Absolutely incredible work. I was instantly reminded of games like Burger Time and the original Mario Brothers arcade cabinets. And my jaw dropped when I... well. I'd like to preserve any surprises for others. I'll just say that this game did an incredible job of setting up expectations, and very quickly subverting those expectations in ways I absolutely did not anticipate.
The attention to detail in this game is honestly staggering. It really feels like you're playing a NES classic - that in itself is a difficult feat. But to put together a game that both feels fresh and unique, while also highlighting a lot of what makes old classic console games nostalgic? That's very hard to pull off, in my experience. All this to say, this achieves that here - beyond a reasonable doubt.
I'm so glad I played this. And I can't wait to see what you get up to next!
