Alright boss, I've played through most of what you've got posted on itch. My mind is blown! You're such a talented dev and artist! Sad to see you're not currently working on this one, as it's a total gem! This feels like the early portions of a Zelda-level GB game. You've got so much variety packed into this fun-to-play action/RPG-esque adventure game! The artwork, the dialogue, the character progression. It all feels so well designed.
I had put this on my flashcart a month or so ago, got busy and forgot about it. Just picked it back up and played until I think I ran out of stuff to do and was like "Well, let's go buy the full game!" Only to rediscover that it was in development, but looks like it's not anymore...
I totally get it. Reworking an old project such a drag! So take this either as encouragement to push through the pain to complete it, or as accolades for a fantastic old project. Whichever you please.
Looking forward to whatever you've got in the works. Thanks for posting this one. I enjoyed the heck out of it and will replay again focusing on different skills next go around.
