Enjoyment: 3.5/5. Enjoyed this one mostly. Except for that one room with the falling exploding things.
Execution: 4/5: Not perfect but pretty well-executed. I know there was a map planned, but I'm not inclined to be super-weird about its not being there, as I wouldn't have known otherwise. I always struggle a bit with large characters and having to dodge things, so maybe that goes to taste.
Sensory: 3.5/5. The characters are well-animated; the backgrounds and some tiles left more to be desired. Enemies were somewhat fitting. Music worked well and sound choice was good. (As this is the second category reaching 3.5, Enjoyment is getting bumped to 4.)
Metroidvania: 5/5. Does what the genre does on the tin. Even had some secrets.
Relevance to theme: 4/5. Leans well into classically Igavania convention.
