The 2d side scrolling mixed with a flat 2d open world reminded me a lot of zelda 2, and even more-so when I had to go to a town tavern to figure out how to navigate an invisible maze. I liked it's simplicity and the layout was enough for me to try to play it to the end.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to complete it. I got to the desert dungeon for the second time after acquiring the projectile spell, and I had to get the fragment of air and fire. After traveling up I found a fragment of air in a perfectly square room, and after traveling down I found a similar perfectly square room. Im assuming this is where the fragment of fire would be, but there was nothing there. Let me know if I was doing something wrong.
