In the case of Canari Games’ Castaway, the game takes a lot of inspiration from Nintendo’s Game Boy calssic The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.

Here’s a bit more about the game from Canari:

Assume the role of Martin, whose spaceship crash-landed on an uncharted island where his faithful pet was taken by hostile creatures. Retrieve your weapons and venture out to rescue your kidnapped companion in this family-friendly and charming action-adventure mini-game!

Castaway will hit the eShop with an MSRP of $7.99. Will you be giving it a download? Share with us below!
