Holy ripping projects, Batman!
So here we have a game inspired by Live-A-Live, where your main character uses the sprite from Barbarian, set in Zelda II levels using music from L-A-L and Rudra no Hihou.
All in all though, despite a few bugs and being a little rough around the edges, this is a fun and exciting game.
I thought the caveman translations were a quirky and fun touch to add to the game and it set it apart towards breaking out and being it's own thing instead of being cocooned in all it's existing source material.
Though I do love a good grind I do think the game would benefit from extra content rather than just traversing a side on landscape initiating bump encounters. I like the sussy 'whaddaya buyin' type merchant in the dark cloak, that was a cool little feature.
I think (and perhaps suspect) that in the following chapters should you choose to develop the game there would be some more context framed around the world and perhaps some NPC and dialogue to accompany and already installed neat battle system. Good work and congrats!
