This is my favourite kind of game. You hit me right in the nostalgia part of my heart. Gameboy! Zelda style block pushing puzzles!! Mazes!?! Characters following each other! Twist endings! Sweet stories.

I. EFFING. LOVE. IT.

That's not very constructive feedback. That's just my emotional respond. If you asked me to nitpick, I'd say the block interactions were a little finicky. Sometimes they'd slide when I was just trying to walk by them.  And the timing on the attack to hit the bats always felt off. I felt like I should have hit them, but they hit me first.

Seriously though, that's just to give you something to think about. This game got a near perfect score from me. Loved it.

I'm so glad you liked it!! It means a lot that you really got the vibe we were going for. I also agree that the block interactions are a bit wonky so I hope to improve that in the future. Thanks for all the constructive feedback!
