When I started playing this one I was a bit skeptical as to if the theme was going to show up in a meaningful way. because at first it felt like just navigating a pretty dry maze. Thankfully, once the theme kicked in, the excellent game design choices got to shine.
The pixel art is of course also phenomenal. Seeing the light produced by the bullets cast onto the skeleton's head showed how the artist pays attention to the little things in a way that really elevates the aesthetic in the smallest of places. (I loved the spider on the webs!)
