A modern version of cult classic Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap! A close collaboration between Lizardcube, DotEmu and legendary series creator Ryuichi Nishizawa, based on Westone Bit Entertainment's original masterpiece.

The six different forms of our shape-shifting hero make up the cast of this non-stop action-adventure platformer!
