best way i can summarise this experience is "the de-closeting of zelda"
on a more serious note, this is well worth the 5.00 usd (or 3.89 aud, i got it on sale) you pay for it. the criticisms that I have with it mostly boil down to minuscule annoyances, like how sometimes a snake or bug wont want to move out of the way of a screen trigger and basically force you to take a hit.
another aspect that might put a dampener on things is the cryptic nature of some areas (at one point the only way to progress is to reload your game due to the layout of the room), but I cant fault it too much because everything else is dead simple, and this is a game made by owch, so dont expect any handholding when it comes to story/metaphorical stuff
All in all, go pick this up. Or buy the soundtrack, whichever comes first
