I recognize that there is great artistry in this game, and that it is high quality, but I just never really clicked with it. As much as I adored the art style, I just never really felt sunk into the feel or world the game presented to me.

A beautiful game with a lot of great mechanics that's just... missing something. I enjoy playing it, but don't come back to it often. Combined with a few design weaknesses, it just doesn't really sing like it could. It's just not quite there. Quite fun regardless! Worth playing if you love these kinds of games like me!

for some reason i cannot comprehend the image of a gameboy sprite of a candy mushroom is burned into my brain and i want nothing more than to escape this memory

It's alright! It's mostly a re-invention of the first game with changes here and there. Much less difficult, too. It feels a little less exciting because of that, but it's still a really fun game.

Also, Red's design is so cute and good and I love her.

Really solid game feel, for what it's worth. Game is bad, though.

Love the art and love the message, but unfortunately, the game part is really frustrating!

1994

A promising premise (using the ball is an interesting mechanic) with some pretty stunning animation, unfortunately hampered by sluggish controls and pretty forgettable level design
