I loved it. The level design in particular stood out to me - the way so many of them took the form of huge sprawling areas that would initially be linear but open up as you played through and unlocked shortcuts. The visual design is also incredible. It feels so nice having all the cute little designs to look at as you get the shit kicked out of you for the 17th time :)

Loved it. Franken is one of the most focused games I've ever played. It has the courage to strip away complicated gameplay in order to center the story, humor, and art in a way that works so perfectly - by deliberately simplifying the combat system, the game removes any pretense of trying to do something special with it, expertly setting your expectations and allowing you to clearheadedly enjoy everything else it has to offer. It's so naturally funny in a way that just makes me feel really nice. The length of the game is also a strength, the whole experience being just an hour long also contributes really well to the focus and makes it so easy to just enjoy in a single short sitting. Can't wait to see what else splendidland makes in the future!

A perfectly competent remake - it's Pearl for the Switch. I do wish they'd done more with this. There are some quality of life improvements and the Grand Underground is great, but other than that this feels more like a retexture than anything.
