Unexpectedly good
Well, I was checking my latest submissions email, and yours was the first to pop up
I discarded it immediately as it one of the cliche sonic genres, but watched it all the same. I was impressed from the offset, I like how youve animated the sprites and the whole movement of them all is great.
Then I got to the game part of it, a pretty nice suprise, I fail to see why this sort of idea is not bigger than it should be really. The dungeon wasnt the funnest place to run around, maybe that could be improved with small Zelda-esque tasks to do? Not sure, just make it a bit more fun I guess.
The battle sequences are great fun, its obvious to see that a lot of time and effort went into them, thats not something you can fake, so well done. One of the criticisms of that battle parts is that it can get a tad samey doing the same attack attack attack, I think you should introduce variations of attacks really, to give us more choice. But apart from that, nice touch.
The sound was top notch, it fit right into the whole sequence so well done.
Thanks for a great movie/game, make more ^_^
