last boss and if you do get to the last level without all those in your possession you are screwed. The biggest flaw in this game IMO is you can't backtrack to other levels to find these 3 well hidden items so you have no choice to replay this game many times to find a way to get all 3 items at once. Overall I give this a 7/10.
