The graphics are a wonderful mix of retro and modern, and the music is adorably and appropriately winsome. And then there's the gameplay, which I consider to be just as tight and well-tuned as the above-mentioned Gunpei Yokoi classic.

That's not to suggest the game is faultless. It requires a bit more backtracking than I'd like, for instance, and it can be a smidge befuddling from time to time (i.e., I'm not always sure where I should go or what I should do next).
Neither of those negatives will keep me from completing Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya's action-adventure triumph, though--nor should they keep you from giving his charmingly challenging title a try.

I got my tax return today, so I'm SO buying this game. Ha! What luck!
From the sounds of it, I may be gone a long time after I buy it. :-P
Great! Let me know what you think of it, OK? Hopefully you'll like it a lot more than you liked Muscle March :)
It's amazing. Simply wonderful. I think I played it for more hours than the day HAD yesterday. So fun! I can't wait to get back into it today.
Oh, I'm glad you're enjoying it! I'd play it right now if I didn't have loads of work to do. Maybe during my "lunch break."
Anyway, I think I'm most impressed with how the game controls and feels. It's amazing!
