    Played through it a little bit and I was admittedly skeptical at first brush but I’m genuinely impressed as I get into the first dungeon. That four-way bolt trap with the timed button was diabolical.

      Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying it. You mentioned being skeptical at first - may I ask if there was anything particular about the initial presentation you found off-putting?

        Nothing in particular. The graphical style just didn’t stand out as very unique to me. Simple gameplay and a fairly linear introduction.

        Then I started getting deeper into the dungeon and dying a few times and getting that old school Zelda vibe
