Haha, this is a fun little game. I made it all the way to the end, answered the questions correctly and beat the game. Yeah, I feel like a winner now B-)

Entered "to seek the holy grail" in question two, was half-expecting an easter egg. :P Funny dialogue.

Neat game, but I wasn't incentivized to use the frying pan since the iron was useful in all situations.

Ha, that's an interesting take on the Greek myths. I see it as a clever commentary on how much Sony has defecated over the original mythology after the first God of War :)

The gameplay itself is nice and fun and the different enemy types breaking it up quite nicely, also the color change helps in understanding that I progress because I couldn't quite tell otherwise.

I answered the first question wrong (yellow instead of blue), but luckily that slipped by.

Pretty fun, though having unlimited irons made it pretty easy.

Nice little short game. It could use some balancing. As it is it's far too easy. Then again, if it was harder it wouldn't be a little short game anymore, would it? :-)

A very nice little game. Loved the sly take on its source material. :)

Controls and visuals worked well and the audio , though simple, was very effective. I enjoyed the final questions too!
