It's funny how evocative one screenshot can be, because I was pretty strongly interested in it based on the cover. A very cool setting with tall beautiful clouds, endless waves, and a witch with long flowing hair riding a mechanical broomstick. Just really hooks you in!
I was hoping I'd see some people trying to emulate Mode 7 (I was going to try and fake it with 3D for my game if I had the time) but talking with the developer, GhostBomb, revealed that she is actually implementing it how it would've been using the techniques they would have had to use before. Honestly really incredible. And then on top of that, the loop the game puts you in has really cool musical flares and design considerations, like that the track picks up in intensity just as a boss enemy comes on screen. I feel like if the game were expanded, it could pick up a decent amount of people following on it.
