I'm old enough that I immediately recognized assets from the NES game Legacy of the Wizard, so kudos for taking inspiration from a sadistic classic for your sadistic game~

good eye! i made this back in my baby game dev days when i didn't know how to draw pixel art yet, so i traced some of the tiles from Legacy of the Wizard! there's a little bit of wizard dna in the music too.
Not OP but thanks for confirming! I had a feeling back when I played it in 08/09, but when the sprites are that size I thought maybe it was just a coincidence that they were similar.
Grats on the surge of popularity!
