Yep, I’m a sucker for pixel art… and this definitely scratched that itch. Loved the designs of not only the characters, but the environment as well. I’ve always wanted to try and capture a “cave-like” aesthetic using a classic 8bit style, but never felt like I pulled it off as well as here. Simple, yet very effective.
As for the gameplay, it is a bit more on the challenging side. But I guess it makes sense given the length of the game (kinda reminds me of how Contra for the NES is only eight stages, but each stage is fairly difficult to get through. One of my favorite childhood games of all time XD).
Anywho, great game overall!
