Demo is on the US store for this. Bizarre game. Its an rpg.... which lasts 30 seconds, as opposed to 60 hours. Stay with me!

The premise is this, a boss on the level summons a spell to destroy the world which will happen in 30 seconds. As the hero you must find a way to defeat the boss before this happens.

You pelt through the level, fights are random, automatic and FAST. You get the chance to have dialogue in towns and upgrade weapons (time is paused at this point) and can reset the timer at the statue of the goddess of time.

It plays out more like a puzzle game, trying to figure the best way through the level in the alloted time, but using the mechanics of RPG to do this. I thought MEH when reading about it, just played it and its a gem. Perfect for quick blast portable gaming too.

There is loads more to this too, have a look at this overview. Barmy as anything though!
