Aesthetics were new for me, I like em!! I love the sprites, they looked silly at moments but over all the mapping and sprites were my favorite thing.
You need to revise your triggering events and the events per se. you can cancel and repeat same event over and over and after the second explosion I was softlocked into the game.
Combat was simple, not bad but not impressive either.
It was a good entry, gave me different vibes, it just needs tons of polish.
