While irritating, this minor flaw does little to diminish the wholly immersive experience otherwise.
One moment that had me bursting into hysterics occurred when I accidentally triggered a concealed trap, sending my hapless character rocketing wildly across the screen before crash landing in a pile of gems. It was hard not to laugh out loud watching the helpless flailing about.

Riddled with hidden perils and covert passages, both beneficial and detrimental to progress, exploring each stage meticulously is key to avoiding an untimely demise or missing crucial shortcuts. Experiment boldly with alternative problem-solving approaches as well.
Fine-tuning my character along with the ability to gradually unlock special talents adds another immersive layer. The sense of achievement collected gems provide as levels, skills and enhancements gradually become accessible maintains my eager anticipation for what new mysteries each new stage may hold.
