Simple and lovely with a very impressive scale! Honestly pacing-wise this felt perfect and I'm shocked. Nothing overstayed its welcome and the progression of getting items was super fluid. Also the coins were never in terrible locations that made finding all them a pain which i was worried about. The music was nice, maybe a tiny bit repetitive over a long playtime but the battle music added some ncie variety. Maybe a couple more enemies on the overworld would've helped too, so the platforming and combat weren't totally separate most of the time.
Great job!
