  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story revolves around a child forced to repay a $30,000 debt to a loan shark, echoing themes common in 1980s films. While the narrative has potential, it is criticized for being underdeveloped, despite the game featuring looping new game plus (NG+) that adds more story elements and increases difficulty. The overall experience is enhanced by strong pixel art and music, but the controls and storytelling leave something to be desired.

    • “Has looping new game plus with more story, and you keep your traversal equipment while it gets slightly harder.”
    • “The pixel art and music are a big plus, but the controls and story are a bit lacking.”
    • “That snake of a loan shark kidnapped them as an incentive to force you to pay back the debt (look, it was the 1980s - tasking a child with paying back 30k is the plot of most movies).”
    • “Has looping new game plus with more story, and you keep your traversal equipment, but it gets slightly harder.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
