This game accomplishes what it set out to do: it would feel perfectly at home on a Game Boy Color. The graphics and music are a perfect recreation of this era, the chip tunes are melodic and catchy and go well with the bright colored visuals. Gameplay wise it also captures this vibe, but that’s a mixed bag now. The game can feel pretty tough in ways that’s aren’t quite intended, the power ups are all neat ideas but some of them (especially the ice) control very clunky so you end up dying while battling the controls. It all feels pretty good to play but not great, but the level design and power ups do have good variety and you can tell a lot of love and care was put into it so I give it extra points for that.
