I didn't get very far before I rage quit, but maybe I just suck! I wanted to be able to jump but I respect the mechanic of swinging. Maybe I'll give it another shot! I LOVED the opening cinematic. Certain things took away from the NES feel. It might have been good to bit crush the "OOH" when you get hit. Just a little thing. But the vibes were really nice.

Thanks for the feedback! :)
You probably don't suck, it is a pretty challenging game. That's on purpose, because we feel that's a staple of NES-era games. Though we did put some checkpoints in to make it a bit less punishing. And once you get the hang of the mechanics it gets a lot easier. :)
If you get past the first level, you'll get a new form which gives you the ability to jump. Hopefully that's an incentive to give it another go. ;)
