Super fun game, great job taking elements from the original and modernizing them to make them more fair and fun. There's some elements though that I do wish had been changed from the original, like the ability to rescue more than 1 friend at once or the ability to still rescue friends after killing all the enemies. There was a ton of polish present, the art was simple but clean and cute and did a great job of complimenting the style of the game. In terms of sound design and music you definitely knocked it out of the park, the sfx being drums was a really awesome idea that really makes the game. I wish the tutorial was more than just pages of instructions at the beginning, even just a couple levels with controls and text around could explain the mechanics in a way that's much easier to consume. Still a phenomenal game, so great job!
