A pretty fun good looking NES Puzzle with good music that loses its luster fast with how easy it is to either die or lock yourself out of being able to win the level. Intricate knowledge of the game and precise timed tricks should be reserved for advanced techniques and a post-game, not introduced in world 2. It's also hilariously easy to either get yourself killed or trap yourself in the level. Getting killed by a gem I was supposed to collect was funny the first time but really started getting to me around the 5th time.

I think with a bit of cleaning up and better design this novel idea could really be a great game, but I wouldn't recommend it without save states or an emulator with a rewind function.
