Really fun game! It eventually got pretty challenging, but I always suck at timing mechanics. I never felt like the game cheated me, the mistakes felt completely my own so that's difficulty done right. I got defeated a few times but kept coming back, it was a good time!
Graphics are fantastic. The black, red, and gold is striking and creates a cool vibe. The art for the capn' is great, he looks cute.
Soundtrack and FX are here, nothing standout but also nothing grating. It meets expectations!
Gameboy Soul is here, this would have totally been on the shelf back in the day when I was deciding what to bring home from Toys 'R Us.
Quirkiness is pretty good, this is pretty unique. The banter added to a quirky feeling to it.
Secondary theme interpretation: There is gold, I assume it is old. Interpretation check met.
