It's on my short list (okay, maybe it's not so short) of day one purchases. Any idea on price? This looks very promising. It's on my short list (okay, maybe it's not so short) of day one purchases.

NOT SOLD. i like the art and engine, but the premise of the game just leaves me uninterested. seems like a lot of effort was put into the game/mechanics, for little reason other than to stick to a wheel as long as you can.

I love how the game integrates the treasure items. Before the game starts you can rummage through your collected treasures and determine which you'll equip on your little paper doll figure (each has a prescribed space on your character so, for example, you have decide between the telescope or camera, you can't carry both at the same time). Another clever bit is the scoring. It couldn't be simpler as it is simply the distance you've traveled plus whatever gold you have left on you when you die. The primary purpose of the gold, besides adding to your end score, is to repair missing sections of your "Water Wheel" (or Hamster Wheel in my eyes). Do you keep it well repaired or save the cash as long as possible to beat your last score? Very clever and original!
