Yaay!
I've been playing this on Fighunter.com since it came out...and so am pleased to finally see it on NG. I find it hard, but that's the point, of course. Brilliant game, brilliant challenge.....10/10, 5/5. Great stuff, man.

Awesome!
This is an awesome game, and I think you have fully achieved the goal of recreating a *difficult* and fun NES-like platformer. I feel this game succeeds in all areas: gameplay, graphics, sound, story, and replay value. Platforming is my favorite genre, and I generally don't feel challenged by the games of today. But this was an exception.
Although the controls are good (and modifiable, of course), I honestly wish I could plug in a controller/gamepad to play this, because I had some trouble with the boss while using a keyboard. XD Got him down to about 20% on Intermediate. I had a hard time when he changed phases, like some other players did. Perhaps after some practice, I'll be able to pull it off. While the boss was more difficult than I would like (memorization-wise), I have no complaints. I feel like I could probably do the level part on Expert, but I doubt I could beat the boss without a *lot* of practice. :)
I really like the main character, and I'm really interested in the rest of the story. Thank you for making such a wonderful game. Can't wait for the rest!!
Old School !!
Very nice game, quite hard just like the old school game! I'd enjoyed it. It was aslo nice that the game is more than a 5 minutes easy game, but more like a "game". its really made for old school gamers who like me, enjoy playing those old nes games sometimes !
