I had a lot of fun with this quest. Great job at making this and I'm glad you've made it with the GB tileset. Nothing would have been more fitting for this quest. The story is funny and jokey. I liked the few cutscenes you had.

Graphically everything is top-notch. You are really good with this tileset. I like the screen design, the detail and the palettes you've chosen.

Now, for the overworld I have something negative to say. I liked all the different areas, but within one area there was not much variation. This gets bad if the area is very big, such as the starting field area, which was not very interesting overall. There are also very few secrets and optional things to find on the overworld. Aside from that I liked the overworld.

The dungeon design was great for every single dungeon. You've always got new ideas and that makes the dungeons interesting. I would have preferred to have a spacebar map, but the layouts of the dungeons were easy enough to remember and I rarely got lost. You have a good number of different kinds of puzzles, which is good (I'm talking about little things like being trapped in a room with a trigger under a pot, etc). The enemy difficulty was always fair too. Towards the end I felt like there was a bit too much enemy spam, but the red ring compensated it. If you don't find the rings things get pretty hard I think.

I think this quest uses 100% sonic music only.. I love it. Not every track is great, but most are The music in joelmacool's dungeon should have been louder, as it was very quiet compared to the rest.

Definetly a great quest, one of your best actually. Can't believe I never played further than Level 1 until now.

Your Work with the Game Boy tileset is beautiful. Excluding the Oil area, but this is reasoned by the name. Also great story, not that I really understand much.

The rafts are horrible to hit. Also to the end enemy swarms. There are quests that are better than this one, so 4/5, but this quest is pretty great and fun.

Is it worth playing Eddy's Troll Day btw?

Dungeon design is nice, simplistic but with a nice flow. The palettes look great and overall is an above average quest. The overworld is repetitive, empty and uninspired, you have to put a more ton of effort with overworlds. Very few secrets here and there. Make them smaller if you do not know how to fill them. It's a chore to explore the overworld. I can't stand the music in this quest, it gets on my nerves... But the dungeons are good enough for a 3/5. Probably the best quest by Eddy.

An overall very well done quest, though not without its issues and annoyances.

Everything flowed well together and the quest kept a steady pace, though with some annoying exceptions. The overworld was well designed for the most part, despite being empty and becoming repetitive eventually, and the dungeons being well done, though with one very annoying exception. The 6 hours I spent on it were sweet and rewarding. The small amount of story there was was mostly entertaining, with my favorite part being the moment when you encounter Joelmacool.

The bad stuff? In recent quests that I've played, there tends to be at least one dungeon that stands out from the rest for being bad; wherever it be from being just poorly designed, places the player in very unfair situations (eg. Level 4 from LikeLike.Zm23), the gimmick being poorly executed (eg. Archeron from Hitodama) or the gimmick being just downright bad. Level 7, the Casino, is an example of a dungeon where the central gimmick is downright bad. Early on in the dungeon, you are thrown into a series roulette rooms which forms the dungeon's gimmick. The problem here is that the warps in the room takes you to one of four screens on a completely random basis and there are four of these rooms total, all interconnected with each other with an outside screen on the outside of each of the roulette rooms. Depending on your luck, it could take forever to reach the screen you want. At the very least give the player better control in where the slot rooms go - forcing the player to rely on luck alone get you to your destination and progress through the dungeon is a bad design choice. Fortunately, this is the only really bad dungeon in the quest and the rest of the quest more than makes up for more than that.
I also have serious beef with the forced death in the beginning of the game. Giving the player the Game Over screen should only be done as a form punishment for making too many mistakes and I consider this to be a cardinal rule in the world of gaming. Here, the quest completely breaks this rule and just kills the player for fun and there is no way to avoid it at all without using F6->Continue. Please never do this to the player, regardless of wherever it is in spirit or not. If you must do this, you should fake the game over screen via scripting or at the very least add in a script that has that death not increase the death counter (if that is possible). If not, do away with it entirely. Thankfully, it is at the very start of the quest and I didn't feel as cheated as what I would have been otherwise by it - elsewhere it would have been an automatic -1 star on my part.
Fortunately, these are the only real problems I have with the quest. There are other criticisms; like the bad ice physics (way too slow initial speed), various instances of pits that you have to ladder over instead of jumping and the other way around (which, admittedly, can not be helped due to scriptless ZQuest limitations), some of the immersion-breaking instances of unwalkable objects that are walkable otherwise in different scenarios and that the Master Sword and Gold (Purple) Ring breaks whatever balance of difficulty there is left of the quest when you get it in Level 9, but those are fairly small in the scope of the quest.

Solid 4/5 here.

Edit: Touched up the review.

I just finished this quest. It took me a little over 9 hours and 22 deaths. This was probably one the best quests I have played. It was logical and just plain fun!

God dang it Joel. He gets into other peoples' quests too.

(PS. I am enjoying this quest so far. Am up to Level 4 so far and the quest has been really easy, especially Level 3. I'm expecting the difficulty to ramp up here).

who has two thumbs and feather sequence broke level 8!!!!???

I've just started playing and I'm having so much fun. If the rest of the quest is as fun as the first 2 levels, you've got a hit for sure. :-)

I've played this about 30 mins so far. First impression: Perfect screendesign. Solid gameplay. Amazing and hilarious story. I really like it You are really good with this tileset, as the screendesign shows.

Finally! It's released! I've been looking forward to this for a while now!
