Excellent work on the graphics and music — this really had the feel of an NES game! The game itself is a pretty unique take on the JRPG genre, mixing in both magic and gunplay, and forcing you to avoid shooting the panicking hostages during battles inside. I did take a while to figure out what the different characters' abilities were, due to the lack of an explanation in-game, but for an NES game, that's not unusual. Overall, great job!
