This was pretty nice! I had fun with it for the most part, though in a lot of areas the scaling was strange and sometimes just way too unforgiving. I also was never able to find the very last heart piece to get the blue ring. Maybe that's one me.. Overall though I was pretty hooked on it, I played it about 6 hours straight with 90 whole deaths. I think I had most frustrations on Level 7, but the boss on Level 5 was by far the worst. Mainly due to how the screen reset every time you fell in a hole, it made it incredibly frustrating. I think overall Level 8 was probably my favorite. Level 9 was really nice too, but the color palette threw me off a bit.. But I got used to it. I'm sure I missed some secrets and stuff considering I never found that last heart piece, or if maybe there was a shield somewhere. So to sum everything up. Overall level design was really really good, a lot of the gimmicks were really neat. The enemy choice and scaling was a bit strange at times, but I did sort of like having set enemies per region and dungeon for the most part. Though I think there was many times where there was just a massive contrast between some enemies in dungeons. Overall I give it a 4/5. Sorry if my review seems all over the place I was just kind of rambling.
EDIT: About the final heart container, I opened the quest in ZQuest and I counted every overworld heart container and there were only a total of 35. There were also none in any dungeons, so that would max your health at 19 hearts for the whole game. Maybe this was intentional and the blue ring was a jape, but worth noting I think.
