This had a bit of a "Putt Putt"-game vibe. No idea what Putt Putt games are? That's because I am ancient like my first computer, the ZX81 Spectrum.

I can see this minimalist style being very entertaining to young kids, with the vibrant music, simple interaction, and clear story with a hero and a villain. It certainly brought a smile to my face too. Well done.
