Solid game! Did not expect so many cool level transitions!
Hahahah, thank you! The transitions were both fun to watch come together and a massive pain to code.
Everything about this game is great quality, graphics, music and gameplay. I love the transition between the space shooter to the binding of Issac top down style gameplay. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I worked diligently to get that classic Zelda Dungeon feel just right-- hoping to add more once I've had a chance to rest!
Really awesome entry into the jam. I love that it's a shooter, then transitions to sorta a Zelda style dungeon crawler was unexpectedly cool. Music and graphic style is spot on, I could 100% see this on an NES system back in the day :)
Great job!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the mash-up, haha! Savestate did beautifully on the soundtrack, and I worked very hard on the graphics-- your kindness is very much appreciated, thank you for playing!
