I think this game is pure gold.
If this was your first attempt at this style, you did an amazing job! Everything's here: cool retro graphics, creepy music, haunted house/occult subject matter, limited lives, ever-changing collectible locations... even an outside-the-game YouTube excursion (if you die a lot)!Tons of replayability because each attempt introduces something we haven't seen before. Sure, there are a few AI flaws but in my view they're easy to look past. PLEASE make another game in this vein!!
