This is a game I used to play on my aunt's computer when I was like 6 probably. I spent forever trying to find it again and eventually found out the creator put like all his shit on itch.io. This actually runs on modern hardware (can't alt tab though).

So this game is incredibly rough game design wise. You can only attack by finding an item that will let you, and sometimes the dev puts it in some bullshit place behind a bunch of enemies you can't kill. Sometimes there are bullshit puzzles you CANNOT figure out on your own. There are extremely dark dungeons with lazers that basically one shot you and are extremely hard to see. There are snails that retract into their shell if you get to close to them, making it so you cannot kill them, and they WILL body block you in door ways.
I can look past a lot of this though because the game is extremely charming/nostalgic to me. The art style is so low poly cheap 90's pc games. The water is like a cool gradient with ripple effects on it. The music isnt amazing but goddamn is it midi. It was also just made by 1 person, so he probably didn't have the wisdom for do's and do not's in game design. Also some actually impressive stuff to me in here.

Overall, really cool game 👍
