What a fun little game!
It starts a bit slow and needs some more hints, but at the same has a lot of unique and cool ideas.
Took me 3 hours to beat without the boss rush.

This is a terrific quest. I had quite a lot of fun playing through the whole quest and some moments weren't expected at all (robbing a bank tho). The screen design was pretty well done for classic, so good job on that. The dungeons all have their own theme and don't feel repetitive, which is a good thing. Some of the enemies are very cool and have really unique ideas. I really loved some of the custom enemies (especially the final boss and the Fire Wizzrobe).

Though there are a few downsides which brought the rating down to a 4. For one, finding secrets and ways to progress was a bit too obscure. I mean, there are some good hints and secrets, like the different floor tile which you indicates a bomb spot, but there are some others that I couldn't find out on my own and had to use the forums, which kinda made it kinda annoying to get through at times. The worst one was to get to the boss of the Moblin Mansion, I mean, who would ever know that you had to use the Whistle on the first screen? That took me forever to find out and kinda wasted a lot of time.

A minor issue I found is the boss rush. I know it's optional and all, but holy crap that place is brutal. I gave up after quite a few tries (even with the best equipment) since things ended up getting intense very quickly, and I just can't be bothered to go through all that again. Hell that was WAY harder than the final boss itself which I cleared on my 2nd try. It would be cool to know what the reward was for the boss rush though.

Overall, this was a pretty great quest, just with a few problems here and there, but I enjoyed the majority of the quest and you did a really good job on this one! This gets around a 4.3/5 to me, which rounds down to a 4.

Lots of good ideas and music, this quest did confuse me at times though on figuring out what to do next.

Solid 4/5

wonderfully put together and very enjoyable great job

Absolutely Amazing.

I watched it be made, and now it can be played. Is this real life?

I've started playing this and it's a lot of fun. My only minor gripe is that you have to go back to the subscreen every time you want to change items (I like to quickly change them with L and R) and so far I didn't really see a benefit to being able to select the A button item. (of course, just after typing this, I reach an area where you precisely need that feature). Really enjoying the quest, good job.

I would suggest using different slots for black potion and healing potions because if you have black, you can never consume it unless you go in a like like.
