I love the sound I love the look I love the gameplay ah! Excited to play this properly once I get to 1988. I think I got frozen on one of the floaty platforms? And I'm a bit concerned about the concept/human enemies. But will have to do my research to get to know the game and concept better. Great foundation tho! I love the map in the corner I love how intuitive it allows and that the power ups were carried and readily available at the start. I love cute characters who can fight back in platform games. The list goes on!
