I like the feel of this game - it controls very well. Nice animations for the playable character. I like the background graphics too - good use of color. There's a real sense of exploration. The map system is a nice touch.
Thanks. I appreciate the comment on the map system. it was a lot of work to add it, but I I always felt NES games like Metroid or Zelda 2 could have used a built in map system.
