I love how you interpeted the stuck in a loop mechanic and the games really fun. I don't think i can fully comment on the poslished mechanincs since I didn't beat it but from what I played it was pretty good, not to mention since it's so simple it's very cohesive. I guess the downsides are the fact that it doesn't really look like an snes game and there weren't that many sounds, but overall its a very good and fun game!
