I completed the game.
The presentation is top notch, the nes asthetics and soundtracks are perfectly nailed, the controls feel great and the speed are perfect in both parts, the dungeon is good, the visual feedback are also quite satisfying and so is the boss fight.
I thought this game could have been slightly harder.
Great game!
Thank you for playing! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and appreciate your words on the gameplay and visuals!
As far as the difficulty goes, it sounds to me like you were my original vision's intended audience, haha. This game was going to be much harder, but I opted for a more casual romp for the jam specifically to ensure the entire experience could be enjoyed by all.
Once I've got the time to continue working, future versions will be a more difficult to complete.
