Playing through this game felt like stepping back into a world of childhood wonder and adventure. Sort of like the feeling you get from watching a Miyazaki movie? From the get-go, it hooked me with pixelated charm, reminiscent of those classic 16-bit RPGs of those glorious days of old. The use of dark colors in this trecherous dungeon, on my epic quest to find enlightenment, perfectly captured the theme of shadows and light. Felt like I was exploring a lovingly crafted homage to the SNES era. With tasteful soundtrack that perfectly matches the overall mood to boot! And the combat being a clever blend of action and strategy, urging me to carefully manage my 3 brain cells (that are really bad at multitasking) between dodging beautifully animated enemy attacks, while pulling off my own attack combinations, really drove alchemy home.
The twist at the ending was executed so well! It was hinted at, all along, by the wacky enemies I had been fighting, and yet I didn't see it coming. But it made everything click in place just right. Including the title of the game!!! Much charm, much heart and soul, eggcellent game! 🌞
