Controls and art style are great, and like others have mentioned it felt a lot like playing Metroid, or Mega Man (two of my favorites). The overworld was a little empty but going into each level was really fun. I really like what you have done with this!
The music is very catchy and the art style is really great. You nailed the NES feel. I did have a hard time figuring out why I was assembling the team when the tetris game started, but I like where this is going!
Now this is a great game. That rat king took forever for me to beat though because it took me a while to figure out the wand was only stunning him. Also those bats are going to give me nightmares. Really great aesthetics and presentation!
This is a very cool idea! It was tricky getting the blocks exactly where I wanted them, but that is part of the puzzle. Definitely feels like an NES game.
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! I'll be working on some bug fixes, including the screen lock issue you mention and some fine tuning of the gameplay / visual tweaks to upload after the jam ends.
