This was a phenomenal game all around! The concept is unique, novel, and highly interesting to begin with. I was immediately impressed by the storytelling style via panels (and soon via dialogue). From there, the retro visuals & music combined with some colorful style make for a fun arcade feel, as well as a perfect fit for the incidentally arcade-like gameplay.
Controls are very fun and easy to understand. The game plays smoothly and has a lot of variety, all while being a perfect balance of fair yet challenging.
The execution and presentation is excellent, so it's easily one of my favorites! Impressive work!
