Game description

Do you want to play an insanely hard puzzle game? Then this game is for you. You play as the sorcerer Dana who must traverse 64 difficult puzzles. Levels are filled with many secret items, infinitely spawning enemies, and insanely hard puzzles... all in three lives! ...Well... with a cheat code, you can continue playing from the level you died on, and you'll die a lot. Past level 41 though, when the cheat is used, you are sent back to level 41... Despite this generous cheat from the developers, the game is near impossible to beat the first time around. There are a variety of puzzles that are very inventive and all of them use Dana's block creating ability well. Dana has the ability to create blocks underneath to the left or right of him. It's a neat mechanic. Despite the difficult gameplay, Solomon's Key is a well designed and fun game that is a must play for any hardcore NES enthusiast.
