I sure do love games where pressing "Up" makes me go at 45 degrees.
If you want to make 'up' pertain to a grid, then at least please use a pseudo-isometric
perspective where the 'up' direction is more like 30 degrees so that it's intuitive. This game
would have been better if you had to press two directional keys to go diagonally.
I've tried to play this a couple times over the last decade, and that's always ruined it for me.

I was hoping this would be the 1990's DOS title, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharaoh's_Tomb
I am disappoint.

Actually, just learned that Apogee released Pharoh's Tomb and Arctic Adventures (the sequel) for
free.

I love the level design, but the control scheme adds a needless difficulty curve. It's manageable
but the clunkiness is complete unnecessary and the lack of a jumping button turns me off.
If you guys want to play isometric games that don't suck ass check out this web page.

Or play Scurge Hive and Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge.
And if you guys want a frustratingly, absurdly hard game check out Altered Space: A 3-D Alien
Adventure. That game is artificially difficult to the core.
