wow this is one am ambitious entry... the squashing, stretching and general animation of the character is great... the controls do feel a tiny bit strange... (the attack initiating when you release the attack button felt a bit weird initially), but very soon got used to them. I'd have loved a map and and a couple more save points (I died a fair while after getting the throwing sword thing) and was a bit frustrated how far I was thrown back.
But the execution of this entry is great! a little more polish and I'd happily pay for a game that looked and played as this one does!
