If you like older fangames you will love this game. It has extremely basic gimmicks, but they are all used in a variety of ways to make it feel really unique. There were some sections I thought were a bit poor, mainly the green area I felt didn't do a great job using the field gimmick in ways which hadn't been done before, and it felt a bit unbalanced with some saves I beat first try, and others taking nearly half an hour.

The bosses are decent, however some of the attacks later in the fights were a bit tough to learn leading to some of the fights being a bit boring. The attacks are pretty creative though while sticking to the limitations the game seems to have set for itself.

All in all, I genuinely don't know if I can give a fangame of this style anything higher than an 8 / 10 ;-;. Unique art, bosses, and gimmicks (they don't have to be good art or gimmicks!) are my favorite parts of fangames period and not having those things doesn't improve the experience in any way for me, it makes it way worse ;-;.

Its definitely a preference thing, however I think I am in the minority when it comes to this opinion considering how many people this game resonated with.

All in all, its a very well designed old school fangame.

Very based adventure in old-school design (and it replicates that style like really well), but with modern approach to reduce bullshit and uplift enjoyment. Totally a jammer. The only downside is that bosses felt a bit less creative than platforming (considering sourse of inspiration for them), but it's not really relevant overall

Cool old school style game on the easier side. Really simple gimmicks but nicely used and it plays well. I am not fond of secrets in games and found that aspect to be annoying as its basically making you replay the game once or twice and to me just feels annoying. Extra stage is really cool and super fun to play, though ends on an avoidance that I found to be incredibly boring to play since it uses a very repetitive song and attacks.
