This game definitely reminded me of the NES-era games from the title card, to the music, to the art that you used!
Be careful with your scrolling text at the opening for a couple of reasons -- one, it's hard to read with that size / color / speed. But also because it drops a lot of information on the player right at once that they're unfamiliar with, so it's harder to get engaged with than if you'd included it in pieces within the progression of the game.
I LOVE your world map! I find them very difficult to do well, and yours is really lovely. :)
I'm definitely interested to see more from this world after playing through this game. Thanks for sharing it with us! :)
