If you enjoy puzzle games and some old school Zelda style dungeon crawling then you may enjoy this game.
I personally did not.
The main reason is due to the controls.
There are no options to change the controls and there is no indication of what the controls are.
by the end of the game my hand was hurting from how awkward the controls are and there doesn't seem to be any controller support. You may be able to setup a controller to act as button presses but the game as nothing native.
I somehow beat the game in under 3 hours which apparently is an achievement?

it just feels like a game that had better art/music people then game dev people. Either way, solid game just not for me.
I still give it a thumbs up since there isn't a neutral choice and there is more good here then bad.

Ittle Dew is a surprisingly clever puzzle-focused adventure that wears its Zelda inspiration proudly while carving out its own identity through genuinely inventive block puzzles and charming, self-aware humor. The three core items — the fire sword, ice wand, and portal wand — interact in ways that keep puzzle-solving fresh, and the ability to beat the game with different weapon combinations gives it real replay value. The writing is a highlight too: Ittle and Tippsie have an effortless comedic chemistry that makes every NPC encounter a small delight. It's short, my first run clocked in around 3-4 hours, and the combat is admittedly clunky, but the puzzle design is sharp enough that those shortcomings rarely matter. If you have any fondness for top-down Zelda games and enjoy puzzles that actually make you think, this is an easy recommendation.

A thoughtful, funny puzzle game. I've only beat the main game with all the items, and 9/10(?) of the Master Dungeon ... I do feel like replaying the game but trying out _not_ getting all the items - that sounds very interesting to me!

Ittle Dew is a charming and self-aware action-adventure game developed and published by Ludosity that lovingly pays tribute to the classic top-down Zelda formula while injecting it with irreverent humor and a distinct indie personality. The story begins when Ittle, a brave yet sarcastic adventurer, and her mischievous flying companion Tippsie crash-land on a mysterious island. Stranded and with no clear way home, the duo set off to find treasure, solve puzzles, and uncover the secrets of the island’s dungeons. The setup is simple and deliberately familiar, but it’s handled with a playfulness that quickly distinguishes Ittle Dew from the many other games that have borrowed inspiration from Nintendo’s iconic adventures. It’s not about grand destinies or saving kingdoms; it’s about clever puzzles, witty banter, and a hero who seems more interested in finding loot than fulfilling prophecy.

From the moment you start playing, it’s clear that Ludosity’s approach to design emphasizes both nostalgia and modern sensibility. The visuals are crisp, colorful, and hand-drawn, creating an aesthetic that feels both whimsical and contemporary. The environments are rich with small details, from the lush grass and bright waterways to the quirky enemies that populate the island’s ruins. Each screen looks like it could belong in a children’s storybook, filled with bold outlines and soft, saturated hues. This art direction gives Ittle Dew a timeless charm, echoing the 16-bit era while still feeling fresh. The soundtrack complements this aesthetic perfectly, with upbeat tunes that shift smoothly between playfulness and calm introspection, depending on the area you’re exploring. It’s a world that feels light-hearted and inviting, encouraging players to wander, experiment, and smile at the absurdity of its characters.

Gameplay in Ittle Dew is where the game truly shines, focusing heavily on puzzle-solving rather than combat or exploration alone. Each room presents a carefully crafted challenge that requires logic, timing, and experimentation. You’ll find yourself pushing blocks, triggering switches, melting ice barriers, and using newly acquired items in inventive ways to progress. What makes these puzzles stand out is their layered complexity—many can be solved in more than one way, rewarding creativity as much as precision. The items you collect throughout the adventure—a fire sword, an ice wand, and a teleportation crystal—are versatile tools that not only serve as weapons but also expand your problem-solving possibilities. The game’s design often encourages you to think beyond obvious solutions, combining item effects or positioning to uncover hidden paths or secrets. This focus on flexible puzzle design is one of Ludosity’s greatest achievements, as it keeps the player engaged and curious without ever feeling overwhelmed.

Combat, while present, takes a back seat to the puzzle mechanics. Encounters with enemies are brief and often secondary to the brain-teasing challenges that define the game’s structure. This balance may disappoint players seeking intense action, but it reinforces Ittle Dew’s identity as a puzzle-adventure hybrid rather than a pure action game. The fights are simple, with Ittle’s attacks being straightforward and responsive, but they rarely escalate beyond basic skirmishes. Instead, the game channels its energy into room-based conundrums and dungeon progression, maintaining a consistent rhythm of exploration and discovery. What keeps the gameplay loop satisfying is how tightly the puzzles, movement, and humor are interwoven—every solved room feels like a small triumph, and every line of dialogue adds levity to the experience.

Tonally, Ittle Dew is one of the most self-aware and comedic adventure games of its type. The writing is sharp, filled with fourth-wall jokes, absurd observations, and tongue-in-cheek commentary on video game tropes. Ittle herself is a refreshing protagonist—less the traditional noble hero and more a sarcastic, treasure-hungry rogue who questions everything around her. Tippsie, her floating fox-like companion, acts as both a guide and a source of snarky humor, offering hints while poking fun at the game’s logic and the player’s decisions. The supporting cast, from the eccentric shopkeeper to the strange guardians of the island’s dungeons, all contribute to the game’s offbeat humor. This tone gives Ittle Dew a personality that sets it apart from its inspirations, transforming what could have been a straightforward homage into a parody with genuine heart.

Despite its strengths, Ittle Dew is not without its limitations. The adventure is short, and many players will find themselves reaching the end in under five hours. The compact length suits its focused design, but it also means the world never expands into something truly grand or complex. Once you’ve solved the main dungeons and collected all items, there’s little incentive to return beyond optional puzzles and speedrun attempts. The combat, while serviceable, can feel clunky compared to the fluidity of the puzzle design, and some may wish for more variety in enemy encounters. Yet these shortcomings don’t diminish the overall experience; instead, they emphasize that Ittle Dew is meant to be a concise, polished, and joyful experience rather than a sprawling epic.

In the end, Ittle Dew succeeds because it knows exactly what it wants to be—a clever, funny, and endearing take on the classic adventure formula. Its puzzles are satisfying without being punishing, its humor is sharp without feeling forced, and its art and music create a world that is a pleasure to explore. It’s a game that celebrates both the spirit of discovery and the absurdity of its own conventions, embracing nostalgia while confidently standing on its own. For players who grew up loving the dungeons and puzzles of 16-bit adventure games, Ittle Dew is both a tribute and a breath of fresh air. It’s a small but wonderfully crafted gem that reminds you why solving puzzles, finding secrets, and laughing at the journey can be just as rewarding as saving the world.

[h2]퍼즐 해결에 필요한 어빌리티들을 모아 성을 공략하는 [b]젤다라이크 소코반 어드벤처[/b][/h2]

[list]
[*][h3]평가: A (호)[/h3]
[*]출시/플레이: 13년 / 25년 6월
[*]조작/언어: 키보드/유저한패
[*]도전과제: 8/15 ([spoiler]카드 26/26[/spoiler])
[/list]

전투가 있긴 하지만 액션 요소는 매우 약하고 주로 소코반 퍼즐로 이루어진 게임이었음.
오브젝트 종류도 많지 않고 어빌리티도 몇 개 없는데, 퍼즐 디자인이 좋아서 깨는 맛이 있었다. 본편이 내 수준에서 딱 맞게 도전적이고 진짜 재밌었다.

아트도 처음엔 너무 양키센스라서 거부감 들었는데 게임의 유머가 좋아서 금방 스며듦ㅋㅋ

다만 아쉬웠던 건 1회차에 모든 퍼즐을 즐길 수 있게 설계되어 있지는 않았다는 점.
중앙의 성이든, 어빌리티를 먹는 던전이든 목적지까지 가는 데 갈림길이 여러 개이고 심지어는 역주행도 가능했다.

하나의 퍼즐에 막혀서 진행이 불가능해지는 걸 방지하기 위한 난이도 밸런싱 상의 배려였던 거 같은데,
그 과정을 내가 통제할 수 있는 게 아니라 눈 감았다 떠보니 쉬운 길로 통과해버리는 느낌이라 약간은 아쉬웠다.
던전은 보스 잡으면 다시 들어가지도 못함.

게임이 디자인한 퍼즐을 모두 즐기려면 다회차가 필수인 듯. 도전과제도 그렇게 설계되어 있기도 하고.

그리고 이건 추가요소의 느낌이라 게임 평가에 반영하기는 좀 그런데, 추가 컨텐츠인 달인의 동굴 난이도가 너무너무 어려웠음ㅜㅜ
엔딩까지는 공략 없이 깼는데, 달인의 동굴은 도저히 안 되겠더라...

본편에 없는 새로운 기믹들을 이용한 퍼즐들이 많아서 소코반 뉴비인 나로서는 혼자 힘으로 해낼 수가 없었음. 공략 한 4번 본 듯?
그래도 기믹 알고 나서 푸는 후반부 퍼즐들은 끈기 있게 고민하면 풀만한 퍼즐들이라 도파민은 충분히 느낀 듯ㅇㅇ

그 외에, 수집요소 모으다 보면 메인화면에 갤러리 열리는데 분량도 크고 귀여운 그림, 흥미로운 비하인드도 많으니
게임 재밌게 했으면 한 번 들어가 보길 추천.

아무튼 [b]귀엽고 깔끔한 맛의 소코반 어드벤처[/b]였다.

Yo, I had to look it up, I got this through the Humble Bundle: PC and Android 10 which was over 10 years ago! Ittle Dew, a "Zelda clone". It looks at as it plays, and it was a lot of fun. It's short and cheesy but I loved it. I tried it a few times over the years and remember getting frustrated and quitting. This time around it seemed pretty straight forward with the only real hiccups I had was me not knowing the full extent of some in-game mechanics. My completed save file playtime came in at 2:56:53. I will note, if you're looking at the achievements, they are going to require several playthroughs to get them all.

If it's on sale, or in a bundle, and you want some an indie-Zelda game, it's worth checking out :)

他の人が書いている通りですが操作性が悪いです。
斜め攻撃できなかったり攻撃後の硬直が長かったりと、大昔のアクションゲームをやらされてる感じ。
そしてキーボードだと矢印キーで移動、WASZキーが攻撃などのアクションとなっており非常にやりづらい（キーコンフィグもありません）。
ゲームとしてはパズル好きな自分としては面白くなりそうな予感はあったものの、ストレスが勝ってアンストしました。

I played this game a long time ago, but remembered about it just now, and I am amazed that there are still so few reviews on it. So I decided to provide what I can. Ittle Dew is wondrous love letter to old Zelda games. Even though it's mostly a puzzle game, I would recommend all Zelda fans to play it. It has great puzzles to tackle, stunning hand drawn visuals, beautiful music and is a joy to play overall.

Ich wollte Zelda, bekam aber einen Spiegel. Er war bunt. Und quadratisch. Ich schob ihn nach links, da war ein Geheimnis. Ich schob ihn nach rechts, es blieb. Die Moral ist: Wände sind optional, solange du ihnen glaubst.
Ittle Dew ist nicht schwer. Es ist leicht. Leicht wie die kindliche Enttäuschung, dass der letzte Raum kein Boss ist, sondern eine Pointe. Das Spiel sagt dir: Du hast alles gesehen, aber du hast nichts verstanden. Ich mochte das.
Meine 2 von 15 Errungenschaften sind ein Manifest. Ich habe gewonnen, ohne zu begreifen. Ich habe gerätselt, ohne zu lösen. Ich habe gelacht, aber niemand hat geantwortet.
Es gibt dort eine Kreatur namens Tippsie. Sie trinkt. Ich trinke nicht, aber ich verstehe sie. Sie flüstert dir Hinweise, als wäre sie deine depressive Erinnerung an ein besseres Tutorial.
Wenn Wittgenstein Rätselspiele gemacht hätte, hätte er Ittle Dew nicht programmiert. Aber er hätte es angespielt. Und dann gesagt: „Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man blockschieben.“
Das Kampfsystem? Ein Placebo. Du schlägst zu, weil man dir beigebracht hat, dass Schläge Dinge lösen. Aber hier lösen nur Lösungen etwas. Gewalt ist Dekoration. Wie Zahnstocher in der Suppe.
Warum positiv?
Ich habe keine Ahnung, was hier passiert ist.

To be fair this is the first game in the series so you would have to assume it would have its fair share of issues. Overall the game is pretty good, but that is not without its flaws. I still would have to recommend the game though to anyone that is a fan of the Zelda series or just puzzle adventure games in general. Although the sequel is better in almost every way it is still worth having the original in your collection as well especially to see where and how the series started.

Можно сказать, что моя мечта сбылась. Как только я увидел эту игру, я сразу понял: я обязан это купить
Мои любимые жанры в играх это приключения и головоломки. А здесь есть и то, и другое, и обе из них отличные! Есть большой остров с секретами, которые интересно узнать. Есть головоломки, причём довольно сложные иногда, особенно в большой пещере. Я даже вторую головоломку большой пещеры не прошёл, а я при этом много разных головоломок проходил. Но в один день я обязательно добью её.

Here is my review for Ittle Dew:

This is a top down adventure game which follows in the same vein as a classic Legend of Zelda game. You walk around in square rooms filled with monsters and puzzles. You either kill enemies or push blocks onto switches to unlock the doors. This allows you to progress into next room and continue the process. There are three items you can collect: a fire sword, ice wand, and teleportation rod. This can let you solve puzzles in different manners and allow you to reach the final boss. The rooms are structured to allow multiple solutions depending on which items you have available. It is not required to collect all three items to beat the game.

The story here revolves around Ittle Dew, a girl with her fairy fox companion. You wash ashore on an island containing a giant castle. The shopkeep will repair your raft if you bring him an artifact from the final boss. You agree (as you have no other option) and venture into the castle. You kill girls in animal costumes and smash everything in your way. You encounter the big bad... and it's the shopkeep. He got bored being on the island so he built a puzzle castle for folks who wash ashore. You trounce him, he's sad, and you agree to let him go on your adventures together. You then sail away into the wide blue beyond.

Overall, it's a decent little game if you enjoy the classic Zelda formula. I think this would probably be best nowadays as a telephone game you can play on a commute. Otherwise, there's no real reason to play this over better adventure games.

I played this game a long, long while ago already, and now I decided to replay it, to see if it will live up to my memories of it. It did, so here's a review.

Let's get over the potential cons first, because some of these can be dealbreakers for a lot of people.
- This is a puzzle game, first and foremost. Don't expect a lot of action or fighting and whatnot, there are very few exceptions. And it is a block-pushing puzzle game specifically, so if you find those tedious and boring you probably shouldn't buy it. Don't come into this expecting something similar to the original The Legend of Zelda games. It was inspired by them, sure, but it's clearly different in a lot of ways. It's closer to Sokoban than Zelda, really.
- It's short, with its sequel being longer while costing the same. 2-5 hours to fully complete a savefile, 15~ hours to get all achievements.
- Tank controls on anything other than keyboard. Both setting up a gamepad's controls and using it is tedious, from what I heard.
- There are some bugs. Not exactly game breaking ones, but there are some. For example, this game hates being opened in windowed mode on my PC, with everything but UI becoming black screens.

Now the pros!
+ The artstyle is charming. The characters are just adorable and are very memorable, and the game looks so lively and full of personality.
+ The humour is pretty funny. The deadpan jokes and overall mood will probably crack you up at least once. A little edgy at times, too, thanks to Tippsie being an [strike]alcoholic[/strike] avid potion enthusiast and enemies from the Swamp... existing. Oh, and almost every character has a pun in their name.
+ Very clever puzzles and versatile tools which compensate for the few items the game has. Some rooms really make you think outside the box.
+ The music doesn't distract from the thinking, and is pretty catchy. The Castle and That Cold Place themes are ones that I especially liked, they play in my head from time to time.
+ Somewhat nonlinear. You only need two of the three items to finish the game, though getting all of the collectibles and hearts, and clearing optional content (Compost Crypt and The Master Cave) still requires all three of the tools.
+ Secrets! Ranging from simple optional shortcuts to... something else! That's up to you to find, though, isn't it? :P

I may be a little biased, since I played this game a long time ago already, but I'd say the pros outweigh the cons by a lot. A good 7/10 in my book.

I will start out by saying, this is a puzzle game. There is combat, but it more a break from the puzzles than anything else. With that being said, this is a very well designed and quite challenging puzzle game. It is short, but the game being beatable with any two of the three abilities provides an impressive amount of replayability

This game ended up being mostly puzzles, some of which were actually very difficult to solve on my own. I was honestly hoping the combat would have been more fleshed out. This will not scratch the itch you might have if you played the older Legend of Zelda games.

In this game, you fight like a girl, a slightly overweight girl. Your flying foxy friend doesn't help much, as expected. Be warned that the bosses are hard to beat. Visuals are very realist, if you are a cartoon. The music is nice, and sound effects are good. The plot and art are full of humor. One can see developers put a lot of love in this game, the kind of love that expects money in return. The game is great, but the full price is quite expensive, wait for a sale.

Zelda-like，一个经典而又精致的品类。虽不如近些年的Metroidvania那样精品涌现，Zelda-like仍无疑是深受独立创作者喜爱的游戏类型，而《Ittle Dew》正是这样一款早年的类塞佳作。
记得我以前玩这款游戏的时候，它还被叫做《食人女孩》，原因是主角回血的方式是生吃敌人掉落的心（x），从这一点也不难窥见游戏轻松幽默的风格。同时，伴随着风趣的台词设计，游戏整体的流程节奏十分舒畅，这点让我非常满意。
游戏开头幻视织梦岛（），主角漂流到了一座岛上。接下来便是2D塞经典的探图＋下地牢＋能力获取环节了。这里先插一句，玩过这么多类银和类塞后，越来越感到这两大类型的设计理念是相通的，都完美贯彻了任式探索理念和宫本茂的箱庭理论，不得不感慨，任天堂的探索类游戏做得是相当完美，简直把我的口味拿捏死了。
回到游戏本身，Ittle Dew可以说是类塞里解谜做得最好的那一批，不是说它的谜题有多么难、多么考究，而是说整体的关卡谜题设计和道具配合得太好了。看看游戏成就就明白了，不同的道具组合都能通关，甚至你可以拿一根树杈一通到底（我记得2代也是可以仅靠木棍通关的），这样的设计看上去没什么新奇之处，但实际上这对于作者的关卡设计能力有着相当高的要求，游戏的自由度和关卡的设计精细度常常是冲突的，但作者很好地平衡了这两个元素，并把这个优点延续到了2代。并且，就谜题本身设计而言，以Master Cave为首的不少关卡都足见其深度，加之谜题与道具产生的精妙化学反应，可以看出作者是很有想法并为之下了好一番功夫的。
最后，当然是非常推荐大家游玩这款游戏，同时也希望未来能够出现更多更棒的类塞尔达佳作~

[b]Ittle Dew[/b] (a joke misspelling of the phrase "It will do") is yet another game that didn't turn out the way I thought it would.

From its presentation it looks like a cheap Zelda knockoff, possibly with some outdated 4th wall breaking internet humor, but it's not.

To figure out if you'll enjoy this game you can ask yourself this simple question:

[h3]What do I think about block sliding puzzles?[/h3]
[list]
[*]a) Love 'em
[*]b) Okay I guess
[*]c) They should be classified as medieval torture devices[/list]

If your answer is b or c, I don't think you'll like this game very much. It's like 95% sokoban.
Otherwise, get it. If you're still not convinced, read on.

[h2]Structure[/h2]
There's one main dungeon: the castle. It's a large interconnected area with lots of puzzles. While maneuvering your way through the castle you'll find chests full of gold coins (in increments of a hundred). Using these you can buy items from the shopkeeper outside. After buying an item and doing a small dungeon to get it, you may use it in the castle.

There are 3 items in the game: the Flame Sword, the Portal Wand and the Ice Wand. Using these you can delve further into the castle and eventually reach the final boss and find the Artifact, the main goal of the game.

The most interesting thing about this is that while the game expects a casual player to get all three items, the game is fully beatable with any two items. How you navigate the castle and approach the puzzles change drastically if you limit yourself to only two of them, and the game is short enough that this is easily worth the two replays to solve the other paths.

I liked almost all my time spent with this game. The exception follows below.

[h2]The Master Cave[/h2]
The Master Cave is an optional location that you can only tackle with all three items. It's a gauntlet consisting of 12 back-to-back puzzles, which are some of the hardest the game has to offer.

The reason I didn't like it is that I feel like my trust was betrayed somewhat. That sounds dramatic, so let me explain.

When you play a puzzle game, it's like you develop a relationship with the puzzle designer. Through the puzzles you solve, your image of what kind of puzzles this person designs becomes clearer, and you get a sense of what you can expect from them.

Puzzles have two parts to them: Figuring them out, and executing the solution. The ideal puzzle in my opinion is where figuring them out is hard, but the execution is trivial. This can of course vary within reason.

The simple fact is that the Master Cave features a rather sharp turn in design philosophy to one I'm not a fan of, namely placing too much emphasis on execution. Nothing in this game requires the speed and dexterity that the Master Cave does. While I did solve it, and it could be argued that it's the Master Cave after all (the dev has gone on record saying "it's the master cave, sorry not sorry" (paraphrased)), I did not find it enjoyable at all, because once that trust had been broken, I kept asking myself "is it one of those puzzles, or is it a good one" throughout the rest of the Master Cave.

It's in my humble onion a blemish on an otherwise solid puzzle game. Rest assured that the rest of the game is really good.

[h2]Afterword[/h2]
This game has been sitting in my backlog for years, and it was really on a whim I decided to play it.

Even if you decide to not get this game, at least take this review as an example of why you should check out the games in your backlog.

I know you have one. You have good games in it, and you should play them.

It's a Zelda game that's basically all Sokoban puzzles and does a lot to respect your time. The last boss fight kinda sucks but the rest of the game is good enough to where I think its few faults don't really matter at all. Give it a try. You'll have it done quickly but it's quality.

Quelle bonne surprise ! Ce jeu est similaire à Zelda, c'est assez flagrant et c'est même fait exprès. Il était pas trop dur même si à certains endroits, j'étais bloqués. Les objets sont assez intéressants, certaines mécaniques étaient nouvelles pour moi. J'ai beaucoup aimé l'humeur du jeu aussi et puis il était court donc j'ai pas eu l'temps d'me lasser ! J'ai vu qu'il y avait une suite et je pense savoir quoi faire à présent. :p

《Ittle Dew》是一款偏解谜的小型类2D塞尔达游戏。

由于我没玩过《塞尔达传说》系列，所以我只能根据我调查的结果来理解“类2D塞尔达”是指什么：2D俯视角，玩法上综合了解谜、战斗，并且[b]以使用各种能力/道具为主要机制[/b]的冒险游戏。本作符合这一描述，而在玩法上感觉解谜的比重明显更大，大多数是类似“推箱子”的网格式解谜。

这种侧重让本作在玩家群体中的评价有褒有贬，因为据我所知，《塞尔达传说》中最值得一提的是精巧的、机关一样的地牢设计，而这一点在本作中却被弱化，玩法也更多换成了被一些玩家认为是“《塞尔达传说》中最无聊的部分”的推箱谜题。所以这一点我必须要在最一开始说清楚，以免形成期望上的落差。

在我看来，本作的主要亮点在于[b]机制设计[/b]和[b]结构设计[/b]，所以接下来就重点讨论这两个方面：

[h1]机制设计[/h1]

本作主要设计了三种能力道具：火焰剑、传送法杖、冰法杖。看上去好像就是挺常规的魔法道具，用法也似乎一目了然，都写在名字里了。但本作针对这些道具所开发出的用法之多，简直令人咋舌，还在这些道具和其它机制之间设计出了非常多奇妙的联动。

[b]火焰剑[/b]算是三个道具中最简单直接的，它的基础用法就是在战斗中作为玩家的主武器，而在解谜中，由于其斩击自带火焰附魔的特性，让其可以点燃物品，以及[spoiler]破坏冰块[/spoiler]。不过相比后面两个道具，这个道具和其它机制确实没有太多组合。

[b]传送法杖[/b]在我看来是三个道具中最有创意的，最明显偏向“解谜”的，也是和其它机制的组合用法最多的。它的基础用法就是挺复杂的：可以在角色当前位置留下一个“传送块”，再发射“传送弹”，被传送弹打到的东西会被传送到传送块的位置。传送块本身作为一个方块，也和普通的箱子一样可以推动、按压按钮，与“推箱子”的底层机制契合；而将触发方式设计成“子弹”也开拓了“远程触发”的空间。而更重要的是，物品、敌人、[spoiler]主角自身[/spoiler]、[spoiler]敌人或自己发射出来的投射物[/spoiler]等，都可以成为被传送的对象，这就自然而然地产生了巨量的交互可能性。而在战斗方面，通过传送的方式来杀敌是可能的，比如可以[spoiler]将敌人传送到刺上[/spoiler]，除此之外，还有一个我看了成就之后才联想到的奇特用法：[spoiler]利用传送块的生成来弹飞（秒杀）敌人[/spoiler]。

[b]冰法杖[/b]的基础用法在形式上和传送法杖类似，通过发射“冰冻弹”来和物品交互，而效果当然就是冻结。这个道具的最明显的用法也是在战斗中，可以用来冰冻敌人，当敌人无法移动或攻击。而在解谜中，它的用法虽然不是最丰富的，但却可以说是最出乎我意料的。乍一看，“冰冻物品”看起来好像没有什么意义，但“冰”除了“固定”这个性质之外，还有一个大家很容易通过直觉联想到的性质，那就是“光滑”，那么“冰冻物品”就意味着[spoiler]让物品变“光滑”[/spoiler]，也就是[spoiler]让物品变得可以滑动[/spoiler]。冰魔法还可以对墙面施放，从“光滑的墙面”可以联想到什么呢？对了，就是[spoiler]镜面[/spoiler]，而这个东西又能很自然地和子弹这样的投射物联系起来。

说实话，我也是写完了这一段才真切地感受到，本作在一个初次通关差不多3到5小时就可以的小品级游戏中，居然塞了这么多独特的交互。其中有些交互玩家在游戏过程中会自然发现，游戏也会引导玩家去发现，而有些则更像是游戏设计的“隐藏”，只有在游戏中最困难的解谜挑战当中才需要用到。本作并不是一个传统的线性结构，因此在“通关”之后还不知道其中一些交互存在是非常有可能的。本作具体结构是什么样，我会在后面的“结构设计”当中详细说明。

小结一下，从这一节的讨论我们可以看出，三种能力道具都是“多面手”，在解谜和战斗中都可以起到作用。那本作为什么要设计成这样呢？我觉得想要尽力探索机制中存在的可能性当然是最主要的原因，但接下来要讨论的“结构设计”还会给出一个不得不这么设计的理由。

[h1]结构设计[/h1]

在进入对本作结构设计的讨论之前，先说说为什么我不用简单的“线性”或“非线性”来直接对本作的结构进行定性。

在“开放世界”这样的理念大行其道的现在，“非线性”是一个经常被提到的词汇。“线性”简单来说就是“像一条线一样”，形容那些流程上按部就班从头走到尾的游戏，那么“非线性”自然就是它的反面，也就是“开放”，给玩家自由选择权的象征。然而，就别说现在的游戏，就连第一代《超级马里奥》都早就已经不是纯线性的了，也有隐藏区域和跳关彩蛋这样的东西。“线性”和“非线性”早就不再是非此即彼的关系，而更像是一种“程度”的度量。当然我也知道，一个游戏有多“线性”这一点是不太可能量化的，背后也有许多决定因素，但只要认识到对一个游戏有多“线性”的评估是复杂的，我这一段的目的就达到了。

而对于游戏设计的不同方面，“线性”的概念也是不一样的。上一段所描述的那种“线性”被我称为[b]“流程线性”[/b]，形容一个游戏中，玩家只能按照设计师既定的一条路线从头走到尾，而不能选择完成任务的方式和顺序。除此之外，还有一个大家在谈到“非线性”时实际上指代的一种“线性”——[b]“关卡线性”[/b]，也就是关卡本身的连接方式是否是明显的一条线从头走到尾。关卡非线性而流程偏线性的游戏是存在的，虽然我现在一下子举不出来一个例子，但应该不难想象一个经过严密设计，从而即使地图四通八达，看上去有很多选择，但玩家在任意一个时刻还是只能往一个地方去，如此才能最终推进游戏进程的游戏。

所以说了这么多，我想表达的就是，单纯用“线性”或“非线性”来描述一个游戏的结构明显过于简单化了，因此才有用这么一节来分析本作结构的必要。

首先描述一下本作的大致结构：

在游戏开始，玩家会通过一个相当简短的“教程洞穴”，然后来到路中间的一个“商店”，在这里，店老板会直接展示上一节所描述的三个道具，并且让你拿钱来买。

位于整个地图北部的[b]大城堡[/b]是整个游戏最主要的目标，也是整个游戏中最大的“地牢”。玩家需要在城堡中探索，从宝箱中获得购买道具需要的钱，而获得的道具又会助力玩家到达城堡中的更多位置，直到见到并打败最终BOSS。

而每个道具也不是买了就能拿到，因为坑人的店老板并不是真的有这些展品，而是会把主角弹射到和对应的道具有关的小地牢中（称为[b]道具地牢[/b]）自己拿。在进入这些地牢之前，玩家之前所拿到的道具都会被暂时禁用，玩家必须在这些小地牢中进行解谜、战斗，学习一种特定道具的用法，最后击败一个BOSS出来。这也是塞尔达地牢的传统设计模式。

从道具地牢中出来，还能到达几块[b]野外区域[/b]，这里有一些隐藏的地洞，包含着一些一个房间大小的[b]挑战房间[/b]。除此之外，还有两个比较大的[b]额外地牢[/b]也在野外区域当中，其中还有一个是全游戏最困难的纯解谜地牢，玩家需要获得全部三个道具之后才能挑战。

看上去本作的结构还是挺经典的，很明显，本作是一个关卡、流程都非线性的作品，但本作对“非线性”的体现要比我想象中的更加深刻。最初让我意识到这一点的是本作某处给玩家的一个提示：“[b]你可以以任意顺序取得三个道具（并且最终还能通关/打败最终BOSS）[/b]”。虽然这三个道具确实一开始就都摆在商店里，但由于三个道具的价格不一，所以我一开始还是认为本作可能会控制玩家以一个特定的顺序来得到这三样道具，但本作却选择完全放开，还是让我比较惊讶的。

而更让我惊讶的则是本作另一处的提示以及本作的几个成就都表明的一个事实：[b]玩家甚至不需要拿到全部三个道具也能通关（打败最终BOSS），允许漏掉其中任意一个[/b]。很显然，如果本作的关卡设计能够做到这一点，那么前面所说的获取道具顺序上的开放性就是自然的结论。但坦白说，此时我还是没有完全被打动，因为大多数地方不需要特殊能力也能通过，只有部分地方实现了简单的“能力锁”的关卡，也能够满足这样的“开放性”，但这样的关卡却不能说有挑战性和趣味性。然而我在游玩本作的过程中，能够感受到运用能力道具解谜确实占了本作很大的一部分，因此本作看来并没有投机取巧。

这到底是怎么做到的呢？可想而知，要把关卡设计成这样，设计师必须要非常明确每个房间各向的“连通性”，以及其中的谜题对玩家所拥有的道具组合的要求，并且将这些房间以特殊的方式连接起来，既满足一定的“进展性”（先易后难），又要足够处处连通，从而为带有任意一种双道具组合的玩家都留有到达所有关键点（有钱的宝箱）和最终BOSS房间的通路。

本作开发者想要通过这样的设计来引入一定的“可重玩性”，而这就不只是设计一个个单个的谜题的问题了，设计师既要考虑谜题的排布方式，还不能把“能力锁”和路线设计得那么明显，不然如果玩家真一眼看穿了本作的结构，那玩家愿意为了自己能看到头的游戏体验重玩一遍的可能性仍然不会高。相反，本作目前的结构让我没有办法很好地看出，如果我想要挑战某个双道具组合通关，我应该选择什么样的路线，那么找到这条路线就是重玩的价值。

而既然本作采取这样的结构设计是为了可重玩性，那么对于流程中一些不太具有开放性的重复内容，本作也采取了针对性的设计。还记得之前提到过的“道具地牢”吗？因为在这些地牢之中，玩家只能使用特定的一种道具，因此这部分的流程就是很线性的，不管来几遍都一样。针对这一点，本作设计了“捷径”（游戏内称为“Professional Shortcut”，意思就是给“职业”玩家留的捷径），玩家可以通过解开几个很难的谜题来跳过地牢中直到BOSS之前的所有内容。这种捷径从一周目开始就存在，但新玩家如果还没有挑战这种挑战性内容的信心，抑或是相关的知识，就会选择“绕远路”，也就是正常通过地牢。本作这样一个“跳关”的选项，既通过严格的谜题考察了玩家对特定机制的认识，让新玩家不至于还没学到该学的东西就一不小心通过，又节省了有较强洞察力的新玩家以及多周目玩家的过关时间。

本作中最大的地牢，也就是大城堡，其实也蕴含了这样的思路。大部分新玩家会倾向于走最明显的大路，大路中的谜题相对简单，偏向考察机制的简单运用，但同时，总体来看，通过这些道路到达终点也要求玩家把道具收集得更全。而想要少拿一个道具通关，某些最简单的通路就不再连通，这就迫使玩家利用好城堡当中的“捷径”，而这些捷径都是对机制之间的组合进行了更深入探索的困难谜题。而就算是对于没有想要挑战少拿道具通关的玩家，他们同样也可以通过这些捷径来单纯节省时间。

最后，呼应上一节最后所说的内容：本作要为核心的三个道具设计这么多的用法，一定程度上也是为了少拿道具通关的挑战考虑。比如，如果不拿火焰剑，主角就只有一根小木棍作为武器，但其它两种道具同样有战斗的作用，这就弥补了火焰剑缺失带来的影响。

[h1]总结[/h1]

总的来说，本作采取了一种大胆的结构设计，让玩家可以以任意顺序获取三种核心道具，甚至漏掉其中任意一个都可以通关，而且还鼓励玩家通过以不同道具组合通关来完成“多周目”。不过我所给出的赞叹更多是技术上的赞扬，我个人目前还并没有为了挑战这些而选择重开多周目，通过成就完成率，也可以看到真正选择挑战的玩家并不算多（单个结局均少于5%），即使本作速通起来可以15分钟内通关（某一成就的要求）。可能等之后我把本作忘得差不多了，我会选择挑战这些成就。

就算不看本作结构方面的设计，本作的机制设计也非常有趣，衍生出的谜题设计也很出色，尤其是整个游戏最难的额外解谜地牢，对三个核心道具之间，以及它们与各种机制之间的交互探索得尤其深入。

不过稍有美中不足的就是，本作的战斗手感属实一般，其中一个问题是近战攻击不会给怪带来明显击退，而攻击时主角又会站桩不动，因此很容易被迎面而来的怪蹭到。除此之外，本作的谜题中含有一定的时机相关性，也就是需要一定的手速以及精准把握时机的能力，而且并无撤回（Undo）功能，只有重置当前房间的选项，这点可能也会稍微影响游戏体验。相比本作的内容量，其76元人民币的定价还是有点陡峭，不过由于是老游戏，因此史低很低，建议到时入手。

最终，我愿意为本作给出如下的结论：

[b]强烈推荐[/b]。

[h1]彩蛋[/h1]

如果对本作这样鼓励“多周目”的特殊结构有兴趣，可以尝试Ethan Clark（《N Step Steve》系列设计师）目前的最新解谜作品《[url=https://epicpikaguy.itch.io/bee-magic]Bee Magic[/url]》，相比本作还要更加大胆，主体不像本作一样分为一个个房间，而是就是一个大关卡，而能力数量也比本作的三个要多，自然也带来了更多组合的可能性，据说也做出了相当的深度。我自己只通过了“一周目”，感兴趣的玩家可以看看。

I can clealy remember two games where I was stuck on puzzle I couldn't figure only to find the solution later, thinking about it while I wasn't playing the game. The first is Alundra and the second is Ittle Dew.

There's fewer terms that have a stranger legacy than Zelda-like, most of the time it seems to mean top down view and nothing much more. What defined most Zelda games though was a how specific it was about closed-off and self sufficient dungeons. But at the start of the last decade linear games started to fall out of grace, both open world and intricate interconnected imposed themselves as the new norm, to the point where even when this game mostly adhere to the later type of design you'll still find some people complaining about having to push blocks on switches to open doors. Because everyone like Zelda, just not THAT Zelda. And Ittle Dew is the game that is THAT Zelda.

While a good portion of games turns away from dungeon design, even when nostalgia about completly outdated game genre is still common and well recieved, Ittle Dew doubles down on it discarding everything else. Exit verdoyant overworld and illustrous quests, hello beating up random people and stealing their lunch money. Most of the game is compromised of one single castle with the extra gimmick that it can be explored in a numerous of way. Better understanding of the game weird rules allow to open alternative way to new corners of the castle and sometime even new ingenious ways to open doors to rooms you have already visited, if it isn't what adventure is about then what is it ?

The comitement this game have to "solve this sokoban puzzle to open the door" is probably unmatched, even more than ten years later. And there's something I love about it is how it's open ended design just allow to kinda wander in the castle doing whatever you manage to solve allowing you to probably finish it at some point. This game puzzle are for sure on the harder side but the hardest ones are also completly optional and often signaled as being optional. I currently have all the achievement for this game and there's a room in I just never really solved because by the time I got familiar with the trick to access it, I had already found a (pretty disguting) way arround it. It's common for games now to boast about "you can do everything in any order", but few ones actually nailed it as well as this one.

I sincerly think Ittle Dew have little serious competious in the very specific interests it appeal too and yet it goes in lengh to do it right.
And I'm not saying that just because one of the achivement told me I was smart while no teacher ever did.

先叠甲，本人只有一台电脑且没有玩过塞尔达系列的任何一部作品，实属遗憾，在各个论坛也能看到把小小露珠定义为类横版塞尔达的说法，可对于我来说，站在一名普通解密爱好者的角度，小小露珠是一款诙谐有梗，谜题巧妙，难度适宜且时长偏短（不看攻略4.8小时通关还有部分谜题没解）的推箱子游戏，主要流程就是你流落孤岛，你探索城堡，你推箱子解谜以推进游戏进度，你遇到解不开的谜题，但是你在探索的过程中收获了一些金币，你去买了新的道具传送到了“道具区域”，解谜战斗过后再带着这个道具去到城堡里解开那个之前解不开的谜题，一共有三个这样的道具，对应着也有三个“道具区域”，这一共四个区域（3+城堡=4）的解谜还是不过瘾怎么办？大师塔里还有12个谜题，字面意思，大师塔难度略高，新人勿进，总之3块钱买的CDK赚麻了

Сегодня, 28.07.2024, я поиграл и прошёл игру Ittle Dew, и она мне понравилась! Это простенькое приключение, в которое можно погрузиться на несколько часов. Игра состоит из головоломок, которые заставляют поломать голову, но решать их интересно. Всё нарисовано ярко и красочно, персонажи забавные и запоминающиеся, а юмор на высоте.

Сюжет простой, можно даже сказать, что его тут нет, но исследования подземелий и использование различных предметов (портальная палка, огненный меч и ледяная палка) для решения головоломок делают игру увлекательной и ненадоедающей. Однако есть и небольшой минус. Чтобы получить все достижения, нужно много раз проходить одни и те же места и перепроходить игру несколько раз, даже на скорость. Это может быть немного скучно, поэтому я решил не проходить на все ачивки.

В целом, Ittle Dew — это потрясающая игра, в которую стоит поиграть всем, кто любит мелкие приключения и головоломки. Даже с повторяющимися заданиями, она оставляет только хорошие впечатления и отличное настроение! (НО ЖДАТЬ ОТ НЕЁ ЧЕГО ТО МАСШТАБНОГО НЕ СТОИТ)

Reminds me of chip’s challenge with a Zelda theme.

It’s all block puzzles which is fine since it’s not a very long game.

I enjoyed the tongue in cheek humor and retro inspired graphics.

I also like how there are multiple ways to solve puzzles. Quite a few are rather complicated until you figure out some advanced mechanics.

I did find the early sections of the game to be tedious at times and I kept getting lost. Also accidentally leaving a room and resetting your puzzle on accident happened a lot and was annoying.

If you look at the preview and it seems like your kind of game then you’ll probably enjoy it, but overall I feel it’s kind of a “meh” game.

Didn’t love it and didn’t hate it, more ambivalent towards this one.

Pick it up on sale

Surprisingly charming little game that walks a line between a parody on old school zelda-like games, but plays solid and doesnt take itself too seriously. It pokes fun at the genre in a great way without being grounded in lame jokes or cheese.

The game itself takes about 3-5 hours to explore an do a complete play through depending on how quick you are to figure out the puzzles. There are a surprising amount of different things you can do with basically 3 tools. Using them in different combinations to solve puzzles is pretty satisfying and (most) puzzles are logic rather than raw skill or speed based solutions. That said there are a few very challenging bonus dungeons that up the difficulty which are optional. You can speed run the game in about 15 min with optimal pathing but its not something you are going to do in your first play through or two.
On that note - I also liked that there are 4 different combinations that you can end the game with. This doesnt change the overall story but it does give you a different kind of boss fight at the end and different challenges/puzzles to solve throughout the play through depending on the tools you pick - which was a neat way to blend the paths together.
Overall highly recommend. Played seamlessly on the Steam Deck & looking forward to trying out the sequel.

What a fun game! Fantastic puzzles and while it is a Zelda-like it really stands on its own with its own variety of fun box puzzles and honestly much more challenging puzzles than pretty much any Zelda game. Also the achievements mean it is possible to skip any of the three items altogether which is pretty sweet! It's also really nice that the tip system will tell you if you need more items to do the current room so you don't get into that Metroidvania "ummm am I missing a mechanic / am I just dumb or am I not ready for this room yet?" thing. Really great, looking forward to playing the sequel soon!

Древняя игра детства :)

Сто раз забывал про неё - сто раз вспоминал. Даже как-то раз смог наткнуться на неё в Стим год назад (я тогда не помнил названия игры - то ли Q.T.E.W, то ли ещё что-то), и даже добавил в желаемое, но не придал особого значения этой находке, пусть и порадовался. И вот спустя десятилетие с лишним, я вновь в неё играю - радости полные штаны :D

На самом деле, я думал, что, как обычно, ностальгические воспоминания далеки от реальности, - но не в этот раз, эта игра действительно очень хороша и даже до сих пор выглядит очень и очень свежо в некоторых моментах - особенно в рисовке и эдакой полу-анимированной стилистике.

Геймплей весьма разнообразен, но весьма угловат и "туповат", что, впрочем, не мешает засесть и порешать пару-тройку новых головоломок, или пройти дальше по сюжету - уж какой есть (честно, не помню, что там вообще).

В общем, буду и дальше играть по чуть-чуть, дабы растянуть ностальгическое удовольствие ;)

Люблю игры Ludosity. Очень запоминающийся стиль (моя аватарка, которую я не менял уже много лет, взята как раз оттуда), своя мультивселенная персонажей, кочующих из игры в игру, общая дурашливость атмосферы - в общем, интерес взялся не на ровном месте. И моей отправной точкой стала именно Ittle Dew, игра про девочку-раздолбайку и летающего лиса-алкаша, на пару ищущих новый плот, дабы убраться с острова.

Вообще, я хотел вменяемый паззл - и я его получил. Путь к цели лежит через основной замок и три побочных области с магическими приблудами. Можно сначала получить все предметы, тогда любая, даже самая заковыристая загадка будет решаемой. А можно обойтись только ДВУМЯ из троицы артефактов - и понять, какой маршрут приведёт к финишу. Поскольку всего предмета три, несложно подсчитать, что игрок имеет возможность составить 3 пары и пройти тремя уникальными путями + брутфорс со всем набором.

Дальше - больше: одно из достижений требует пройти игру быстрее, чем за 15 минут. И здесь нужны не столько быстрые пальцы, сколько умение шевелить мозгами, т.к. срезки, здорово укорачивающие путь, сопровождаются ГОРАЗДО более сложными головоломками. Из числа тех, которые, даже пройдя раз, через сутки уже не сможешь точно быть уверенным, что с ходу вспомнишь решение. А есть ещё необязательная пещера зубодробительного челленджа, в которую можно и не соваться, если не готов перестать мыслить шаблонно, потому что часть используемых там механик даже не фигурирует в основном пути.

Дополняется всё это лёгкими стычками с противниками, несколькими несложными боссами, исследованиями окрестностей острова и сбором коллекционных карточек с "досье" на проживающих в этом нарисованном мире существ. Я даже не вижу смысла пытаться выискивать недостатки, это хорошо именно настолько, насколько и звучит.

This game just over-uses the dullest bits of Zelda (Block puzzles). I'm not immersed in an adventure. I feel like I'm playing a puzzle game where the adventure side of it is barely tacked on.

全く楽しめない。

「暴力的」「内容が支離滅裂」（秩序のあるカオスというより、無秩序的なカオス。「意味がない」「ストーリーがほとんどない」）
「難易度が高い」（人によると思うけど、自分は、簡単に解けないパズルも多くて、イライラする）
「ひたすら、パズルばかり」（メインダンジョンも、おまけも、ひたすら「パズルを解くだけ」で、「解法が１つしかない」ストレスも、増す。）

なので、「ストレスを溜めながら、攻略動画を見たりもしながら、解法が１つのパズルを解いて、脳みそが疲れたりしても」
ストーリーがないから、「解くことに対して意味がない」
解いて、先に進んで、また、「同じような、ストレスが溜まるパズル」と「無秩序で、内容がなく、意味不明なことしか言わない、敵たち」に出会って、戦って…というだけ。

これを楽しめる人の感覚が良くわからないから、レビューでそれなりに好評になっているのが、全く理解できない。

このレビューに記載した要素が、苦手、楽しめると思わない人は、手を出さないのが、おすすめ…

I want to love this game as something that survived the Ouya days. I think the characters, albeit how short you meet them, are fun and enjoyable and the comedy is spot on. But when you base your game off of effectively 3 core mechanics, and one of the mechanics is wonky, then DEMAND the player use said wonky ass mechanic in a final boss fight that represents nothing the games bosses/enemies have represented, with rules that dont apply elsewhere, and give base it off of a grid style attack pattern (bombs) as your main weaponry but give enemies hit boxes that do NOT follow that grid pattern, alongside enemies that cannot be hurt by those bombs, in a room you can't see 80% of with how they intended the boss fight to go, etc. etc. and the boss battle is 7 stages with multiple hits required per stage?! And you built all of this around the wonki ass mechanic that in theory could and should be consistent and great, but ISN'T!?
God I wanted to like this game. I even tried to use spite to beat the final boss. But there's a difference between a tough final boss that you have built up towards and use all the lessons/abilities/weapons you've earned, and a mechanically broken boss fight not working as intended that insists upon itself that everything is fine. I wanted to reccommend this game so badly, but I can''t reccommend 90% of a game and say "stop at the final boss dont even bother since the devs couldn't." That's not acceptable. I won't put another gamer through that. I'm sorry.

Vielleicht habe ich irgendetwas übersehen oder bin in der falschen Reihenfolge in verschiedene Räume gegangen, sodass mir noch eine nötige Fähigkeit fehlt... oder ich bin einfach zu blöd für diese Art von Rätsel.

Off-beat puzzler with cartoony fun art style and comic relief. Main game is cool however the Master Cave relies on play mechanics not fully explained during normal walk-through e.g. frozen teleport cube extends player projectiles (helps solve remote puzzle elements) or bombs only destroy cracked walls not frozen ones.

A short but sweet Zelda-Like that shines on repeat playthroughs.

Ittle Dew is a great little gem of a game that sees you crash on an island, enter a dungeon and solve puzzles. As you venture through the dungeon you'll encounter a variety of enemies and obstacles. Eventually you'll stumble across a chest which contains money. This is then used to purchase an artifact which sets you off to a dungeon to acquire and tutorialise the tool. The best part about this is that you can obtain all three of the items or beat the game with a combination of two of the items. Depending on what you choose and the order you choose the items in affects how you navigate the main dungeon and how you fight the end boss.

The story is rather simple overall but the characters are endearing enough with the game mocking some general game mocking some of the usual zelda-like tropes. The game visually is decent looking and the sound design and soundtrack are serviceable. The game controls well and has some clever cheeky mechanics that you only really use when accessing harder paths or optional areas highlighting the cleverness of the tools provided.

Overall a great little title that wont blow your socks off but will be a fun 2 - 3 hour jaunt with some replay-ability to boot.

Short and very very sweet.

The puzzles (I felt, I'm not exactly good at them) were challenging, some I had to search for solutions, some others I waited until I had all tools to solve them more easily.

The story is dumb and sincerelly it's part of it's charm, and the combat is awful but the focus is entirely on the puzzles.

Finally on the bosses, as someone who got the 'just dew it' achievement... I would rather not even state my opinion on the bosses.

Good game, good mechanics, funny, puzzles are actually good and some even hard.

I finished it btw, and should have gotten like 4 or 5 achievements, but what happened was the game wouldn't start normally on Steam, so I would force started it from its file location, but no time registered on Steam, no achievements, and even the save file was deleted, good that I finished it in one go. Starting the game from there wouldn't even start the game on Steam, so if you have that issue, go to the game in the game file, properties, compatibility and tick the "Run as administrator" box. That should solve the issue.

Sehr Cooles Spiel!
Visuell schön, dank den handgezeichneten Sprites. Vor allem so Details, wie eingefrorenen Gegner.
Rätzel sind angenehm, vor allem wenn du es erneut mit einem Tool weniger durchspielen musst.

Das Einzige was ich nicht möchte, waren die Rätzel des optionalen Master-Dungons.

This is a great puzzle game. It is a bit short (It took me eight hours to fully complete it and I took my time.), but it also is very cheap which makes it ok.

Nice art style, interesting characters and freedom to solve the puzzles in many different possible orders, which can make them harder or easier, depending on what you are looking for.

My only issue with the game was two or three puzzles (not in the main story) that require quick and precise commands to be solved. These were quite annoying.

Sliding box puzzles the game. Very short. Movement feels WEIRD on PS4 controller, not sure why. maybe movement speed is too slow? Maybe my analog stick and D-pad are bad? I'm not sure.

Combat blows chunks. Very simple (not inherently a bad thing) but I tended to miss a lot when an enemy was close to me. Bosses are alright despite this!

Puzzles are the main draw and they are pretty okay. Most optional and speedrun (?) stuff can get pretty tough.

Overall, I liked it but i can't say I had fun. Dialogue was alright too. A solid 5/10. Not great, but not terrible either. Right in the middle

Perfect Game #41, Ittle Dew. A funny Zelda-esque game that offers plenty of new mechanics and puzzles. The characters you meet and play as through the game are all very funny and service the plot well enough. The game has a lot to explore, but if you're just looking at the basic story then you won't find much. Most of what this game has to offer is hidden away in other areas that you can optionally explore once you obtain new tools. The tools themselves are all fun to use, and when they're combined together they create a lot of fun solutions to puzzles. Overall, it's a fun game that doesn't take itself too seriously but will still offer some hard puzzles if you go looking for them.

It's cute, short and pretty fun. Some good puzzles and a surprisingly helpful hint giver that answers questions like "Can I solve this yet?" Biggest short comings are around combat, which is super basic and a bit frustrating despite, and the bosses are a bit too gimmicky, in a way that feels pretty one note most of the time.

Quick text review:

Ittle and Tipsie (A flying fox who loves health potion) wash up on an island with a bunch of monsters and a giant castle... and that excites them because essentially their job description is adventurer.
-Ultimately this game is an indie homage to the first Legend of Zelda (Top down view, simple combat, items to use and puzzles to solve)
-And by simple combat I mean you whack a lot of enemies with a stick that can't do combos and use three other possible items (One of which is a reskin of the stick) that have combat use on occasion. A teleporter and an item to freeze things but usually the stick/ flame sword will do (Some enemies you one-shot).
-More importantly is the exploration and puzzle solving
-You can open shortcuts and technically only need two of three of the items to complete the game (The menu encourages speed runs) and some elements can be mysterious (The castle can be a tad labyrinthine)
-Can collect cards as rewards but you don't play a card game with them here (Only in a later Ludosity game card city Nights)
-The puzzles are surprisingly challenging and satisfying (especially those in the master cave) and sometimes require you to use the items in experimental ways (For example light a fuse on a bomb, freeze it, push it in the right direction, teleport it while it slides... no one told me that was possible)
-Functional story with a bit of referential humour (But a better sort because they're a bit sarcastic and too cool for school about it) plus it has a couple of other gags
-Good hand drawn visuals with a light colour palette and an animated feel (Some stationary objects have moving lines). Looks good inspite of the masses of brown and grey... has weird enemies too (You beat stacks of flapjacks)
-Better example of unlockable concept art because they sort of wrote commentary and maybe even gags on the pictures
-A simple yet worthwhile thing

Practical Concerns:
-Can have good value for money when it's on sale (R2.45/ hour for me)
-Small download (443 Mb on the hard drive)
-Easy to run
-Fairly cute and kid friendly

Extremely short, but offers a few decent puzzles, I guess. It's basically a single chapter of a 2D Zelda game. Get it on a steep sale if you want to kill a couple hours.

Note that this game is 100% designed for gamepads, and lacks any options - or even instructions - for its hidden keyboard controls. Also, my controller became disconnected at a couple points during play, and the game wouldn't respond to it after reconnecting until I quit and relaunched.

Oh geez, it only now occurred to me that I never reviewed this one! I guess I'll try to make this one short, then.

This game is whimsical, cute, fun, and interesting. Unfortunately, also a bit short and with rather basic combat.

Every character design is charming and full of personality, and the writing is adorable silly humor all around. Ittle herself is absolutely perfect: a carefree, eager adventurer who loves nothing more than danger and treasure. All of her adorable hand-drawn animations convey lots of personality, and her writing always evokes the charm of an excitable and spontaneous adventurer. Her partner, Tippsie the flying fox, is her perfect foil: a lot more down-to-Earth, sometimes a bit sarcastic, and significantly more apathetic to adventure than her human friend.

The main goal of the game is trying to get to the end of the castle dungeon in the center of the island, where you'll finally be able to get a boat to go back to the ocean. The "external loop" of the game, so to speak, revolves around exploring the central castle for money, using that money to buy a pass to get to a dungeon, and finishing the dungeon to get an extra dungeon item.

The thing is: you don't need all dungeon items to beat the game! Any pair of items among the three is enough to get you to the end. The castle is so well designed that it can have several different routes through it without feeling like all the routes are completely separate. Heck, if you're good enough, you can finish the whole thing in 15 minutes! This game is quite replayable despite its short length, with all the different ways to beat it that exist.

Well, the combat is basic, like I said before, but you know what's not basic? The puzzles. The puzzles are the real "meat" of the game. They're really involved and challenging, making for formidable planning and timing challenges. They're sure to be enjoyable brain teasers to any puzzle inclined players out there.

Also, there's a bit of exploration. On the path back from a dungeon to the pirate's shop, you can encounter a lot of small caves. They usually contain either a combat challenge or a puzzle challenge to solve in order to get some treasure. The treasure may be an upgrade to Ittle's skills, or these adorable silly cards for every enemy and player in the game. With the exception of one very special location, most caves only require the dungeon item pertaining to the dungeon you just left, so you don't have to worry about backtracking.

I normally don't care about achievements in games, they're kind of an afterthought I don't really think about, but I think Ittle Dew absolutely nails that department. Every achievement involves trying something fun, interesting or challenging in the game. There are achievements for beating the game with each possible combination of dungeon items, an achievement for beating the game without killing any humanoid Jenny enemies, an achievement for beating the game in 15 minutes or less, and so on.

What I mean is that, sometimes, games have really pointless achievements, like "beat this one boss" (with said boss being a mandatory critical path boss) or "do this thing 10000 times" (also pretty dumb) but Ittle Dew has none of that. Just straight up good achievements here, that actually enrich the player's experience.

So yeah, despite its short length, Ittle Dew can be quite absorbing, and last you a pretty decent time if you like to replay games to attempt different things.
