Legend of Dark Witch

White witch, white witch, poisoning you! White witch, white witch coming for you!

As usual for Christmas time you get a lot of games that are rather cheap and easy to play... so that you can churn them out on the blog due to not really have time playing bigger games during the holidays. I've noticed I really find the short games from Circle fulfilling small doses of bigger games. This one is no exception. Looking at it you are Zizou Olympia, a goddess sent to the world to find the Syega Chrystals that have been stolen so you set out to find the culprit. It's really a Mega Man clone at it's core where you fight across 6 stages at the beginning, then a seventh and just before the real boss you have a boss rush, in a similar transporter room as in those games. You even get the signature weapon of the boss you defeat. What sets it appart is the more RPG element of collecting bats from defeated enemies as currency and using it to buy upgrades. More life, better attack and so on. So it's more like a platform shoot 'em up with rig elements. Not the hardest, but then I played on the easiest setting just so I could finish it fast.
