I defeated the flesh!
This is my current top pick of the jam with more than 20 games played. I loved so much about it. A full Zelda experience in a quick jam experience! Even though I died about a dozen times, it was never tedious to jump back in and the dungeon design was so well done I could get to where I was or a new path easily enough. Really well thought out design. I appreciate it. The art and overall aesthetic are fantastic.
If they gave out an award for best game thumbnail in the jam, this would have to take the top prize. It fits in perfectly with the NES black box collection. It's what made me want to play, but the writing and simple yet challenging mechanics kept me hooked.
I wish I had some constructive feedback, but this was a blast throughout. Maybe a boost to the boss, or a new mechanic to mix it up and keep the player on his toes. By the time I faced the boss I was powered up enough to roll through him.
Great work. Loved it.
