YMMV / Mantra

Go To

  • Anticlimax Boss: The Final Boss, Balther, is pretty easy to defeat. Basically, if you buy enough HP recovery and stamina recovery items and use them, you'll win.
  • Awesome Music: Note that the game is only 694k as a compressed StuffIt archive; the music is sample-based.
  • Contested Sequel: Mantra II does not even come close to the level of quality of the original, with weak music and marginal-at-best cartoon graphics.
    • According to the developers: "To be frank, we all pretty well agree that Mantra II was nowhere near as good as Mantra. We just didn’t have the resources to throw at it at the time, and it wasn’t as polished."
  • Good Bad Bugs: The closed doors are supposed to be opened using Interchangeable Antimatter Keys; however, in the original version, it's possible to attack and "kill" them instead. (The open source version doesn't allow this.) Doing this makes some Sequence Breaking possible.
