Really felt like an NES adventure game, love the design of all the special items I found so far. One more nostalgic thing this captures is going onto gamefaqs to find a walkthrough on one puzzle I'm stuck on. I tried some tricks to get both buttons pressed with the princess, but I'm wondering if i missed a crucial item somewhere?

Thanks for playing, and big thanks for recording it! That’s the first time I’ve watched somebody play it, and that’s super helpful.
I had never thought of your approach to the two switches, but it really ought to have worked. I’ll look into that soon as the jam’s over.
The intended solution depends on the treasure from the room just before that, the one behind the Zelda traps. (that item is also meant to be necessary to get past the knives, but ha ha, I didn’t think it would be that easy to slip past the knives on pure nerve, well done there!)
If you’re still stumped (I’ll write this backward because it’s even spoilerier): .retaw eht ssorca erusaert taht gnirb ot dnaw eht esU
Again, thanks for the very helpful review!
