Genuinely shocked by how good this is. Faithful to the original in the best sense; has a really great vision of what to do with the original prerendered artstyle given newer tools. I appreciate the restraint to keep to the original fixed, isometric camera angle and to faithfully reproduce the wonky look of the orginal models in just the right way. Where it makes changes, they support the original game well; it expands on the backgrounds in places where they're no longer subject to the same technical restrictions as the original, but which still fits very much with the original feel. Likewise, the few changes to the gameplay feel like they complement the original design without turning it into something dramatically different from what it used to be. Good stuff.
