Much better than I expected it to be! The pixel art is just lovely <3
As a person who doesn't play a lot of metroidvanias, this one definitely made me want to try more of them! (if not for the fact that I figured out how to use the map only 26% in, but that's just me being stoopid)

After not finishing it as a kid, I picked this up again before the Thousand-Year Door remake. What a cute gem! Really polished for an N64 game!
