A nice Miniquest though I had more than once the problem of killing foes mindless in the need of rubys.

Nostalrul is a must-play quest that is also very fun and solid though it does suffer a bit from difficulty balancing issues and easily found secrets that would otherwise make this an almost perfect quest.

Strengths

Solid overworld and solid progression
Nice use of rupees in terms of shopping
Creative and nicely designed dungeons
Some puzzles
Humorous dialogue and "story"
Decent screen design with no bugs
Amazing music and sound effect choices

Weaknesses

Easily found secrets
Sharp difficulty spike around Level 3
Underwhelming Level 4
Some screens were a little empty

Played through this for a LP, still relatively easy, so I'm editing my post. This is your first quest, it's a good one. Now the expectations get harder. Keep working on your dungeon design, and a longer final level next time! Stand by my rating, 4/5.

I'm gonna give this one a middle three. Decent quest, especially for a two-week time constraint, and you did fairly well in managing overworld progression. It was also pretty humorous as well, but secrets were pretty easy to find. Dungeons seemed to be fairly well-designed, though some enemy placement was a bit brutal, and level three in particular had a long way to go if you died late in the level, before you can access the boss room. Level four was also quite underwhelming. But, all things considered, not really a bad quest at all. :thumbsup:

Based on my LIVE Stream on 7/29/13:

Pros:
+ Impressive Overworld Layout and Design
+ Solid Gameplay

Cons:
- Lack of Depth in some areas.
- Unbalanced difficulty (Especially on Level 3)
- Lack of placement flags for enemies which means that they appear in awkward locations
- Minor, annoying Bugs

VERDICT: As a whole, Nostalrul is a solid first quest from Goriya with its impressive looking overworld and fun gameplay. But the unbalanced difficulty and occasional minor bugs may disrupt your experience.
