It's Mario 2 played as a Zelda game! Easily up there with the best of the jam in gameplay, and hilarious if you think what's literally happening. Whack a girl 6 times with a turnip, then log-carry her to the sexy church and chuck her in, because surrealism! The music fits the mood well.
My one gameplay gripe is picking up enemies. It's harder than it should be because you usually take a step towards them before lifting, and your blink time is low, meaning you might take two hits for one failed grab.
Two others seem like bugs. First, the one that caused me to restart is that if you walk on from the left, then try to go back to the right, you get stuck behind the Liam window and can't walk on-screen or exit to the right.
Second, the recovery statues stop working after one use with no indication. I had to restart once and it was the same on my second play, so this wasn't a one-time bug. If it's intended, just make it stop glowing and it would be clear.
