| Pros | + Unique gameplay idea + Good music and graphics |
| Cons | - The lack of diagonal movement makes the game feel sluggish |
Gameplay 7 / 10 |
The gameplay idea is quite interesting and kinda fun, but the lack of diagonal movement hampers it a bit. The boss fight is good. |
Graphics 8 / 10 |
The graphics are pretty good. The default GM effects (I think that's what they are?) look a bit weak, but I suppose they do also add to the charm a little. |
Sound 8 / 10 |
The music's also pretty good. Much better than smblvl11.mid, in any case. |
 |
Worth a playthrough for its unique mechanics. |

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it! This was the first time I ever tried using GM 8.0's built-in particle effects. They're admittedly not the greatest, but at least I learned something from using them. Much of the music comes from Seiken Densetsu 3 - when I made this game, I'd just finished playing SD3 for the first time. It had quite an awesome soundtrack. |
