Just a short review:

The good:
* Good story concept
* The music: I normally don't notice music much, this time I did and I liked it.
* Lots of secrets
* Burnable cacti
* You start with some goodies instead of empty handed
* Hilarious end dance
* Gorgeous red tiling for the underground bits
* Well worked out map

The bad:
* The sound effects are a bit cras
* The end dance is a tat long
* Lots of fighting, few people to talk with and hardly anything to do (but fight)

I really like the concept (evil being making the desert take over the land). This could possibly be a great quest/ romp if there was more to do in relation to the concept.
It kept me entertained by how well the mapping and graphics had been worked out. Shame there wasn't more to do.
