I love the game! I'm a sucker for the retro-aesthetic. I really like the tilesets and the background art. I do love the character designs, my only note would be that they do blend into the world a bit, although there are simple ways to go about making them pop so I wouldn't worry too much about that.
8-bit tunes are always a blast to listen to. I always find them so unique and fresh. I love the way the introductory cutscene is scored~ hats off to the musicians!
I unfortunately didn't manage to make it to the end because I ran into a bug walking down the stairs where it got stuck in stair-like motion even though I wasn't on the stairs anymore :( I'm not entirely too sure what happened but I might've been button jamming a little so it's probably an edge case scenario
